How I Deal With Money Stress

My girlfriend and I have had an especially hard time financially in the last couple of months, which has caused us both a great deal of stress.

Fortunately we had each other to lean on, which always helps. But ultimately we each had to work through the stress in our own way.

Since I spend most of my time at home, I went on the internet to see how I could do both save money and make some money.

7 things I did to make money

1. Got a job writing articles - doesn't pay a lot, but pays into my PayPal account every Friday - what I make is up to me.


2. Started selling cute T-shirts online. Again, doesn't pay a lot, but it didn't take much effort. I just created the design and put posts on blogs with a link in my signature. So far I've got 3 orders!


3. Cashed in my pay-per-click and survey programs.


4. Found a good affiliate and started selling their wares - again, takes nothing but a little time and a little research.


5. Exercise - Other than tennis, I try to work out with my kettle bell, Swiss ball, tubes, and dumbbells at least once a day. I also have a yoga tape I like to use.


6. Read - I have some great self-help books that I turn to in times of stress to try to keep me grounded and keep my spirits up


7. Reiki - I actually have a Reiki CD that I pop in and follow to help get my energy balanced
