When things are tight or otherwise, what do y'all do for extra income?
I sell unnecessary body parts.
Economize on everything, retrench, work a second (part-time) job.
I’m a purger not a pack rat but I do know people who go through their stuff & sell things on ebay.
Somebody out there will buy darned near anything.
I’m an artist, I sell my paintings
Stop spending unless it is related to survival
‘I sell unnecessary body parts.’
So the rumors of you not having a heart are true?
Great thread! I’ve been pondering this myself!
I do the same AND cut out gifts to all EXCEPT my wife and kids under 12 that still appreciate a small gift.
I traded it for a second, backup liver.
I’m with the semi-pro lion taming circuit.
A penny saved is a penny earned. I just look for free stuff and nearly free stuff and pocket the savings.
Instead of buying Brioni bespoke clothing I have to settle on Tom Ford OTR - times are tough.
Plan meals in advance based on what I had bought on sale that’s in the freezer and pantry. Since we have a garage full of a lot of things we never use we barter with folks for things we need. Also barter my stained glass work.
Since I believe you are serious, I will give you some ideas from experience. I know it is a pain, but look for a job in telemarketing. It seems there are always some telemarketing jobs available and you can work them part time. Not a lot of income, and sometimes people can be rude, but at least you are working and not living off the taxpayers. Another idea is to drive a cab, limo, or work for companies that pick up handicapped or seniors. Flexible hours. Tips are nice with the limo companies. I did most all these jobs as extra money earners when my children were in college. Not ashamed to say, I paid my way honestly.
when I spend basically only for food and ammo, it’s amazing how little it takes to get by.
I’m living off my savings until these marxists are neutralized....hopefully, November 2nd.

I do several things for ‘multiple streams of income’ as a part-time job.
I am a graphic designer by trade, so I make websites for small businesses.
I also use my gd skills (and hands) and draw/print/install full color vehicle wraps, and cut vinyl graphics.
I also am a videographer, and shoot TV commercials and do some contractual work for companies in this area.
Make sure you begin by creating a budget and sticking to it. Good luck!
