[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 2402634, member: 52145"] when things were slow everything I did was under the table. mowing, shoveling snow, selling stuff on craigslist that I got free from craigslist . child-care was fairly lucrative. you can get 70-100 a day for watching a kid. dog walking you can get 15-20 dollars for a 45 minute walk , ride-sharing for gas money, the opportunities are almost endless for extra income. barter is good also. you can do the above things in exchange for auto repairs , small home repairs , landscaping , or a hundred other things. when we respond to an ad on craigslist for a free item , we also ask if they have anything else they wanna get rid of like books , magazines , old rusted tools or machines that don't work. Also ask what kind of work do they do. maybe you can exchange services. A guy gave us a Honda snowblower that worked but the augers did not turn. all it needed was a belt. these snowblowers can go used for anywhere from 800-2000 dollars around here. That guy has some bucks so he gave it to us for free. also gave us a sander, a grinder, and some other tools after we asked him about other stuff. the same goes for other free stuff on craigslist . people would rather junk something than fix or refurbish. we have gotten free washers and dryers, lawnmowers , lots of furniture that just needs to be sanded down and re-stained , and lots of stuff that just needs a little patience to fix and restore. another great idea is go to a garage sale at the end of day. people will sometimes give you the leftovers for free rather than a trip to the dump or goodwill. after awhile you learn what is worth taking and reselling on craigslist or ebay. this is just a hobby for us but it is so much fun. usually it's only a couple hundred a month but it can be much more depending on the time we put in. our best month was 7000 dollars but that was very unusual. we could easily make 1000-2000 extra a month if we really worked at it but it is mainly for fun and travel money.
