Extra Money?!

[Wapadi]

I second the sell rats. We are building another rack as I type this. The rats in this state are worth their weight in gold!

Genetically modify your snakes to :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: gold pellets.


Problem solved.

You can donate white blood cells. It takes about 4 hours and pays like 350. Not sure how often you can do it but I would assume it would be safe to donate at least once a month....

I need to find out where to donate white blood

Ha I wanna know them too! I don't get fun things often. Mike we could start a very classy jigglo company very high class tasty stuff with large price tags!

Lmao!!!!! "tasty" stuff???? hmmm.......that could go soo many ways!! And Mikey, I got two words for ya....TAX RETURNS. That's usually how I add new animals to my collection. And what about breeding? Are you producing yet? That's how a lot of people add new babies to their collection....by makin their own! Perhaps you could do a breeding loan with someone too? That's a low/no cost option too. Maybe someone out there will want to breed with ya.

"Extra" money seems to get spent pretty quickly. Save receipts and track your everyday expenses for a week to see where it all goes, and where you can potentially cut back. Some quick ideas:
- Do you smoke? Quit. Even a pack a day is what, $5-6 now? Almost $200 a month.
- Do you go out drinking/partying every weekend? Those cover charges add up, never mind the drinks.
- Do you go out for lunch if you're working full time? Brown-bag leftovers.
- Speaking of leftovers, do you cook your own food, or do you buy pre-packaged "heat & eat" meals?
- Do you buy specialty coffee, or food/drinks from a vending machine? Yeah, it's only a couple of bucks... every day... but over a month it adds up.
- Do you buy bottled water? Get a filter and use your own bottle.
- Are you clipping coupons and shopping sales at the grocery store?

Then there's the monthly bills. Obviously some are fixed (rent/mortgage, electric, water, gas) though you can save a bit by conserving. That leaves phone, cell phone, CATV, and internet. Look at your plans and see if you can get by with less minutes or even dump the service entirely. We ditched CATV for NetFlix (cartoons and movies), and news we can find online. Instant savings $90/month. Same for the cell phone - do you use all your minutes? After realizing we had thousands of rollover minutes we changed plans to one with fewer minutes and the bill went from $95 to $55 BUT our phones are used very minimally.

I think you're not getting a lot of serious responses here because people don't want to say that they:

1. Have a lot of credit card debt.

2. Spend their kids' college funds.

3. Spend the money they originally planned to use for things like retirement, vacations, fixing the house.

4. Bail on other hobbies to sell them off and put the money into this one.

5. Spend their college loan money and live off ramen noodles.

^ Nailed it. There are also those pesky 0% financing checks from my credit card company...

I have a $25/wk fund. It doesn't get me too horribly far, but it should get me three new 2 gene snakes for breeding next year.

My husband has a fund too for the same amount. As much money I spend on snake stuff, he spends on WoW TCG cards and board games.

I work in a storage warehouse. Just like storage wars. I have gotten good at selling abandoned goods on craigslist and ebay. I'm working on selling off the last of the Mary Kay lipsticks someone left behind. That made me a few hundred.

I had my first taste of ticket scalping when we bought extra Blizzcon 2013 tickets. That $200 profit was enticing.
