[quote:warriorsbond:MV8xOTA1ODEyXzMxODY1MzgyX0U0QkVBRUE3] I have done this for a little extra each month. havent in a while though. I would pay for smallest storage unit in a nice fenced place. At the end of the month when they cant afford the place they dump their stuff in the dumpsters. mostly nice stuff that can be sold on craigslist. I kept the bulk though like bed plastic storage shelves household goods as I had nothing. That said in an apartment building same thing at end of month usually someone has to move or being evicted. so usually everything goes. If your lucky and have a truck this works well to take to storage unit. I have not done this but it is workable. Go to the animal control place and go through their trash. sometimes you can get some really nice kennels to sell. I would prob do this at night after they close. not sure if its illegal on taking the trash or not though.might check. usually they have tons of stuff they throw out from donations. which can be sold on craigs list etc. another way to get stuff to sell would be from a free give away you have to find those online. they usually ask you to not sell it. but most do. I was rather good at collecting cans from dumpsters. this is a good alternative and can feed you if you are persistant and dont mind three hours hard work a day. its last ditch effort but like said worth it. I made about ten a day. which fed me nice. I made a can grabber from a old broom head and used a metal skewer for bbq's bent into hook and duct tape to end of stick. this is great for moving the bags. offering on craigs list for odd jobs like mow lawns or moving trash or detailing cars is great too. or browse sometimes peeps need help moving and offer cash. or sometimes trade. like for stuff you need like a new bike or a tent. always look out for things that you know you can sell for higher price. romance books the thick ones new looking sell great at yard sales. sometimes you can get those by the bag at flea markets for a few bucks for the bag and resell it. jewelry if you can make it can sell but it takes a lot to invest. like buy beads and make things like boots for earings or just make flag pins out of huge safety pins. most peeps will buy those. its simple cheap and patriotic. check some stores will want peeps to put bar code stuff on small items like pens. they give you the boxes and you take it home to do. its work at home stuff. some small restaurant places will accept work under the table stuff like waitressing or bussing or painting. not all but some will. same with small hotels. see if they need help they will contract you for the day and pay you then. day labor places are hard as most who are totally unhireable like druggies or drunks work there. but be persistant and show up half hour before they open daily and they will start sending you out. you work good or have a car its a guarantee return. not great but its something. I think that is it for me. [/quote]

My contribution.
1. Go to a talent agent and get into acting, or if your acting sucks, try to get extra work. You usually get paid 50 bucks plus food /day.
Anyone else have ideas?
