When I was in second year college, that was the time when I decided to accumulate more money based on different sources. Though it can be challenging especially since I have no time for part-time work due to my school schedule plus daily travel already eats up the whole day. Instead, I try to find different ways on how to accumulate wealth no matter how big or small it was. It's better to get started than do nothing. So below are the different ways how I earned money and used them to grow my own portfolio by reinvesting. Now, even as an unemployed fresh graduate, I am happy that I accumulated enough wealth that is better than most paying jobs out there, including the ones I gained from crypto and BCH.

Allowances

Since I stepped in school, from Grade 3 up until the final year of college I am being given allowance from my parents. I first started with 10 pesos a day ($ 0.2) which is enough to buy meals and biscuits for recess. Most of the time I purchase a simple set of meal consisting of biscuits and I have my drinking water bottle so that I don't have to purchase drinks. I often save 2 pesos a day by doing this and put them all in my piggy bank. In high school I was given 100 pesos ($2) daily as there are recess and lunch times now which need more budget. I save 20 pesos daily then.

For college, my daily allowance is now at P300 ( $6) which covers my transportation fees, food, and some other miscellaneous things that I can use it for. After graduating from college I was able to save $200 worth of money which isn't amazing, but still better than nothing.

Christmas and Birthday Gifts (as money)

Every Christmas, I know that people are very excited because they will receive some gift coming from their relatives, aunts and uncles. In my case I have several uncles and aunts who generously give me $30 worth of money every year. This is often consumed as part of my allowance or for things that I wanted to buy.

Taking online surveys

I started searching online on the different ways on how to earn money since I was 3rd year in college. These surveys are often used for research purposes by the different companies who endorse their products and services. I had like 5 sites used for almost 3 years. These have allowed me to earn $250 in total since I started, and I stopped using them ever since I discovered BCH and crypto. I found that they are not worth the time and effort especially when I find it that I get disqualified or it takes weeks to get my payout. And sometimes the surveys are filled up quickly which minimizes my earning opportunities.

Mobile apps

For now, I use the mobile apps that allows passive earning opportunity. I use the Current app for playing music and charging your mobile. I also used the Display/Tsu social before. Ever since I discovered noise and crypto, I never came back lol. I find that it can be time inefficient to support different people out there and there are so much spammers and stealers that would ruin your day. Thankfully most of the people I know and became friends with have transferred into noise. It's a lot more fun with genuine interaction and the earning opportunities are way better. I have also learned a lot about BCH and crypto in general because of the amazing community who share their knowledge and experiences with us.

Closing Thoughts

I can say that I am contented with how I earned before when I was still studying, and even up until now since I am unemployed. I have discovered lots of great opportunities in crypto and I know they are helping everyone to be financially free little-by-little. With dedication, consistency, and hard work, financial freedom is just a step away.

Care to share your experiences about they ways you earned before? Especially when you didn't have work yet and tried to do your best. We will always surprise ourselves in the future how it went for us.

Have a great weekend and Saturday you guys! It was another busy week for me personally, by next week I hope that won't be the case.
