A working dad, starting a long journey to reach FIRE, contentment, or both.
Those of you who work 40 or more hours per week probably don’t have a lot of time to try to make extra money, especially if, like me, you have a spouse and children who would like your attention after work. But what if, for a little amount of time invested, you had a chance to win money, with no risk on your part?
Enter the new genre of app: the live streaming trivia app.
If you are busy working a full-time job, you probably don’t want to have to deal with programs that require a lot of your time and attention. No, you, if you are like me*, you prefer programs that you can set and forget and then use to make money. To that end, I would like to introduce you to DOSH.
In trying to earn some extra money on the side, I have tried many different programs and apps, many of which promise a monthly payment if you jump through their hoops. Now, some of these have lived up to their word and paid consistently for months or years. Others have done okay for a time, then disappeared. But one of the worst experiences I have ever had was with an app called, ironically, Smart App.

If you haven’t already used Uber as a much better alternative to renting a car (and paying a bundle) or taking a taxi (and paying an uber-bundle), you’re missing out on an easy ride process. Through Uber’s app, you simply schedule a ride and watch your driver’s progress as they head toward your location. Then, you simply get to your destination, and your payment is automatic. You can now even leave a tip for your driver through the app, if you are so inclined.

But now, there is extra incentive to book through Uber, thanks to our friends at Ibotta, the shopping rebates app that has saved countless people millions of dollars.
Bonus: Sign up for Ibotta by clicking here and get a $10 signup bonus!
Now, all you have to do to save money on your ride is to use the link to Uber in the Ibotta app when you want to book, and, provided you take your trip in three hours (which shouldn’t be a problem), you will be credited for $1 per ride. Per Ibotta, that’s $1 for every ride you take.
So…simply find the Uber rebate in the Ibotta app, click the pink “shop” button, schedule your ride, and you’re off. The $1 will be added to your Ibotta account automatically. Since you only need $20 to cash out, you can reach that pretty easily via Uber rides, even if you don’t get grocery rebates.*
This offer, per Ibotta’s site, is good until September 7. Don’t miss it!
