I was just telling a friend of mine "I hate Sam and I hate Bill." He did not know what I meant by that statement. I explained that Sam is Uncle Sam the one who takes our money for taxes and the other is Bill which is anything that you have to pay on.......a bill! Yes, we all hate Sam and Bill but what can we do about it?

There are only so many ways to make some money on the side so I will do my best not to be tagged as presenting plagiarism. You can only say certain things in a certain way so again I hope I manage this correctly.

Sell Your Blood

Place an ad for errands, laundry, yard work, or dog walking.

Have a garage sale.

Borrow against your life insurance

Pick up some freelance projects

Sell your crafts

Rent out a room

Cash in your change

Unwanted gold jewelry and old coins cashed in

Pawn your possessions

Garage Sale: I have seen over the years that what you think is nothing or no one seems to like it, well this is where you will be surprised! As it is stated "one mans junk is another mans treasure." You would be pleasantly surprised to find out how much money you could make off what you would normally just throw away as junk.

Borrow against your life insurance: Check it out, there are ways to borrow against it and basically be paying yourself back the interest your paying. You can't go wrong with this, that is for sure.

Pawn some of your items: This speaks for itself. The one good thing as I understand it is that you have a time frame to get it back but if you do not come up with the money by the time it is due then you lose the item and they then sell it and make a great profit.

Renting out a room to someone: Again, speaks for itself. If you happen to have the extra space this is a great way to bring in some extra income.

Selling your blood to a blood bank: This is one that I myself and I am sure many of you have seen in the movies. I can see how it may be something to do in a very desperate situation but if you have to sell your blood to get money for your booze to poison your blood, then I think you should not be making this choice.

Selling your crafts: I have written articles about where and how to sell your crafts. Most cities have there weekly street fair. I know just this evening my daughter came to me to say that she was heading out the door with a friend to go to the street fair. Wonderful experience so don't miss out visiting one even if you don't sell your crafts there.

Well, we have all seen the commercial about cashing in our gold. Well, this is a way to make some money from something that is going to be sitting in the drawer doing nothing so why not take advantage of its value now while it matters.

I am in Stater Bros! and the first place I stop is the cash in your coins machine. Yes, you do lose some money in the process but trust me, it is well worth it if you are in the need of some immediate cash and don't want to roll coins.

Advertise yourself for errands, laundry, dog walking, yard work or anything that you feel you are capable of.

Some people make as much as $100-$500 which depends on their aggressiveness and the opportunities available by doing odd jobs so to speak. Programming, financial, clerical or many other types of skill that are valuable to companies in need.
