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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
