When you log into your bank account, how do your savings look? Probably not as good as you’d like. It always seems like an uphill battle to build (and keep) a decent amount in savings.

But what if your car breaks down, or you have a sudden medical bill?

Ask one of these companies to help…

1. Invest in Real Estate Without the Volatility — You Only Need $500

You’re not the only one who daydreams about making money in your sleep. Investing in real estate is one of the best ways to earn passive income. The only problem? You need to have lots of money.

Well, you used to.

With a company called Connect Invest you can get your foot in the door for just $500, investing in what are called short notes. And, if you make your first investment within 40 days of signing up, you can earn a $50 bonus.

Basically, you’re buying the debt that wealthy developers take on to fund their real estate projects — and they have to pay you back, with up to 9% (annualized rate) in interest… while you sleep.

With Connect Invest, you’ll invest for terms of 6, 12, or 24 months, during which you’ll receive monthly fixed-interest payments between 7.5% and 9% (annualized rate). You could earn a legit passive income with those rates — and it’s way higher than what you’d earn with your savings account!

Connect Invest carefully vets each real estate project and borrower. And don’t worry, all loans are backed by real estate collateral. In the rare event of a default, Connect Invest’s sister company will foreclose on the property with the investors’ approval and sell it to recover your investment.

2. Cancel Your Car Insurance

You might not even realize it, but your car insurance company is probably overcharging you. In fact, they’re kind of counting on you not noticing. Luckily, this problem is easy to fix. 

Don’t waste your time browsing insurance sites for a better deal. A company called Insurify shows you all your options at once — people who do this save up to $1,100 per year. 

If you tell them a bit about yourself and your vehicle, they’ll send you personalized quotes so you can compare them and find the best one for you. No phone calls. No spam. Just happy customers (4.8 rating on Trustpilot).

Tired of overpaying for car insurance? It takes just five minutes to compare your options with Insurify and see how much you could save on car insurance.

3. Ask This Company to Get a Big Chunk of Your Debt Forgiven

A company called National Debt Relief could convince your lenders to simply get rid of a big chunk of what you owe. No bankruptcy, no loans — you don’t even need to have good credit.

If you owe at least $15,000 in unsecured debt (credit card debt, personal loans, medical bills, etc.), National Debt Relief’s experts will build you a monthly payment plan. As your payments add up, they negotiate with your creditors to reduce the amount you owe. You then pay off the rest in a lump sum. 

On average, you could become debt-free within 24 to 48 months. It takes less than a minute to sign up and see how much debt you could get rid of.

4. Your Income Could Unlock The Consolidation Loan Other Lenders Won’t Approve

If you make good money and pay your bills on time, getting denied for a loan feels especially frustrating. You’re trying to get ahead, not fall further behind, but traditional lenders love to fixate on credit scores and ignore the full picture.

That’s where Pennie’s network of lenders works differently. If you earn at least $5,000 a month and have a 580+ credit score, they actually factor in your income, not just your past. That means you may finally have a shot at the consolidation loan other lenders kept saying no to.

If you’re carrying $20,000 or more in high-interest credit card debt, this could be a game changer. Rates start at 5.99% APR and qualified borrowers can access up to $250,000, one of the largest amounts available anywhere. Checking your options takes just a few minutes and won’t ding your credit. And your information stays private. If you’ve been denied before, it’s worth a second look.

See what you qualify for and you could get funds as soon as tomorrow.

5. Get Paid $225/Month While Watching Movie Previews

If we told you that you could get paid while watching videos on your computer, you’d probably laugh. But we’re serious.

By signing up for a free account with InboxDollars, you could add up to $225 a month to your pocket.

Unlike other sites, InboxDollars pays you in cash — no points or gift cards. It’s already paid its users more than $56 million.

Signing up takes about one minute, and you’ll immediately receive a $5 bonus to get you started.

6. Set Up Direct Deposit — Pocket $400

When you set up an eligible direct deposit with SoFi Checking and Savings (Member FDIC), they’ll put $50 or $400 straight into your account. No… really. Just a nice little bonus for making a smart switch.

Why switch? With SoFi, you can earn up to 3.30% APY on savings and 0.50% on checking, plus a 0.70% APY boost for your first 6 months when you set up direct deposit or keep $5K in your account. That’s up to 4.00% APY total. Way better than letting your balance chill at 0.40% APY.

There’s no fees. No gotchas. Make the move to SoFi and get paid to upgrade your finances.
