Step 1: The No-Spend Challenge (Save $30-$50) 🚫💸

Why it works:

• You avoid small, unnecessary expenses that add up fast.

• It forces you to get creative with what you already have.

How to do it:
✔ No takeout or delivery—cook at home.
✔ Skip coffee runs—make your own.
✔ Use what you already have—instead of shopping for groceries, meal plan with what’s in your fridge.

💰 Potential Savings: $30-$50

Step 2: Sell One Unused Item (Earn $20-$50) 🛍

Why it works:

• You declutter and make quick cash at the same time.

• Items that you don’t use could be valuable to someone else.

How to do it:
✔ Find one item you no longer need (clothes, electronics, furniture).
✔ List it on Facebook Marketplace, eBay, or Mercari.
✔ Choose local pickup for an instant sale!

💰 Potential Earnings: $20-$50

Step 3: Cash Back & Discount Hacks (Save $10-$20) 🎟

Why it works:

• Most people don’t take advantage of rewards.

• Free money is just waiting to be claimed!

How to do it:
✔ Scan old receipts into Fetch Rewards for instant points.
✔ Use Rakuten or Honey when shopping online.
✔ Claim cashback on gas, groceries, and essentials.

💰 Potential Savings: $10-$20

Step 4: Do a Quick Side Hustle (Earn $30-$50) 💼

Why it works:

• You can make extra money without leaving your home.

• Even one small gig adds up!

How to do it:
✔ Sign up for Fiverr, Upwork, or TaskRabbit and do a quick gig.
