Millennials get a bad rep. We’re supposedly the lazy, avocado-toast-loving, can’t buy a house generation. But really, we just work smarter, not harder.

And we’re actually more inclined to be financially stable since the Great Recession forced us to focus on stability instead of striking it rich.

So let’s hone in on that. Work smarter, not harder to earn some side money. And we found some ways below that can help. Going to get some groceries? Get some cash back out of it. Already using your phone a lot? Earn some money out of that too. Here are some lazy ways to make and save money that Millennials can incorporate into their everyday routine.

1. Get Up to $55 Per Win Popping Bubbles

Make consistent extra money playing Bubble Cash, where you match 3 bubbles of the same color until you clear the board. It’s popular, too, since the iOS game is frequently ranked within the Top 10 in the App Store with a 4.6/5 star rating with over 74K+ reviews!

Win free cash when you collect enough gems to enter practice tournaments, and then win MORE when you enter the higher stakes tournaments (there’s a small entry fee for the bigger tournaments).

Play for free now, and then switch to cash games to increase your winnings whenever you want. Obviously, this won’t make you rich, but 100% worth it compared to other games that don’t pay.

2. Get Free Money Back on All Your Shopping Hauls

Check your pockets; check your purse. And keep receipts for your iPhone.

Just grab all your recent receipts from your coffee runs, grocery trips, restaurants, and gas station fill-ups, scan them into Fetch Rewards on iOS, and earn points for free money! Connect your email account, as well, to count DIGITAL receipts from Amazon, Instacart, and more.

Basically, snap a pic of your receipt from anywhere, and that’s it; you’ve got points for money. There’s no minimum spend, no need to select items manually, scan in any receipt from any store or gas station, and it’ll automatically reward you.

It’s free and easy to use and is a must-have iOS app for anyone who buys stuff!
