Whasup. It's yo boy tone jizzle in the building. Alright. I need some ideas on how i can LEGALLY make a quick grip. Bills have been killin me lately and i've been playin catch up everytime i get my work check. I need to get ahead so i can put some money aside. I'm sellin beats but i'm not really gettin much from that at the moment. What do you guys do when yall need some quick cash?
 
When shit gets bad, I start cutting shit out of my routine or making payment arrangements with some of them. Like I'd call my cable company and make a payment arrangement with them while keeping another bill current and then when shit gets better bringing them all current again.
 
What up man.I say just tighten your belt.We waste so much money everyday.Cut down on fast food if you eat it.Only go where you need to go in your car.Save your change in a jar when you go to bed.Just be real cheap until you get back on your feet,Then carry over the same behavior so that you always have a cushion.Its alot of ways to save money.Oh yeah stay away from women lol.
 
Donate Plasma. wont get you a grip, but in a pich it might help.
selling sperm will get you paid. But im not comfertable with the thought of having a kid I don't know about, so I would never go that far.

Sell shit you don't need/want, hell even stuff you dont want to sell. Gotta do what you have to.

Just gotta get creative with it.
 
First:
Pray and believe it will all work itself out......

Second:
Eliminate the things you don't need until you can afford them....

Third:
Put yourself on a budget that will allow you to save and not just make ends meet......

Lastly:
Remember what it feels like to struggle and be determined never to return to it again. But never forget what you went through! "If it don't kill you, it will only make you stronger".......

Stay up!

Imagine meeting a chick who has a kid and finding out that her kid was from your sperm sample. lol

What if you started pimpin that chick to get bread and then keeping that shit and tellin' her "Hey, you'd do it for free so why get mad you doin' it for free"? Would that be bad?

Wanna save/make money?
1.) Pawn shop some shit. You can always get the shit back, just be careful what you pawn that you might need in a critical moment

2.) Put in more time/hustle on beat selling. Even if it means you gotta cut your prices down momentarily to get back on your level (call it a sale).

3.) Hit your friends up for gas money when you go out and make 'em pop like $5 a piece....fill up your tank and pocket the rest.

4.) Panhandle in a busy, predominately white, shopping area. Just make sure it's not illegal in your state and make sure that you can dress the part. Even if you have to fake like your car's broke down and you have to get gas money to get back to (insert different state). Play the part and they'll fall for it.

5.) "Date" an ugly broad with nice ends. Usually they don't mind sharing some dough with you since no other guy will give them the time of day...you just have to pretend to care and maybe fuck them once or twice (Trojans are lifesavers in this situation, they like American Express). If she's that bad, go buy an MF Doom mask and line the eyeholes with masking tape (or drink quite a bit).

6.) Suge Knight somebody. Enough said there.

7.) Run an ebay scam. Just tell ebay your name is Habib Paladarosch from India, with a very believable accent. They'll never find you.

8.) If you happen to be homies with a dirty cop with a way into the evidence locker...wait this could be a bad plot to a worse movie.
 
rambeatz a.k.a charlie hustle

First get yo pride off yo shoulders and get your hustle ready.
get a part time job like delivering pizzas
take on call for a company that has somebody answering phones at night
do one of those work from home jobs in your spare time like mailing and stuffing envelopes.
BABY SIT yea i said it plenty of peeps want to go to the club. you dont need to if you trying to save scrilla
STOP driving places locally ...catch the bus or walk
save them pennies cuz it works.
set up pay arraingment with all your bills year round.. it may be a lil higher but it will balance out in the winter months

donate plasma
check the local college they offer money for participants in experiments

sell stuff on ebay you would be suprised
cut grass...big money maker there
dont know how old you are but get a night job as a bouncer @ the tata spot


I know you like dam some of that is outrageous or bebeath me but feel me on this i have done it all and it all works. f**k pride get paid legally

I make good money now but i still have 2 hustles on the side to suplement the income. always keep a hustle even when you are doing good
 
Yo it all comes down to your resume and what you can do . so what do it look like?
 
A lot of what was said above is good advice. I have donated plasma and blood in the same day, I have sold stuff to the pawn shop, I have turned off my cable and internet, I've started grocery shopping instead of eating a lot of fast food, I've picked up second jobs, I've taken in room mates to split the bills.....I'm just letting you know that I and a lot of these other cats have been where you are right now. I hope some of our advice works for you. There are a couple of places you can probably get hired with right now on Tobacco Rd in Augusta, MeMe's Pizza and First China Garden.
 
See tone, you're a younger cat so it's good that you're goin' through this now and not later. You're kind of expected to go through shit like this at your age so it's not a bad thing. You go through it so you know what it's like and how to hustle so it doesn't happen to you again down the line.

But in all seriousness...first things first man is look at your job schedule. Yeah it might suck at first to work 2 jobs, but you have to remember that the 2nd one is temporary and it's going to a good cause...you.

Jug mentioned roommates, but I don't suggest that except as a last resort type thing because roommates can be a blessing and a curse at the same damn time and they're sure to drive you absolutely nuts.

I would also strongly recommend cutting back on some of the bills and conserving energy while you're at it. Like cutting off the a/c at night when you're asleep or having the cable cut off for a little while to save you some ends. Also if you make payment arrangements on some of the utilities (the ones that let you anyway) you'll be able to pay them back in full later. BTW I don't know if you hit the dollar stores for everyday items like food/kitchen utilities and bathroom stuff like toothpaste, deodorant and toiletries like the such, but if you don't you might wanna think about that...even after you get out of your tight situo. Most dollar store food tastes just like the grocery store shit without the brand name or it is brand name just in smaller sizes.

If you smoke or drink heavily...might wanna chill on that for a lil while. Packs of cigs can empty your wallet quick (and this is coming from a non-smoker who's married to a smoker).

Pawn shop is another option. You never know how much you don't miss something once it's gone homie. Sounds fucked up to say that but sometimes the shit is true. I remember when I pawned off my palm pilot for $50 bucks once. Then I noticed I didn't care if I got it back because I didn't really use it as much as I thought I did. People in general tend to buy a LOT of shit they really don't use on the regular so when it's gone it's no sweat.
 
Im tryna cop grip up myself im need 115$ i have no job because 2 felonies right now, (probation will clear them via DEJ), ummm, i get 5 dollars for lunch and got 14 days left so that abouts..70$...ummmmy ideas are sell shit, got some games ? go to EB games and sell em cuzz they aint makin you money sittin on the shelf, hmmm, house invasion is risky and sometimes you dont get good shit and plus its...ILLEGAL...so you know, but if you want an illegal list holla at me..haha

Whasup folks. Sorry i didn't get to reply sooner. I didn't get on the internet at all yesterday. I had to go to another church program with my pastor. I met alot of new musician friends man. We jammed for a good minute after church. Anywayz, i appreciate the ideas yall have given me. Some of them make me laugh tho!! I've thought about getting a second job but i wanna start school in august and i won't be able to fit it into my schedule. I have no clue what to sell because i need almost everything i got. I've sold stuff before so i've pretty much got rid of all the junk i don't need. For a long time now, i've been thinkin if i just came up with a good invention to sell on ebay, i'd have some excellent side cash. I don't know what's hot on ebay besides music equipment. I thought about makin my own soundsets and selling them on ebay. After i get my degree, i'm gettin a job and movin out. Yep i'm still at home with my mom. I've had opportunites to move out but my dad left when i was 14 and my grandma moved in so i didn't want to leave my mom and grandma hangin. I'm going to either go to school for another position at my current job, or i'm going to school for x-ray technology. Either one, i'll start at 27,000 or more. Not a whole lot, but alot better than 10,000!!

That's exactly what i'm doing now. I buy about 50-60 bucks worth of groceries(healthy food) and don't eat fast food but like once a week. I lose weight and keep money at the same time!

Hey tone, since i see your strugglin so much, imma send you 1 million dollars to get back on your feet. Check your pm.

Oh snap cuz. I appreciate that man. It ain't that much, but it will help a little bit. LOL. I'm jus messin wit ya jug. I did that.
 
def. try to get a second job or third job..and friend of mines sister goes to school and work 2 jobs.. everyone else gave you some good points..

back in the day i use to bootleg CDs.. sellin them to the bootleggers cause i could download them before they could get it.or i would take request and burn what every ablum people want $5 a pop.. was making $150-200 a week doin just that..then i got into makin blended mixes for people for 10$ a mix cd, and stuck with that for a minute that was a good $50-100 a week..

I down recommend the downloading thing any more..but i damn sho nuff miss that money..LOL

mixes are nice cause you can mix up the songs they lick and work on skills, also you can alway through one of your songs on there when they say you can put whatever as long as it hott..

just some other things to think about..the 2nd job is also good for a good work history..i used to to part time security whe i was stationed in Jacksonville, Fl ..real easy work..and you get a state license..unarmed or armed guard..
 
Any faith I had remaining in humanity has been totally desecrated and/or destroyed by this thread.
 
you can make some money by ordering stuff off the internet and selling them in your town.. I make a nice chunk of change doing so... I go to www.etronics.com in the car audio section, and buy 10-15 different subs' per week and pocket a few hundred... this may sound strange, but I also started selling these airsoft guns around here. I found a website that sold them for like $8 each, minimum $100 purchase (wholsale), and I sell them for each for $30. There's many ways to make legal money, you just got to look at any possibilities.
