In case you hadn’t noticed already (in which case, you’re clearly not an adult yet), life can be a total d**k sometimes and none more so that leaving you up s**t creek without a dollar to buy a paddle. One minute you’re looking at your bank balance and you’re okay with what you’re seeing and the next you’re having to shed out for a new washing machine, find a way to buy three new tires for your car and pay a speeding fine that you’re not even sure was your fault.
Basically, we all have those moments where we are in a bind and need to find a fat wad of cash fast. It’s not ideal, but it’s life and that is what makes it as inevitable as it is unavoidable.
It’s also the reason we have pulled together a list of ways you can get your hands on some cash the next time you are in a pinch, no matter how big or small that pinch may be.
- Drive Out of Trouble
If you’re willing to put in some hours in order to get a nice cash reward, then we recommend you rush to either Uber or Lyft because these guys offer a great opportunity to make some fast bucks, even if it’s as a side hustle. Sure, you need a clean license, a fairly new car and authorization to work in your area. But if you have all these things, wow, you can make money whenever suits you – midday, midnight, whenever.
- Sell Your Stuff On FB
Once upon a time we would have said, “sell your stuff on Craigslist or Amazon”, but unless it is old books you are trying to cash in on, Facebook Marketplace is the place to go. Old electronics can fetch a pretty penny, the trampoline your kid never uses, those heels you haven’t worn since you were 19 and foolish, your old clothes, anything and everything. Come on, you have clutter you don’t want or need, so why not make a little bit of money from it.
- Need A Lot Of Money
Sometimes, just sometimes, a little bit of extra cash won’t cut it, which is when you may need to go full hog and learn how to sell your house fast or know what little improvements can add a lot to your car’s worth and thus maximize the amount you get. Most people look at these big sales as being time-consuming and lengthy but know how to bag a quick sale and you could be laughing off all your money troubles by the end of the week.
- The Personal Training Boom
People have become hooked on all things health and fitness like never before in history. A couple of generations ago and microwavable meals were all the rage, now it’s healthy living and that’s why PT’s get paid so lucratively. It’s that idea of having someone that can keep them on track with their fitness goals and all you need is a little understanding of how health and fitness works. Other than that it’s just a matter of motivating others.
