I can make one recommendation, and this is something I'm currently doing myself.
You could do something on eBay or whatever to eek out another hundred bones, or you could do something for more long-term planning.
Instead of watching TV (or playing video games, as is my own case), do something to improve your knowledge or skill base. Read non-fiction books related to your education focus or industry (business & selling), take courses that focus on an area you're interested in working one day (post-degree management courses?), continue to learn.
Not only will these things improve your mind and ready you for opportunity, but they might also give you opportunities directly. When I took a single post-degree course in editing, I landed myself a job in the industry within weeks.
The sure way to boost your income is to invest in yourself. I think eBay would be a good quick-fix, but can you see yourself doing that long-term? Do you think you could become an eBay tycoon and retire early?
TV is a time-waster. Use this time to learn something to improve your worth, and the opportunities will come.
What's the worst that can happen?
So take some courses and become a voracious reader. Read one hour a day...a book a week. Within months (if not days or weeks), you will see a difference, I'm sure.
