Default Little ways to make money...Any ideas???

Ok I worked my last day at my lovely job and now I have to find some ways to make a little extra money to suplement my unemployment that will be coming in while I get ready for my move to Chytowne. Anyone have any good ideas???? I already sell used books thru Amazon, I plan to have a garage sale as soon as I get my stuff sorted in to take and pitch piles, but I could use some more! I now have to repay a loan I had to take from my mom to pay for the clutch that went out of my car on Tuesday, so I need a little extra income to help out with that!

TIA

Garage sales & ebay are great ways!! Also thier is mystery shopping & merchandising & demoing but those you really have to wait awhile to get paid on

Window washing and lawn mowing always brough me a bit of cash.

You might try looking into temp agencies too, especially during the summer.

I've seen a lot of ads for pooper scooper (go into backyards and rake up the poop from the dog). One person I knew who did this said they generally had more business than they could handle.

Hi~

Have you ever considered a home business? If you do your research and find a good one, you can make extra money that way. If you go that route, make sure you check it out with the BBB. Good luck!

OK I can't believe I am going to say this but... A young lady I used to know who was an... entertainer... tried to persuade me to do an all male review they had once a month. Told me I could make a 1000 bucks doing it. I actually considered it just so I could say I did it...

ebay, half.com, garage sales, taking items to consignment stores or auctions, window washing, lawn or pool care, pet sitting, dog walking (or cleaning up after), babysitting or tutoring, or things like kids art lessons or another hobby you are good at, temp agency, basic home painting, any hobbies you can make money off of? Also with unemploymeny, at least in PA you can make a certain amount of money still while on it, you could find something part time maybe? GOOD LUCK!

I think in OK you could make $100/week. Anything over comes out of your weekly unemployment check. Unemployment was $280/week (before taxes).

If you do decide to do it, makes sure to take photos and post them here so we can give you a review of your performance

Perhaps we should not focus so much on earning money and start looking to do the things that don't cost money. Maybe our stress levels will decrease. After reading this through that is what I am going to try and do. Money is just too much trouble. I am going for a walk after my morning internet browsing and then exercise with my daughter using rocks in the yard for weights and enjoy my last week with her before school starts. I don't care to spend money right now.
