Almost half of millennials live paycheck to paycheck, and with inflation rising, the cycle can be vicious and hard to escape.  If you need help paying the rent, find a local rental assistance program in your area to see your options, in addition to sticking to a budget, reducing whatever expenses you can (even if it’s temporary), and selling anything you don’t need. 

For additional help, we’re listing some ways below that can help you start earning extra cash and managing money more efficiently. Some are actually even fun! Not every option applies to everyone though, so bookmark this article and try them out a little at a time to see what works best for you.
