Don't think side gigs can really make a difference in your finances? Well, my husband Kevin was able to pay off about $87,000 of student loan debt in less than 3 years! A key part of his strategy was growing the gap between what he earned and what he spent. Side hustles allowed him to get to his debt-free years sooner than he had planned. If you're looking to boost your savings or speed things up to become debt free, here are seven fantastic ways to make more money!

This side gig can be done right after you get off of work and you can likely make up your own hours depending on your schedule. Not only are you seeing the sights around town, but you can make a few deliveries and come home with even more dollars in your bank account!Lyft/Uber Driver
Recently we were attending a farmers market downtown and bumped into a friend. He mentioned that he was looking forward to his evening because he was going to do some rideshare driving. He loves it because for an extra hour or two he can snag some cash.Pet Sitting and Dog Walking
This can be a fun side gig if you're an animal lover. While families go on vacation, they'd loved to have their furry pets taken care of. There are a handful of dog walking-related apps that you can download, take a screener questionnaire, and then start walking dogs in no time! Even if they stay in town, there's also a need for dog walkers in certain neighborhoods.Scooter Charger
Does your city have electric scooters? You could get paid for charging them! Depending on how many you charge at home, you can earn $100 for just plugging them in and returning them charged.Fix up and Flip
