I need money, quickly and legally... :(

jill_valentine

Now, I know, I know. You think those two things are mutually exclusive. But that just means you've underestimated just how little concern for my own dignity or personal safety I really have.

The Medical Test thread looked promising there for a bit, but then it tailed off, and after that, I'm all out of insanely dangerous short-term plans for cash. You guys look desperate and poor, what do you suggest?

Em don't you think if we are desperate and poor we aren't the people to ask about making money? *subscribes to thread to learn the secret of moneyz*

Desperate and poor are surely not the people to ask? Quit the medical testing sharpish.

jill_valentine

I was hoping some be-suited guru might swing by, Brian, and give us a helping hand. You know, pay their dues to the little people.

And hey, maybe you're desperate and poor for a reason, you know? You might not have started out that way. Maybe you had your glory days and blew it all on gold plating your furniture or whatever. I want to stop short of the gold plating stuff. I just want an Xbox.

Is that so much to ask?

What I'm thinking of doing is buying really cheap clothes from penneys and selling them on ebay.com to the rest of the world for a profit. Dunno how well it'd work though.

It's the right time to start a pimping business, there most be loads of girls out there desperate for cash, I'd start pimpin!!

Woops didn't read the legally part.

It wasn't me!

IIRC prostitution is legal. You can't solicit in public, and it's illegal to profit from the prostitution of others (pimping's out so), but it's legal to make a living from screwing folk, so off you go.

Heard an ad on the radio the other day for a "company" (cant remember what type of company) looking for healthy non-smokers to participate in a study and theyd put ya up in a Belfast hotel and youd get paid €3,500. Id consider it meself but I cant remeber any more details.

See, I'm poor 'cause I'm a student. And I'm studying Computer Science. So this might be short sighted.

See, my regular job is paying my food and rent, just about. But my regular job is in a game store.

So you see why I'm starting to crack under the pressure of my current non-Xbox owning state of affairs...

If your dignity is not an option try the following:



Find any kind of door to door sales job. You'll find them in the recruitment section of your local paper. Alternativley look for a leafleting work.

Offer a car wash or window washing service domesticaly or to businesses.

Develop a street act that relies upon an aptitude that you have.

If you're a talented card player try your odds at poker.

Finally, invest what little funds you have in a costume, make a banner that says "will dance for money" and head into your city. Its anonymous and you may be surprised at the local reception.

You get nothing for nothing. Take part in that study and you can forget about ever getting a health/life insurance policy. Plus there a no guarantees about the effects.

Wow it took a whole minute for somebody to make the whole "sell yourself LOLZ" pathetic-excuse-for-a-joke.

The "I need money" threads have officially over-taken scumbags and Polish girls as the most rehashed topics on AH.

Ever consider getting a job? I mean a real one, not the cleaning the skidmarks off the toilets in Coppers one you currently keep yourself busy with.

Money can't buy everybody happiness. But it works for me, to be honest. Mmmmm, money.

That appears to be some sort of pyramid scheme....Have you gotten paid for it yet?

Head scarf with jingly things, gypsy skirt, cardboard sign " I will read your palm and tell you your future for €5"

Charge them the €5 and tell them they are making bad financial decisions and need to be more careful how to spend their money.

And remember, location, location, location.... oh a seriously huge hooped earings wouldint hurt;)

There are some sites where you can sell used underwear to desperate men in various parts of the world. Try finding one of them.

See? SEE? Look at that smiley. That's joy, right there.

That's the face of a man who today paid fifty something euro and got happiness in return.

Or, if he had a loyalty card, possibly a little less than that. Discount happiness. I'd like some discount happiness please. And Fable 2. I'd like that, too.

Why not ask Santa for an Xbox 360?

I had a Knorr thing, where you pour hot boiling water into it, and it's supposed to be mashed potato.

It's not.

Is this thread for real?!

You have a few choices as a student...

1. Get a different job that will pay higher and suit your timetable.

2. Spend less on food and living by shopping around.

3. Use your feckin' computer skills you're learning in college to make some money! Design a program and sell it off or design webpages.

4. Get a second job! Something with tips maybe?



Again..are you for real?

I haven't accumulated 10$ yet.


(and ive broken their site rules by making 2 accounts. Trying to turn myself in now)

Because last year I accidentally killed Santa, by mistakenly ringing the little girl the prebooked Wii was intended for instead of her mam.

That was not a fun christmas.

I just discovered a way for you to double your money. That site pays your account a cent every time one of the people you referred views an ad. Create a second account and use your first account as the referral. Solely use the second account from now on and you'll start earning a cent for both accounts whenever you view an ad.

That's amazing


There's a Fable 2?! Ok add me to the list of people who desperately want money now.

Doesn't even have to be used. Some mackerel oil pasted on will suffice though it depends on your profit margins.

Try eating tesco beans and noodles for a month and maybe you'll have saved enough (this isn't what I eat, I eat marginally worse).

Ish. I would like money. I could live without the Xbox.

As for my computer skills: I'm currently putting together an ATM programme for an assignment. It's not going well. So far, regardless of what PIN you enter, or what quantity you request, it gives you lots and lots and lots of money.

I put this down to my own subconscious wish for my own ATM to accidentally give me lots and lots and lots of money. If I had lots of money, I might be able to programme better. See, my education is at stake too...

I wonder why I never thought of that!!!!

[/Sarcasm]

That's what I did.



I just had a brainwave!!! How about you make 20 accounts and say giggsy reffered you! You'd make a lot of money and they'd think you're cool cos you broke their rules so theyd give you 3 hundred dollars.!!!!

A friend ofmine did it and It really worked!!

For €50 euro, register yourself as the Bank of Jill Valentine, then just borrow an Xbox, holiday in Qatar, combine harvester... Biffo'll have your back if ou don't feel like repaying the debt.

You could try ways of cutting down on the money you spend, like Brianthebard suggested, maybe drink cheaper drinks when you go out, walk instead of taking the bus, stop giving money to charity (if you do give money to charity).


Alternatively ask for a load of games for Christmas, not necessarily Xbox games, then sell them after Christmas and use the money from them to buy your Xbox.

Yesterday's dinner was tinned chickpeas straight from the can.

Which incidentally, means Fallout would be a bit of lighthearted escapism for me. Those guys don't know how easy they have it.

You can still get scurvy, right?

It was really, really awful.

The mam was not impressed. She yelled down the phone so loudly that passers by could hear her.

My suggestion that perhaps she should have given me her phone number instead of her kid's fell on deaf ears. Deaf, angry ears.
