Ways to make extra money?

Not really baby related! I have a credit card that my husband does not know about, we have just resorted our finances which means I am struggling to pay off the card without him noticing the money going from our joint account. It is for £6700! 😞 I would love some ideas on ways to make extra money that I could do around the kids to help me pay this off? Ideally I need to be making a minimum of £200 extra a month to cover the monthly payments.

I don’t know any ways to make extra money but my advice would be honesty is the best policy, your husband may be upset he didn’t know about it from the off but by telling him now you could be saving yourself from all that stress to be handled alone which is no good for your mental health. If you tell him you can shoulder the burden together. £200 a month is a lot to find for one person without their partner knowing. I know if it was reversed and my husband had some money to repay I’d want to know about it to help make sure we got ontop of it but also that he was okay.

Could you try selling stuff on Vinted? It might be admin faff but have a look at what declutter items you could get rid off. Baby clobber goes well.

Vinted

I’ve made £650 from Vinted. Even though it sells for small amounts it all adds up x

Thanks everyone for the advice. I will try Vinted to sell some bits. I have also just sent him a message telling him (he is at work, works nights) I am so scared, I ran up some credit card debt a few years ago and he said it’s fine but next time will probably want to finish things. But I struggle to stop spending. What will be will be, atleast I have been honest

@Georgia thank you. I have a Jan 22 born so most is from her stuff x

This could be me that wrote this! I started digital marketing and made £2000 so far, it’s amazing and really easy. If you want info send me a message x
