If you needed to make A LOT of money right away, what would you do?

[MnFats]

only legal means, please.
just curious.

1. sell your kidneys on eBay.

I'll give you half. :)

[Allenberg]

2. Go back to selling insurance

or sell secrets to certain foreign nations. :hide:

3. Sell my car maybe

In a pinch I could do without it.

Actually if I even thought about it my Dad'd just find me some work and overpay me. He's kind of annoying that way.

4. Cash in my 401(k)

Not that I recommend it, but if I needed a lot of instant money, that'd be it.

12. yeah, I forgot about that option

it would be very expensive, although in an emergency there probably would not be penalties, just taxes to pay. Options like home equity loans or credit card loans would be better though.

5. can you define a lot?

[MnFats]

6. say, somewhere between 10 and 20 K.

for purposes of discussion

[AlCzervik]

7. i'd probably get a loan.

[meisje]

8. Can you define legal?

I thought it was only illegal if you get caught

9. It depends on what "need" means, and what the necessity is. Is it paying

bills, debts, shopping, helping someone; would you get reimbursed or paid back?

10. sell pencils on the street corner

[bliss_eternal]

11. Lap dance, anyone?

:P


Kidding-- :rofl:


The last time I needed a lot of money, pretty quickly I got a job waitressing. I sincerely feel that lap dancing may be slightly more honest work, given the status of most corporate restaurants. LOL!

Good luck--I hope it's not a terrible emergency and that you get the money you need, with few headaches.
