Sell stuff like crazy. I admit, we're aiming to get outta debt. But we weren't so terribly bad off that we sold near everything. I've got a few things on hand that I could sell for $1000 if I needed it in two weeks, no problem. (Dh and I could share one vehicle, one of his toys could be sold, a tanning bed, a welder, some tools, etc.) I just feel like this all is extra insurance should something terrible happen. Nothing has yet, we're still able to hit about $1800 a month to debt, so feel like we're doing good enough to not sell everything but the kitchen sink.

Yep, sell stuff, get more stuff from garage sales, curbs and sell it too. I like the mowing yards idea. That is just gas and time and if you are good and have a good mower, you could make a lot in a weekend!!

ok..honestly..i could sell my old pickup truck. it only has 78000 miles on it..but i hate to drive it..i could sell a bunch of my extra things thta i dont use anymore....if i was desperate to make the money...id sell my horses and my kareoke things...(this would be only if i couldnt get the cash anyother way and it was a matter of life or death). i have a dimond ring thats not too important to me..and cds and dvds..theres alot i could sell to make money.

i dotn think i could do any job where i could earn that much in a couple weeks. but i have alot of extra stuff to sell. thats my only idea.

I agree with ebaying whatever you can (that you can part with).

Or maybe...you can find some people who work alot and offer to clean their houses/apartments (specific areas like kitchen/bath/dens only) for $40-$50/per visit (depending on your area's market). I know my sister would upfront someone $1000 if he/she would clean her place once a week for however long they agree to it. I'd put it in writing though - look at it as a loan but payments are made in labor . 2 hours (or however long it takes you to clean) per week for 20-25 weeks is doable in my opinion.

Of course, I would bring my own cleaning supplies, but use their vacuum cleaner. You can make cleaning supplies for next to nothing!

Just a thought!
