20 FUN MONEY SAVING & EARNING HACKS TO HELP SAVE & INVEST $20,000 💜 THE $1000 PROJECT IS BACK!
Feb 1, 2024
Round 5 of The $1000 Project is back and I am determined to save and invest at least $20,000 over the next 12 months doing at least 20 of these easy money save and earning hacks. The equivalent of the passive income will be donated to World Vision's 1000 Girl Movement and I am going to be supporting a rural town in Mayanmar, (Burma). Whilst I intend so save and invest more than $20,000, I am keeping in mind that we are house hunting, Apple is still young (I am still sleep deprived), plus we want to do IVF again...so $20,000 feels like the right goal for me this time.

Round five of the $1,000 project is underway and I have never been so motivated and inspired
0:13
For every $600 a year worth of passive income that I build through saving, earning, manifesting
0:20
hustling, reinvesting gets to go and support World Vision's The Thousand Girl Movement
0:26
So I have a seriously busy 12 months ahead of me. And I'm going to be doing all sorts of crazy, creative things to come up with as much money as possible
0:36
Because for every $1,000 I come up with, I invested. And that investment creates a passive income stream, which is going to go towards World Vision and sponsoring a girl
0:45
So far, the project has a passive income of $5,000 a year. And that means I can support eight girls definitely
0:52
So I want to try and support a whole community of girls. So for this video, I'm sharing with you the things I'm going to be focusing on immediately to come up with at least
1:00
$20,000 if possible. So I'm going to share this all with you right now
1:06
Alright, see this? It's a 600 milliliter bottle of water and I've started filling it up with
1:12
$2 coins. Now apparently when it gets to the brim, there should be $1,000 in here
1:18
So I might even try and do this a few times. So if there's a $2 coin in my path, I'm picking it up and
1:25
popping it into this bad baby. market research, one of my favorite ways to bring in some quick cash. Now I've registered with a
1:36
whole pile of different market research companies, but this is a great way to earn some extra
1:40
cash. Some of these groups are done in an office, some are done online, and some are even done
1:45
over the phone, but it's a really quick and easy way to earn some extra money, and it's also really
1:49
interesting at the same time. How good is that? Joe, no, at least one weekend per month
1:55
I going to stay at home and do absolutely nothing I going to We punish my soul recharge my batteries hang out with this little one read books play with toys bake things
2:07
and it's going to be really budget friendly and cost effective. Those savings are really going to add up
2:15
I'm going to be entertaining a lot more at home. I'm going to be cutting down the restaurants and the bars
2:21
and inviting friends to come back to my place where we all bring a bottle of wine or a plate of food
2:26
and entertain in my own backyard. I'm going to save money by buying pre-loved fashion instead of brand new fashion all the time
2:36
Like this top that I bought for $120, pre-loved, instead of buying brand new from the store for over $350
2:44
These savings really do add up. Also, don't forget, you're welcome to join in and do the $1,000 project with me
2:52
I'm even going to do my own skincare and beauty care treatments at home to save my money
2:56
Instead of getting a professional spray tan in a salon, I'm going to have a go at doing this myself
3:02
And I know it takes practice, but I can do this. Also, I'm going to tint and dye my own lashes to save money
3:08
And who doesn't love doing their own facial and face mask in the privacy of your own home
3:14
All these savings are proactively adding up. And every time I invest more money, I'm building and buying more passive income streams
3:22
which helps support the Thousand Girl Movement for World Vision. I'll also be doing frugal February, where I become the world's biggest tight-ass for 30 days straight
3:35
I'm also going to be doing some fairly extensive food planning so that I don't waste any money on food
3:42
And of course I'm going to be doing manifesting March where who knows what the universe has in store
3:49
I'm also going to be selling the clothes that don't fit me anymore or don't suit me to the second-hand economy
3:55
I also going to be earning some extra cash through websites like cash rewards where essentially you get commission on your own shopping In fact I already got saved up in my cash rewards bank Oh on that note of online shopping I also going to be searching for any coupons or codes that give me free delivery a percentage of a discount or a couple of dollars at the checkout
4:20
All these little savings may sound small, but they really do add up. I'm also going to be saving money by having coffees at home
4:29
home. Whilst I still love supporting my local cafes, I'm just going to make sure I try and have a few more at home
4:36
This is also going to help with my waistline because I'll be getting less temptation from banana
4:40
bread, muffins, chocry croissons, normal croissons, cupcakes, all those naughty things that I do
4:47
love to get at a cafe. I'm also going to be saving money by taking my lunch to work. Now
4:54
every time I do this, I save at least $20. I'm going to be using fun money saving charts that I actually discovered by following you guys on Instagram
5:08
These really cool money saving charts look so much fun. You essentially cross off each week the amount of money that you've managed to save and you quickly realize how all those little savings here and there add up to some seriously big savings
5:23
I'm also going to be saving money by buying Rocco and Apple's clothes on the secondhand
5:29
economy. They're growing so quickly and Rocco ruins his clothes. So you know what? Instead of buying
5:34
brand new expensive clothes, I'm buying perfectly good pre-loved clothes. If it's good enough for me
5:40
it's good enough for them. I'm also going to be continuing on with my decluttering minimalism
5:47
mission and every time I come across something that I don't love, value, use and appreciate
5:52
anymore, I'm going to let it go through the secondhand economy by using websites such as Gumtree
5:59
eBay and the Facebook Buy swap groups One Sunday of every month I going to dedicate that day to doing some extra work to earn some extra cash
6:12
And only being one Sunday per month is not going to take away too much quality time
6:17
from my family. I'm going to be saving money by using my credit card responsibly
6:25
In June next year, I want to take my family skiing to one of my favorite places in the
6:29
world, which is Queenstown. New Zealand. And to help save money and paying for the airfare, I'm going to be using my frequent
6:36
flyer points, which is connected to my credit card. So hopefully now you realize how determined
6:44
and motivated I am to make sure that round five of the $1,000 project is a huge success. Now
6:51
if you want to do the $1,000 project with me, I would love that. So make sure that the moment
6:56
you find some new savings, the moment you earn some extra money no matter how big, you're going to
7:01
or how small it is, that you proactively put that money in a separate, dedicated savings
7:07
account so that it's away from temptation, and that that savings account is nicknamed
7:12
my $1,000 project account. And the moment your account balance hits $1,000, you go and use that money to your financial
7:22
advantage, whether it be paying off a credit card debt, whether it be paying off your student
7:27
loans or a personal loan, or even like me investing, or even potentially
7:31
saving up for your first home or bringing on a bigger and better retirement. Make sure that
7:37
every time that $1,000 that you create, save, earn, manifest hustle goes towards your financial
7:45
future, helping make it bigger, better and stronger. Now in the meantime, I am so excited
7:50
