Money for Nothin’ .... The Easy Way

“That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it…”– Dire Straits

Dire Straits said it best — Money for Nothin’! 🎸

A lot has changed since 1985, but one truth remains: it still feels great to earn money for doing nothing. And now, you can do it without the blisters on your fingers.

With just a little research, you can find a credit card that gives you cashback on everyday spending. Capital One is a great option, but there are plenty of others, from Chase Freedom to Discover and beyond.

The Non-negotiables

Pay off your credit card in full every month. Seriously. Every. Single. Month.

If you carry a balance, that “money for nothing” turns into “money for interest.”Paying in full means you earn rewards instead of paying for them — and you’ll likely see your credit score climb, too.

How to Turn Everyday Spending into Rewards

1. List your recurring expenses. Think: electric, rent or mortgage, water, auto, insurance, and subscription payments.

2. Set up auto-pay with your cashback card . You’re spending that money anyway — might as well earn something back.

3. Link your accounts.

   • Got PayPal? Connect it to your cashback card.

   • Use Venmo? Do the same — link it up!

And there you have it. Money for nothin’. No blisters.Just a smarter way to pay and get rewarded for living your everyday life.

Create New and Great Things — and let your money work as hard as you do.
