Updated on April 8, 2015

Unless you were born into money,all of us have been down on our luck and broke and need cash til the next payday.

How do you get it? Here are ideas and how they work and how to use them.

Pawn Shops cash loans

Pawn Shops Loans are collateral Loans.You have something of value that you can live without til next payday? Some items they would take Gaming systems,Tools,jewelry. These Loans can be for one day up to one month.There is an extra charge for Loan usually it is a percentage,such as;if you pawn Xbox 360 for 40 you have to pay 50-60 to get it out of pawn.This added cost stays the same for the.month even if you pick it up the next day. Although this is not the best cost-effective route,in an emergency it might be the only option you have.The pawn shops Know you are desperate, this is what keeps them in business.Very Important make sure you pick up before the month is over otherwise it becomes theirs.



Craigslist

So we all have extra stuff around that we don't need.Craigslist is a great place to sell your stuff and get cash quickly.But to insure that you will get it as quickly as an hour,you need to drop your price down to give The buyer a great deal ,they will jump on It. Also make sure in your posting that you let the prospective buyers know that you need to sell in an hour, that you will not hold.Make sure you put "first caller gets it".Yes "caller" Put your Phone Number,no time for email tag.If you Feel uncomfortable giving out your Phone Numher,no problem. All You have to do is download a texting app on your phone,like text now.There is a Calling option on text now you need WiFi to use this app.

Also with craigslist they have a great section."items wanted" search all postings do you have something that Someone is looking for?@ Call or Email them right away.


Churches

Don't belong to a church, that's okay.

Some Churches have financial help available to help those in need.They Can help with Gas,Electricity payments, if you are in risk of being disconnected. Emergency heating oil.Churches Also usually have a food pantry setup.Look in your phonebook and call and explain your situation and they will have you go to the church office. They Have gas vouchers that you will take to the gas station that is setup with the church.



Town welfare

Every town office has a welfare director.Town welfare can help with transportation costs.(gas),For you to go to and from your place of employment. You have to fill out application, sometimes available online. Then go to the town office and meet with the welfare director. She Will calculate and.see if you are approved for help.This will take about 20 minutes.Once that is done then she will issue gas voucher.The town welfare has a set limit that varies by town. Town can also help with utilities,food,medicines,and clothing.

The town can also help with "First months rent." when moving to a new apartment.This is a longer process and landlord needs to accept this payment.Also landlord needs to fill out Paperwork.

Family and Friends

Ask for Help

We all have those times when we are broke and out of options, and need to turn to family and friends for help.These people that are most closest to us are a great support team.Before you let pride stop yout from asking for help,stop and think,would you help them out if they needed you? Family and friends can loan us money without paying back more money than we borrowed (in most situations) If something happens and you cannot repay them when you have liked to, family and friends will be understanding and you will not lose items or have added fees.

Western Union

Does your Family live states away?Do they live in Tennessee,and you live in New YorK?

Western union allows you to send and receive money in minutes. You can use Western Union in many locations including Wal-Mart, and Walgreens.There is a small fee for sending and it does not cost to receive.
