Money makes the world go round. That Cabaret song has a lot of meaning to it. We all need it to survive, and want more of it to have a good time. That’s a fact. However, this means we need to work. Sometimes, working all day with very little play thrown into the mix can leave you feeling low. What’s a human to do when they can’t even conjure up enough money for a well drink and a cookie at happy hour on a Friday night?
Luckily, with the help of creativity and the prospect of freshly pressed notes taking up much needed space in the wallet, there are solutions. Below is a list of the most weird and wonderful ways for you to earn fast money, without having to do a lot of work at all:
1. Get Cash For Your Trash.
No joke, this isn’t a rubbish suggestion. Game Shop trade allows you to trade broken and used games and electronics, giving you some much needed fast money. From Wii games you had when you were 14 to old mobiles, there will be something in everyones room that will be worth a penny or two.
Sell A Body Part.
No, before you stop reading, I’m not talking limbs and organs. That wouldn’t be legal either, surely. However, it is legal to sell your plasma. In the USA, you can earn up to $35 for donating it twice a week. That’s $280 extra a month for a bit of plasma you won’t even know is missing.
3. Part With Your Rapunzel-Like Locks.
Selling your hair may sound a little scary, but you can keep some back – honest. On Buy And Sell Hair (literally, a market where people buy and sell hair), you can earn up to $800 dollars for your luscious locks. The longer your hair, the more money you are likely to sell it for. Start eating plenty of Vitamin B and that fast money can come your way in no time.
4. Make Use From That Spare Couch.
Having a lodger coming to stay with you is not only a fun way to meet new people, but the chance to make use of that spare room/ couch and earn some dollar from it. Okay, so if you live in a tiny little village in No Mans Land, this option might not get as many willing participants to want to stay. However, if you live in a big city, then you are really onto something. Craiglist and Airbnb are brilliant ways to find travellers looking for somewhere to stay. You might even make a friend in the process.
