Learn from the poster before u, his 2c worth is more constructive than yours.
Why don't u share your experience or investment with us instead?

Yes I feel superior to a bumbling c0ckhead who is too lazy to do 5min google research before throwing thousands of $$$ into something.

Just look at you, only know hot to whine about being poor and post silly 1 liner questions expecting people to spoonfeed you how to make money. Pathetic.

Can make extra money to pay for your car.

assuming using your own car, have you considered the wear and tear that will be incurred, after petrol and uber cut...still can make any significant sum considering the time put in? if so easy, everyone will be doing it...and singapore everyone also no financial woes already..

Hi.

I am starting this thread so that everyone can share how to make e.g. $1000 more per month on top of your current job.

Hope this can provide some useful information, of course the guy who looks out the window everyday might pop by but we can just ignore him.

For me, I am selling put options on some stocks that I do not mind holding.
However, as Apple stock is expensive, I get only about 0.5% return per month on my capital $40,000.

Also, I am also invested in a fund, EXG that pays dividend monthly and the yield is ~7% per year, after US dividend tax.

I did some research on convertible bonds which seem to payout some dividend and provide some upside when stocks go up as can convert to stocks but most are priced above par so haven not shortlisted any so far.

So guys, any good opportunities to share other that COE price going up, look out window, sell HDB flat and retire overseas?

Well I've been asking myself the same question for a long time too. Tried a couple of ways like playing in gigs and all, cos I sing and play the guitar. Always thought that passion could bring you money, especially since it's a sideline, but it wasn't sustainable.

And then I dabbled in some affiliate marketing a couple of months ago, and it seems pretty promising. Looks like I did find something after all.

High risk high return. My friend made few hundred grand a year for many years and lost close to 1mil last year.

Best is to be uber or grab driver. You can earn to cover the loan for your car.
So, let's say you buy a luxury sedan which costs you $2000 pm in monthly instalment.
You can be a part time uber or grab driver to earn maybe $1000 pm to cover half the cost.
This way you look rich even though you're not. If you drive a luxury sedan, the chances of getting a life partner is higher than if you take bus. Go for it!
