College student in need
I’m 22 years old and just completed my freshman year of college, and honestly I’ve been feeling really stressed seeing other people my age already having apartments, careers, money saved up, etc. I know everybody moves at their own pace, but it’s hard not to compare sometimes.
I really want to move into my own place and build stability for myself, but financially I’m not where I want to be yet. I’m currently trying to figure out ways to make passive income or just any extra money on the side while balancing school.
Does anybody have advice on realistic ways to make extra cash as a college student? Whether it’s online work, side hustles, passive income ideas, or things that actually helped you get ahead financially, I’d really appreciate it. I just want to stop feeling so stressed about money and start working toward getting my own spot. The reason why I want my own spot is because the dorms at my school are terrible. I went through months of having no air conditioning and I lived in a 6 floor dorm building so it was incredibly hot. Our elevator would constantly break all the time, we lost power multiple times in our building and etc.
