• I know what would make me happy in life. If I could learn a skill that would allow me to create something, which would generate income through the internet once it's posted. But I'm having a hard time trying to find these things (so I can make a list and choose what I like), do you have any ideas?

  3) If you have a specialized skill set or experience, there are sites that connect you with businesses/organizations that will pay for your opinion, and they'll pay 2-3x your usual hourly rate. For example, https://deepbench.io/ or https://glginsights.com/consulting/. Source: over 2 years ago

• How to spy on your competition (details in comments)

  There's at least one place where you can get some competitive intel (at least for now). DeepBench is a smaller but up-and-coming expert network that is trying to build a more transparent marketplace. If you register as an expert, you can also click in to their database to search through and review full profiles, including rates. DeepBench is certainly not as large or deep (pun intended) as other networks, but... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Is $250 a month in disposable income livable for a family of 3?

  You'll be going into a tight budget time, so get a really good system in place. If you don't have that you love already, I recommend YNAB (youneedabudget.com).

• LPT Request: What is your favorite life hack that has saved you money, time, or made your day-to-day activities easier?

  I also said in a comment below, I use YNAB to track my financial life. This strategy only works if you have enough confidence in your finances to know that if I gave you a card with 100k credit limit, you would never spend more on it than what you have in your bank and has been budgeted for. If not, I cannot overstate how important it is to get your budget in order beforehand. There’s zero money saved if you pay... Source: almost 1 year ago

• Tracking savings goals

  Track it by hand or in software. I started out with just a spreadsheet, but since then moved my whole budget to YNAB (youneedabudget.com), where you track all your individual savings goals as well as how your money will be used to cover regular (and irregular) expenses. Now the whole plan is in one place, and covers everything from how much is set aside for gardening supplies for this summer to the big... Source: about 1 year ago

• My grandfather passed away and left me 25k. I have next to no savings and I owe money on a couple credit cards and a car. Almost 40, how do I maximize this?

  Aside from all the other advice, get a subscription to YNAB (youneedabudget.com) and start using it religiously. It will help prevent any backsliding and will put you in a much better financial situation going forward. Source: about 1 year ago
