I was just thinking about what a neighbor of ours is doing to earn extra money. He has a few paper routes and he and his son deliver newspapers every morning. For a few hours of work every morning, they make several hundred extra dollars a month. It’s not the best sideline, but it does pay the lot rent and utilities here in the trailer park.
Another neighbor donates plasma for extra money. She makes $150 a month just selling her blood. That’s not too bad, between her and her boyfriend, they have enough to pay for their lot rent just from selling plasma.
Still another neighbor is a canner. He goes out every day and he collects recyclable stuff for extra money.
Lots of ways to earn money. What do you do?

A friend of mine has suggested that I start making candles in my free time. I think this could be a very interesting business. I did make scented candles back in high school.
My friends and I had to do an arts project and we chose to make candles. It was fairly easy getting the wax to make the candles. The fun part was coming up with the scents to put in the candles. We used some flowers in a mortar and pestle and transfered it into the candle wax.
The end result was pretty good, but we only got a B on the assignment. Oh well.
I never thought this could be a business idea, but after the suggestion, I think it could be a very nice home business that wouldn’t require a lot of work to do. Hmm, maybe I will start it up!
