Suggestions by Income Level

High income - become a venture capitalist; invest in entrepreneurs, give seeds to the poor, teach an adult to read in an adult literacy program.

Average income - work within walking distance of your home: part-time job or self-employment.

Low income - start a highly profitable business, save every penny, invest wisely, marry money (good luck with that), grow a vegetable garden, sew your own clothes from patterns, take classes, make money off your leisure pursuits or hobbies, sell expensive-to-maintain assets.
