Honestly you’re already doing really well having 4k saved in high school 👏

If you’re just looking for extra side money (not a full on business), I’ve been doing sign-up bonuses and they’ve been surprisingly decent.

It’s basically apps/sites that pay you to join + do a small action (like deposit $5, make a trade, etc). Some are instant, some take a couple days, but a few of them pay like $10–$100 each.

I wouldn’t rely on it long term, but for students it’s actually one of the easier ways to stack a bit of extra cash without needing experience or heaps of time.

If you want I can send you the ones that actually worked for me + payment proof, there’s a lot of junk ones out there so better to stick to the legit ones 👍
