18 Weird (but Totally Legal) Ways To Pay Rent in 2021
It’s a fresh new year and good riddance to 2020.
We should be grateful for our health and definitely, a place to live.
Even though every time that chunk of rent payment leaves your bank account and into someone else’s, it hurts just a little bit. But it’s the price to pay for having your own living space and basically, a non-negotiable.
So keep making those rent payments and we’re making it a little bit easier by suggesting some things you can do to earn some side cash as well as manage your money more efficiently. Even better when you can get paid for doing stuff you already do!

5. Find Curated Remote and Flexible Jobs With This Site
With a record 40 million people that filed for unemployment,* it’s crucial to be able to hold a remote or flexible full-time or part-time position in these still uncertain times.
Instead of searching through irrelevant job boards, use FlexJobs, a 13+ year old company that specializes in finding only remote and flexible schedule jobs. For a limited time, their membership plans are 30% off (with promo code SAVE30) making the plans only:
- $4.95 /week

- $44.95 /year (best value)
Memberships include access to jobs as well as resources like Career Coaching, Resume Review, 170 expert skills tests to better assess and promote your skills, and more.
Lori S. from Colorado Springs, CO said, “I would have spent hours trying to find these jobs on my own. I LOVE this website!! These are jobs that are not easy to find—I found the membership fee very reasonable and worth every penny considering I have found two wonderful jobs through FlexJobs.”
Non-essential workers are being asked to stay home during these times but making money is essential to everyone so take advantage of the 30% off membership plans to look at what could be your next new job! Remember to use promo code SAVE30.
