It may be time to try and find other ways to cut back – for example, maybe school needs to be put on hold until debts can be paid off – and you’re in a better financial position. Or try finding another better paying job? I know it’s not easy, but there’s usually another way.

I do thank you for informing most Americans on how to create their own stimulus check but for the average hardworking American who lives check to check I have cut back everything and still owe everyone and I currently work two jobs and attend school, so I need a stimulus, any suggestions now?

Your dumb….Not getting a second job, I enjoy seeing my family. As for paying cash for everything, credit or debit is easier for people to take than cash these days and unless you shop at a flee market people don’t just give you a discount for being nice. Get a clue.

We’re considered middle class but we can’t save money for our children’s college.

Saint, writing a blog for income as stated above isn’t going to be super profitable right away. It took me a few months to make anything, and even then it took a bit of luck. I’m at the point now where its a nice side income, nothing to quit my day job for, however.

We would need a whole other set of blog posts to talk about starting a blog, but basically..

1. start a blog using wordpress self hosted with a custom domain name if you can.. otherwise test the waters with a blogspot.com blog. You can export from there later on if you decide you want to continue.
2. Put adsense ads on your site.
3. Pick a niche, preferrably one that has some good traffic and where others have been successful.
4. Write lots of good content, daily at first.
5. Promote your blog by commenting on other popular blogs, and by networking with other bloggers – guest posting if possible.
6. Wash Rinse repeat.
7. Discover other sources of website revenue like text links, ad banners, CPM ad networks and affiliate income.

there’s a quick start for you. A good place for pointers is blogthority.com and problogger.net

Good luck!

p.s. oh, and sign up for cash crate through my link on this page, that’s an easy way to make some side income!

I would do the same as I did with my first check.
Pay off my credit card. Thanks to the government I now only owe 2,000 and after this check I will be credit card free. Thanks Bush. This is the only good thing to come out of the past eight years. Unfurtunatly everyone around me is suffering for it.
