<prompt> Human: Im a recent college grad working for a startup. Most of my time goes to that, and while it does pay decent, my student loans just kicked in and Im realizing I dont have much money left at the end of the month for leisure or savings. Not to mention I have some looming 1099s and this is going to be a bad april. How can I make some extra money on the side with minimal effort? Open to suggestions. As a thought - I have an 08 macbook and I was thinking I could find a way to let it run something while I was at work that would pick up some extra cash? Putting the obvious aside, selling the computer isnt something Im interested in.  <response>: You are looking to find something for nothing. Read through your question and see how reasonable it sounds.Its generally easier to cut spending than increase income without getting a new or second job. Where can you reduce spending? Ride your bike instead of car? Drink at home instead of a bar? Stop buying a new video game every month? Youll have to look at your own spending to figure that out.What kind of hours do you work? Working a second part time job for just 3 months can add up. Those are all hours you wont be spending money and will be earning it instead.
