Absolutely, I totally get that! Summer can be a great time to boost your income and save up for the school year. Here are some ideas you might consider:

Gig Economy Jobs: Consider driving for rideshare services like Uber or Lyft, or delivering for food services like DoorDash or Postmates. They let you set your own hours.
Selling Unused Items: Go through your stuff and sell anything you don’t need on platforms like eBay, Poshmark, or Facebook Marketplace.
Pet Sitting or Dog Walking: If you love animals, this can be a fun way to earn money. Use apps like Rover or Wag to find clients.
Yard Work or Gardening: Offer your services in your neighborhood for mowing lawns, weeding, or general yard maintenance.
Create an Online Course: Share your knowledge in a subject you excel in by creating an online course and selling it on platforms like Udemy or Teachable.
Seasonal Work: Many tourist places, parks, and camps need additional staff during the summer. Check out local opportunities.
Remember to balance work with fun! It’s important to enjoy your summer too. Good luck with your money-making endeavors!
