20. Ask Your Boss For More Work
If you have a good job, and you do not want to add on a second side-hustle, you may want to see if there is any chance that you could make more money. Explain to your boss that you are trying to make more money in order to buy a house, and ask if there are any opportunities for growth in a new position. Or, try to see if there is opportunity for overtime hours.

More often than not, your boss will be happy that you are asking about other opportunities at the company, instead of demanding a raise or trying to leave. As long as you approach them in a professional manner, it should be a positive experience. However, if you are met with any kind of hostility, or a flat-out refusal to give you any kind of assistance, you need to really take that into consideration. Are you happy at your current salary? If they are refusing to budge, or making false promises, you may need to look for a new job.
