7 Ways for Teachers to Make and Save Money

"Teachers Don't Get Paid Enough" is what we constantly hear, but if you budget your money correctly and find ways to get paid for your expertise, you'll be able to keep the job you love and pay the mortage.

1. Save Money Without Even Missing It When you pay offf a bill or when you get your yearly raise; automatically have the money you saved or made transferred to your savings account. For example, when I paid off my computer loan, I had the 75.00 that I saved automatically transfrerred to my savings account. I didn't even miss it.

2. Find sites that offer FREE STUFF There are many sites like www.freethingsforteachers.com that cater to teachers. www.enotes.com is another site that offers free worksheets, lesson plans , and even ebooks for teachers.

3. Get your a Side Hustle On Use your expertise in education to make EXTRA money. Just because teachers don't get paid much doesn't mean your services aren't valuable in the "real" world. For example, I signed up as an editor at Enotes.com, and I can make 25.00-60.00 extra a month by answering questions about literature or uploading worksheets that I created for my students.

6. Stop Buying New Books-- You can buy books that in great condition at a fraction of the price at http://www.amazon.com/

7. Give to Others-- As Christian, I believe in tithing 10% of my income. I try to donate 10% of my income to a local Christian charity every month. I always feel better about my finances when I am helping others.
