Hi there, welcome to Creating Xtra
I’m so glad you found your way here!
I’m Mariska, the creator behind CreatingXtra, a space dedicated to helping you save more money than ever with all kinds of savings challenges.
Whether you’re looking for ways to save, want to tackle debt or turn your side hustle ideas into reality, you’ve landed in the right place.
Why I started this blog
Let’s face it, life is expensive, right?
My husband and I have been there, struggling to make ends meet, make payments on debt and still have enough left over to enjoy life with our kids. We knew there had to be a better way and I was determined to find it!
With more side hustle ideas than I could ever try myself (seriously, my brain never stops), I wanted to create a place where I could share these ideas with you.
I want to help you save more, spend wisely and get rid of debt so you can live a life of freedom and flexibility.
What you'll find here:
On CreatingXtra, you’ll discover practical tips, step-by-step guides and creative resources to help you:
- Save money with fun savings challenges and budgeting tricks that don’t feel like a sacrifice.
- Start a side hustle that works – because I’ve tested out a lot and share what really helps bring in extra income.
- Pay off debt faster than you thought possible, with strategies to help you stay on track.
- Plan ahead for the things that matter – like family trips, the holidays and even hobbies.
I’m passionate about making this journey fun and doable for everyone. Here you’ll find actionable advice that you can start using today.
My vision for the future
I’m not just here for the short term, my goal is to grow CreatingXtra into a thriving community of people who are taking charge of their futures. I started with the dream of earning $1,000 a month from this blog and now I’m on a mission to grow it to $5,000+ a month, all while hopefully inspiring YOU to do the same!
I also want to show you that it’s possible to build a life where you can spend time with your family, work from home and take vacations when you want.
