March Money Madness

Hello and welcome to our journey to become debt free! I've had a couple of different blogs documenting this, but I've always fizzled out. I want to stick with this one and finally achieve our goal of becoming debt free! I'll do an introduction post with some numbers soon, but for now, I want to introduce a challenge I'm doing this month called "March Money Madness" where I'm working to make an extra $10 per day. 

Why $10? 

It's a small enough number that it doesn't seem overwhelming, but it's large enough to add up to a nice amount at the end of the month. If I hit the minimum of $10 daily, that's an extra $310 this month, before setting some aside for taxes (please note that I'm not a tax professional nor do I give tax advice. I do what works for us, but if you plan to participate, you'll need to talk to a tax pro to see what works for you!). 

How do I plan to make an extra $10 per day? 

My primary method will be taking surveys. I'm on several survey sites, and although none of them pay enough to replace my full-time income, they should have enough surveys available to help me reach this daily goal. I also want to try a few other things, like selling some home decor that we're tired of, in order to reach this goal.

How will I track it?

I'm a spreadsheet fanatic, so I'll input what I make each day and from which source onto a spreadsheet that I've already created. I'll share the daily progress on our Instagram page. I'll also share updates here when I post; right now, my plan is to post on Mondays about various topics, including some of the survey sites I use, so I'll include a little recap here when I post. 

If you want to follow along or attempt the challenge, leave a comment here or on our Instagram page. Good luck!
