Several months ago, a friend mentioned they were donating plasma. The first thought is, do you need money?
Unless you are doing this for a specific person, nobody wants to do this for no reason. My friend has a colleague, a business owner who does well, donating plasma and has over $2K on a debit card from donations as she has a goal of buying a nice sewing machine for herself.
Depending on the plasma location you go to, they pay out different.
One location: First 5 visits are $65 each, beyond that it averages $50 per visit
Another location: First 5 visits pays out $525, beyond that its $55 per visit.
Each visit takes 45 minutes to 1 hour. Easy and you stop when you want. You can do it once or you can do it a maximum of 2x per week. On average after initial visits, regular visits pay out $420 per month.
Money is loaded onto a Visa card after the visit and it's tax-free. I have two 1-hour windows of time in my week. I grab a book, check in, get hooked up, read, then leave.
It's like Monopoly money. It's money that doesn't come out of your bank account and can be used for anything. I've told both my daughters and son-in-laws, that if they both throughout the week individually stop two times, they will have $840 extra dollars per month. It's Christmas money, vacation money, hobby money, date night money, what ever they want to use it for money. It's in excess of their income, no-guilt, buy what you want money.
Plus, plasma is used to help others.
