$$ Ideas on getting extra cash $$

[Ir0n PhReAk]

As some of you know I recently got a DUI. On top of the fines I am about to get I will also have to come up with a hefty amount of loot to pay for a lawyer. On top of all that I am going through a custody battle and am already paying for a lawyer for that and am about to start paying child support as well as some backpay child support as I didn't always write checks.

I make around 31k a year. Approx. $1700 a month. My monthly bills look like this:
Car payment: $380
Car payment: $150
Insurance: $130(about to sky rocket no doubt)
Doctor bills: $100
Charge card: $100
Misc bills: $120
Gas: $80
Gym fees: $60
Supps: $100
Weekend spending $240/month (this will obviously be cut)

I have a nice build and a good connection for roids but am kinda nervous about selling. I'm already in enough legal trouble obviously and had a close call several months ago with a package. Also I don't wanna risk getting locked up and have to go w/o seeing my son. But I think if I'm smart I would have a good chance of being a low key dealer for a few months to get me out of my financial debts. I'm sure someone will mention stripping. I don't wanna do that as I'm not cut enough and don't really have the confidence. I don't really have the time for a part time job as my evenings are usually spent with my son and at the gym. Anybody have any advice? I have a lot of bills, nothing outrageous just lots of small shit I've been paying on forever.(mostly due to not paying and what I do pay only covers the interest that they charge)

Do you know how to play the guitar??

Posting on a chat board that you are thinking about becoming a dealer is not the first step I would of taken, but then again, I eat paint chip stew every morning for breakfast.

How about escorting?
How about a driver for escorts?
How about bodyguard jobs?
How about being a waiter at a male dance club?
How about being a male dancer?
How about that?
PeAcE!

dealing will only add to your troubles, but do what you must.

personally you say you go out on the weekends, why not go out get your bartending lic. and do that 2 nights a week. Would earn you about 700 bucks cash, and so much safer than dealing.

Male Stripper or campus model. You will be up in all dat bling bling cha-ching-ching.

I notice you have 2 car payments listed.

Do you need 2 car payments?

great ideas so far, never thought about being a waiter at a male revue club, I don't even mind showing some skin just can't dance.
I may put in apps at some strip clubs to be a weekend bouncer, I've heard they make good money if its a nice club.

HI- Is that $700 per week or month? Only problem with that is I kinda need the money really quick and don't have time to get a license.

Havoc- I eat paint chip stew every morning too! Got any good recipes for that?

Get rid of car 1 - 380 savings. Go to the Y/lower cost gym to work out - 30 savings. Stop buying supps - 100 savings. Go from $60 to $15 per weekend -- read a book, rent a video or something -- 160 savings.

There's $670/month in savings right there.

The $150 payment is for a car I totalled a couple years ago. That payment will hopefully been paid off soon. I'm telling you guys I have some bad luck and when it hits it all hits at once.

Damn Machine! If I list my bills will you tell me where I can save??

My brother had that same thing happen to him...he had to roll it into his current loan so he ends up paying like $400 for a '82 Chevy with 150,000 miles....

I'm suprised no one has said you should suck cock for cash yet. It's always one of the standard replies to these types of threads.

Don't know the equity situation on your good car, but if you have some positive equity, look at combining the two loans into one for a lower cost.

Call the Doctor's office to see if you can negotiate a lower payment. Cite financial difficulties. They usually will work with you and not report you to credit agencies. You can try the same thing with the credit cards. They may report you however.

In fact about the whole car thing. You may want to consider selling it all together and getting something really inexpensive right now. You insurance is going to be upsurd. If you have a cheaper car that is paid for, you can more than likely drop to liability insurance versus the full coverage you are required to carry now.

Simple fact is you may need to eliminate things you like to do to make it through this time. Give up on the going out on the weekends and get a part time job. The bartending suggestion is a good one for cash.

Wodin,

I just assumed he was doing that anyway.

Currently sucking coke for cock bro, no more room for sucking anything else bro.

I'm not laughing at this situation in no way! That's got to suck though!

You ain't kidding. I did want to move out this Spring/Summer. Looks like thats not going to happen. Hopefully I can find something to do to make some quick cash and get these lawyers/bills/fines paid.

I thought I already did that?!?

Reducing expenses is the easiest and most immediate way to increase cash flow. Gotta cut deep in times of need. I agree that you should sell your car too. There are plenty of nice cars to be had for under $350/mo. You can go get a brand new Saturn on lease for a little over $150 mo. Maybe not ideal, but your situation is not ideal either.

Did some checking with friends on the bouncer thing. They said most clubs around here require a military background, have you guys heard of this?

 

[georgie24]

on top of my full time bank job i still manage to work part time and rake in an extra 180-240 bucks a week (time and a half on sundays is kewl)

 

[SofaGeorge]

Bro, I'm going to give it to you straight and don't be offended by this -

You've got to grow up and stop being stupid. You've got child support payments coming and you are out getting a DUI and considering dealing illegal drugs for extra cash? (And totally a car that you still have to make payments on tells me you weren't insured.)

You have gotten yourself into a long term situation situation by not thinking and not thinking ahead. You need to sit down and make a plan for your life. Decide where you want to be a year from now, five years from now, ten years from now, and 20 years from now. Then you are going to have to figure out how to get there.

Life without serious job skills is a losing proposition. You need to get whatever schooling you are going to need so that you can embark on a real career... and then you are going to have to look at applying yourself long term.

If you need to go to school nights you are going to need to go to school nights (and weekends.)

The bottom line is you have a kid coming. Your time of being a kid is over.

you can expect your car insurance to at least double. i had a dui when i was 17 and i had to spend a fortune for about 3 years.

how old are you?
