Side Jobs?
 
Anyone do stuff on the side to make money. I'm talking legal here. I want to do something to supplement my meager income. I need new leather and wheels on the 126. Someday I want to have a business, but I'm not sure what kind. For now I am looking for a way to make some cash. Any ideas?

Something you're good at? That's kind of a hard question for others to answer. Maybe you should get a job promoting Texas and the fact that it rules.;)

not necessarlly stuff that I personally am good at,but just good ways in general. I have a buddy that sells paper on the side he gets from Office Depot somehow. That is illegal possibly so I cant do that.

I have always had "sideline" stuff happening no matter what income level we were at.
-Ebay
-Bought a bus to take blue haired ladies to casino's
-detail cars (passed this on to son to freakin hot here)
-buy and sell cars, real estate
-bird dog on new and used cars (real decent money for no real time)

Money is lying everywhere you just have to stop and pick it up!

Up north, I used to make a few bucks buying lawnmowers at Garage sales, cleaning them up, and re-selling them.

They have grass up north?

A little info on your skill set may generate some more ideas. Personally, I would speak to Carleton about how to inherit--every other idea really is for suckers:cool::D

I know a guy who was a masseuse (he also playetd Div I football) and had a side gig pressure washing. All the sudden he pressure washed the house of a local Coca Cola bottler executive and got a contract to wash their fleet of 100 trucks. He quit masseusing and is now rolling a pretty successful bidness.

There ya go! Pressure washing. If you're not too heavy, you can make some decent money pressure washing barrel tile roofs. A pressure washer can be had at Lowe's/HDepot for around $100.

Hey man, my side gig is charging a percentage of what he is going to make --stay on your side of the street:cool::D

Larry Delor 07-18-2007 06:12 PM

True,but assiduity and kindness may only go so far with some parents and Grandparents:eek:

It would not seriously impair your chances if there are no other family members.

Buy a tow truck. Make your own schedule.

You can run drugs. Buy a really flashy Skater, park it at a marina in the keys and start making runs.:D
