There are times when we all need a little extra cash and getting this cash may in fact be easier than you think!

These options don’t however include borrowing money. Many of us fall pray to credit cards and loans. However spending money that isn’t ours isn’t the best option and can in fact result in paying off more in the long run.

There are other answers to making a little extra pocket money and none of these options require you to work more hours or give up your social life!

One such option is to sell any old and unused mobile phones you may have lying around. You will be surprised to learn that most of us in fact have not just one but several old unused phones lying around the house. Whether they work or not, recycling an old mobile phone can often get you far more money in your pocket than if you were to sell it. Some sites will even pay out nearly as much as you paid for it in the first place.

As well as selling or recycling phones, there is also car boot sale. All those bits and bobs you have lying around your garage may not be of any use to you; they could however be exactly what someone else needs!

If you can’t quite make it to a car boot sale, why not try placing a few ads on an online auction. You will be able to upload both a picture and a little information about the product in question and will get a hit if any one takes an interest!

These are only the few of the things that can turn your unwanted items into much-needed cash!
