    This type of thread seems to come up every couple of weeks.

    We're in a recession, no one has money , we're all screwed, deal with it.

    Sell something. Dig out that old guitar you never play, those CDs you don't listen to anymore, or your antique toy collection. Go to the pawnshop, put an ad on local internet classifieds, or hold a boot sale in front of your house or on a busy street corner (just display the item with a big sign announcing the ridiculously low price). Price items at half of what somebody would be able to buy them for anywhere else, and you may be able to sell them within an hour or two.

    Become a street performer.
    If you can dance, play music, or tell jokes, you can probably get some cash by performing in public. But don't do this unless you are actually good at it. Put together a good act and find a place to perform. Give people a dose of live entertainment, and hopefully they'll reward you with tips.

    Cyberbegging is becoming increasingly popular, and there have been some amazing success stories, but these are the exception rather than the rule. While there are some sites on which you can beg just by putting up a brief ad, if you're looking to make any substantial money you'll probably have to build your own site and invest the time and money into it to make it successful.

    One person's trash is another's gold mine.
    Recycle. Broke because you bought too much soda? Turn the old cans into cash by bringing them in to be recycled. If you don't have your own cans, go looking for them in rubbish cans or along busy roads, especially rural roads. Call up several recyclers to compare prices. If you live in a state with a bottle or can deposit system, you may be able to get 5 or 10 US cents per container. Other scrap metals are also worth something, so if you've got a big pile of scrap in your backyard or you know of an legal dumpsite, you can pick it up in your truck and anywhere from 1 or 2 cents per pound for scrap steel to considerably more for metals such as copper or aluminum.[4]

    Fill out surveys online. Companies who want to know what’s on the minds of their customers are willing to pay for your opinion. Online surveys won’t make you rich, and won’t allow you to quit your day job, but you can make a little extra cash. When choosing between surveys, read the fine print. There is usually an asterisk near the "you won" part. This means you have to do something like buying stuff before you even get to talk about your prize. Don't fall into these sorts of traps, they're ridiculously difficult and not worth it. In general, the more companies you sign up with, the more survey requests you’ll receive in your email and more opportunity you’ll have to make money.

    Become a moving advertisement. Creative marketing companies might be willing to pay you to get their name out there. Some interesting strategies that people have gotten paid for:

    Buy some shares on the stock market.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Fool proof.

    Sell some crap. I was in the same situation a few years back and sold an old laptop and a set of alloys.

    If you're really stuck you could ask the job for a part advance, but that may leave you stuck during the following month.

    Buy some property and then sell it off for a higher price. Believe it or not, that actually is free money.

    Call yourself a wedding photographer, spend 5 grand on camera gear via credit card, it's a month, so that's a minimal potential of 8 frantic brides that forgot to hire a photographer, 2000 a day = €16,000, sell the camera gear off again on adverts = about 3000 back... €14,000 profit for pressing down a button for a few days... Easy!



















    :pac:

    1.Buy cigarette "blanks", you can buy them online.

    2.Buy some rolling tobacco.

    3. fill the blanks with tobacco.

    4. sell them.

    I've been thinking of doing this for a while. I'm not sure how many cigarettes i'd get out of a pack of rolling tobacco though.

    Is that legal? :pac:

    Buy yourself a pressure washer or something and go around spraying patios, cars, bins etc. Or get a lawnmower and do people's gardens for them.

    I'd say you'd get about 10-15 cigarettes out of apack of rolling tobacco (roughly, been a very long time since I last smoked rollies). How much does the tobacco cost these days? And the blanks?

    I'll be honest, I'm not seeing huge profit margins in this venture.
