I have always been a big fan of getting up early and working all day. There really are not any easy ways to make extra money until you have enough to invest. For example, if you have $10,000 to put in a high-yield online savings account (4.5% APY or more) it could earn $37.50/month in interest. However, for those who do not yet have a fully funded 3-6 month emergency fund, we have to work. That could be working an extra part-time job or developing new products and services that people want to buy. In the long run, the more you save the more options for have for passive income!
