While the economic state of the country is currently in a downfall, many families are seeking ways to find money during the pandemic. If you haven’t been affected personally, you may know someone who has been affected financially by the COVID-19 pandemic. Situations like unemployment, loss of a business, or even death of a family member can cause your whole world to be shaken upside down within seconds. What do you do? Be advised, you can still have hope even when things look bleak. As we prepare to approach a new season, now is the time to start thinking about what money changes should be implemented inside and outside of the home. Check out three ways you can find money and possibly improve your financial position in the midst of a pandemic.

  1. Consider Modifying Shopping Habits :

If you are a person who absolutely loves shopping (like myself) and your funds are low, then maybe it’s time to look at new ways or new places to shop. Instead of shopping at name-brand exclusive stores like Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Anthropologie, or Macy’s you may have to scale it down a bit. For example, how about shopping at stores that offer bargain prices such as Walmart, Sam’s Club, Marshalls, or Nordstrom Rack. I have personally found great bargains on clothing items during the summer months. My motto is a) “it’s not what you wear that defines the person” and b) “looking good doesn’t have to cost a lot”. Check out these two outfits I styled by making purchases from Walmart and Sam’s Club. There are easy ways to style an outfit as long as you have a vision. Taking these steps are sure ways to keep money in your pockets.

2) Consider Selling Gently Used Clothes :

I know many of you probably have clothes that you can no longer fit nor wear. Now that summer is ending, it’s the perfect time to do a thorough cleaning of your closet. You may be surprised to find items that you have not even worn so far this year. thredUP is the world’s largest online thrift store where you can buy and sell high-quality secondhand clothes and earn cash! Consignment stores are the best way to easily get money for your old clothing. Make sure you check their website for the rules and guidelines used for buying or selling your clothes. It also wouldn’t hurt for you to consider listing your gently used clothes on Poshmark or eBay.

3) Consider Selling Jewelry :

Have you ever thought about selling old jewelry that you no longer care about? You know the old gold chain necklaces and earrings that were once special but are now broken and have too many twisted links to untangle. Or maybe you’ve even lost the mate to a once favorite pair of gold earrings. Chapes-JPL, located in Atlanta, Georgia, a gold, jewelry buyer, and seller will be happy to buy your jewelry right on the spot for cash.

These low-interest business loans could help restart your business or even keep your business afloat.
