Default Re: Could you come up with an extra $600/mo?

A couple of things I would consider:

- Join a reputable network marketing company (won't plug any, but I can give suggestions if interested)

- Take a loan from your 401(k) (better to pay interest to yourself than the card company)

- Acquire a piece of real estate (I have done no money down deals and came up with more than $20,000 right away)

- Start an internet business (A website with some interesting information and affiliate links could add up to some nice change, especially if you make a list of everyone you know and tell them what you're doing so they visit your site and do all of the free trials)

I'd love another $600 a mo! Who wouldn't!

I agree I'm a bit leary about donating blood... I don't want to be poked if I don't need to be KWIM? But I supposed if I was in a jam I would do what needed to be done for a few extra $, legitimatly of course.

I wish collecting cans was easier like it was when I was a kid. That's how my mom got her extra $ was by dumpster diving and scavenging for cans. However these days most people leave plastic bottles on the ground not alluminum cans

I have plenty of aluminum cans but driving all the way to the next county to sell them, doesn not make any money with the cost of gas.
