Tips for finding or making extra cash?

[ashbreed]

Last few months have been pretty sh!t for me. My boss has cut down on over time which is what I used to rely on to have a life. I'm sure like most of u guys I've got a mortgage to pay n bills to go with. I'm just tired of always being skint!

Any of u guys got any tips or tricks of how to make money or generate extra cash at the end of the month? I'm sure I'm not the only person on the forum that will benefit from your guys knowledge! Just looking for options before robbing a bank! Lol!

So far I've gone through my bank statement and looked at what payments I've made that I don't. Need to make and I've canceled a few DDs and decided that I spend too much money on lunches so sandwiches are in order!

Next is going through the loft and shed lookin for stuff to sell!

Maybe a weekend job? failing that, sell and buy bits for cars, yes it can be dodgy with ebay fees, etc etc, but cant really think of anything else !

Lots of tips and tricks to help trim your expenses 

Sounds like you've already started the process though   Myself and Linzi are doing something similar; fed up of being skint at the end of every month!!

Definately sell any stuff around the house you don't need, I made loads of money selling junk from my house on e bay.  Cut down any bills that are not a necessity.

thats the first step cut out wasting money on stuff you dont need like lunch where you can take your own, ive currently stopped going out in town on a friday and wasting lots of money on drink coming up for 2 months now that i havent been out!

Although im only starting to see a slight difference but a difference non the less,

do you have any other skills that you can use to make money? or as mentioned get a second job or partime job

Could always sell drugs...or your body..

 

Best thing is what you've already started doing by cutting out any things you don't need. Then you would want to look at either an extra job or better one then your current one.

Aye me and the girl have started to make lunches now as we're trying to clear off some debt and save etc.

Only thing that ever made a difference to me was running a bar job for cash in hand when I was in college. Used to pull a Monday shift and gave me my "play" money for the week. Was a good laugh and managed to pull some shifts on the world cup games which made the working environment awesome.

Not sure I'd want to pull one now I do a long officey type job now.

thought about Drug dealing ?  can make serious money from that

if you was a DJ, you can make very strong money from this too, (if you are good)

other than that all i can say is cut down on buying junk food, beer and smoking.. look for a better job too.

You could always try mining for bitcoins if you've got a computer that doesn't get much use...

Very unlikely lol plenty good dj's don't make much money, to many people willing to play for free nowadays.
