Sucked Dry-Not in a good way

When extra expenses show up on your door how do you guys come up with extra cash.

Yes, yes I know hobby less often. but other than that.

What are some of your tricks to come up with extra money.

Ive done a garage sale and other things like that. What else is out there?

1. Get a second job
2. Sell something you own
3. Cut back on expenses
4. Become on male escort for gay men

I haven't tried the last one, but the first three work well

Selling your assets is a short-term answer to a long-term problem, as you'll tend to want to replace them again later and be even more in the hole.

Dave Ramsey's approach is a good one, though he will tell you to increase your income ASAP, aka another job.

If you're that tight, hobbying should probably go on the back burner anyway.

At some point, you're gonna run out of shit to sell. I would suggest spreading out your hobby experiences and taking more time to research the next provider: communicate with her a few times...build the anticipation. If you can't hobby as often, try to make the experiences you do have better.

+1 on 2nd job...

you have several choices:

become a politican and sell your soul to the highest bidder
become a bankster and foreclose on widows and orphans
become a CEO and f--- everybody

This post is lacking details. Every situation requires a different answer.

With me, first....I'm going to ask a man.
If he says no, after I delete his phone number, I'll ask my daddy.
If my daddy says no , I just go into my savings.
If it is seriously large amount of money, I'll just take out a 401k loan.
If it is an emergency (like being stranded), I'll use my credit card.


So my questions are.......
1. Do you have a job?
2. Do you have able bodied adults living in your home who don't work?
3. Can you and these moochers get a 2nd job?
4. Are you stuck up and pay for luxury BS?
5. How much debt do you have that you are unable to put any away in savings?


FYI: There are lawyers in my city who work part time at Lowe's

If you have to take out a second job you need to re-assess your life values. Everybody loves a good blowjob but that's not what makes the world go 'round. Get some perspective.

This reminds me of something I read few weeks ago on this section. Try to hobby half as much as you would like to. Seems like you hobby double the time you should have

So many people are "me" oriented these days and practice instant gratification. Ya just can't convince some folks to prioritize or keep things in perspective....too sad.....

To the OP...take a break. Get your finances in order. Take care of your "business" and when you can afford it once again, the hobby will still be here. We been around for years and are not shutting our doors anytime soon.....just ask anyone.....

The point is not how often you hobby, darling but to make your hobby experiences count.
