20 abr Using this method gave us so much motivation and a very positive feeling whenever we paid a loan balance off!

You can make probably around $400 a month, sometimes even more when there is a promotion going on! Each donation, depending on the place, will take around one hour total and you can donate up to twice in one week.

It was so easy , just had to lie down there and could read a book or play on the phone.

I still donate plasma sometimes when they have a good promotion, but now the money I get is my “freedom/fun money” lol.

7. Found higher paying job

I always worked full time while going to school full time. During my time at college, I moved up the ranks to a supervisor position when I first got married. Then to an account manager during the last year of my bachelor's program. I then became a product development specialist after the first semester of my MBA.

Each position change gave me around a $15,000 salary increase. In total, I had around a $30,000 salary increase during school! I would quickly move to another position once I became comfortable with my job responsibilities and look for opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills.

8. Employer tuition reimbursement.

The company I work at as a product development specialist is amazing. They offered me $3000 each year of tuition reimbursement.

9. Other student financial aid.

After getting married I received some grants so for the remainder of my bachelor's degree, I didn't pay any tuition at all.

10. Debt Snowball.

While we were saving and paying for my MBA tuition, I still needed to pay off the student loans left from my bachelor's degree. We used the debt snow method to get it.

First, we listed out all the balances and then paid them off from small to big, ignoring the interest rate.

Then what happened later was the COVID student loan relief plan where the interest rate became zero during a certain time period. We were able to save a lot on interest from that relief plan.
