Do you have a ‘whole life’ life insurance policy? This type of insurance policy allows you to tap into a cash value – now.
Similarly, if you have an IRA account, you can borrow against it immediately. This option comes with some caveats, such as potential penalties, taxes, etc., so you should discuss this possibility with your financial advisor before you go for the cash.
Depends on how old your child is but they can join Junior Achievement and get brownie points for school at the same time. JA teaches kids how to make worthless items such as wooden puzzles or paperweights then shows them how to market and sell this junk to strangers or other JA kids’ parents. The good thing about Junior Achievement is that it teaches children to be enterprising and enjoy the greed of capitalism at an early age. I am sure that Gordon Gecko of Wall Street movie fame was a former JAer, he just had to be.
What other good money making ideas for kids can be healthy and profitable? Collecting is certainly a good thing and most kids have some sort of valuable collectible if they really look at it. Things like comic books, baseball cards, action figures, toys, video games, etc., can all be taken out of the closet and resold on Ebay. Even a kid, as long as he has a bank account, can get an account online at Paypal and start selling his valuable collectibles to someone else. It’s like Steve Martin said, “If you nail two pieces of wood together that no one has ever nailed together before, some schmuck will buy it.”
Along the same lines, casual manual labor can help you pull the iron out of the fire. Canvass the neighborhood to see if you can scare up some business mowing lawns, weeding, hauling trash or helping people move. Many older people are more than willing to pay for someone to get these tasks done. This is a good solution for both teens and adults.
In addition to being a ‘fastest way to make money’, this work idea is easy! With summer approaching, folks are going on vacation, and want to know that their home is safe during their absence. House-sitting usually gives you a place to live, food and a little cash besides! You’re there to water plants, feed pets and just keep watch over the property.
Is part of your cash problem due to a little too much shopping for items you now wish you hadn’t purchased (that kitchen gadget, darling dress or handbag you didn’t really need)? If it’s unused and you have the receipt, check to see if you can’t return it now, undo the foolish impulse and get the cash back in your wallet.
Short-term, one-time jobs (gigs) are abundant online. While you won’t get rich with this idea, it certainly qualifies as a ‘fastest way to make money’. Craigslist is teeming with such jobs, organized by job type, such as ‘crew’, ‘domestic’, ‘labor’ and so forth. Just click on your state and nearby towns. These gigs go fast, so you’ve got to check the boards frequently.
This idea should be carefully considered and reserved for dire straits and a responsible person who’s not prone to continually being in a financial bind for frivolous reasons. A ‘payday loan’, under the proper circumstances, qualifies as a fastest way to make money’, although you will pay a substantial amount of interest.
So there you have it in your fat little fingers. How to make money fast and get some cash in your hands!
