The ways to generate income multiply. From bare ownership with the house to renting our assets, there is more room to cover expenses. Saving is another of the legs to get ahead. Like embracing the second hand, each time with more momentum. And for conservatives you can also aim for the best paying jobs.

Search everywhere. When the salary does not arrive, it is necessary to look for alternatives. Or touch expenses or add income. Lately there is more than one way for the latter. Bare property re-emerges in Spain. Fixed income without giving up your home. Living on chattel income is also possible. "I get more than a thousand euros a month renting my motorcycles," explains Yago, a user of platforms that allow it (Podcast).

Long live the second hand. With everything so expensive, does what we buy have to be new? The need to save and greater awareness drive the purchase of used. Digital platforms make it easier than ever. On average one can spend up to 378 less per year opting for this route. The same thing happens with mobiles: refurbished ones are cheaper and are making their way.

aim well. Employment makes a difference. If you want to aim high, these are the highest paid positions according to official data. Energy and finance set the pace.

Be careful when traveling. To make matters worse things can get complicated. The toll mess continues and Brussels reminds Spain that by 2024 it has promised to return to charging on the main highways and highways. And when we take a plane, everything can also go wrong. The list of airports that give the most problems in Spain in summer attests to this.

The Supreme Court has overturned the obligation to submit the income statement by electronic means (web, telephone...). The role that had been forgotten and that many taxpayers preferred will return to the scene. All the facilities to comply with the process.

There may be fewer surprises in the Ibex 35. We started with elections and ended with them. Pulling from the newspaper library, normally the day that follows the elections is negative. So if things turn red, don't panic.
