OH NO!!!
Ugh, ugh, ugh.
Because of a banking snafu (not our fault, but won't be cleared up in time) ...long story...
I have to come up with $150.00 in a hurry! Big big hurry. Like by the end of the month hurry.
I need ideas, fast!!
We have a site here in town to sell off stuff, posted things there, posted stuff in the local paper, and the thrifty nickel, Have told church friends i'll babysit, posted craft stuff for sale at local sites too...
Can't borrow from Mom, she and my brother are treading water as it is with chemo treatment bills
Can't borrow more from inlaws, they loaned us money to pay off some cc's recently.
Can't sell blood, lol, believe me, I called. I am on too many meds, lol.
I have cut back on all utilities (even internet is paid by the school program, so is free to us) and extras.
Any suggestions?? We are in a huge bind!~~ Missy ~~

What kinda stuff do you have to sell? Try posting some items on ebay and make it so immediate payment is required.

I agree, scour those closets, shelves and drawers and sell on ebay, it's really the best way to come up with extra cash!
Also try books, sell at half.com, ebookdrop.com (I think thats the addy) etc.
good luck!

what about dh's blood???
(can you actually sell blood in the us..???)
no groc shopping...
sacrifice a late fee and pay a bill or 2 next month, like phone or cable....
(and copy the late fee billing and send to bank due to their error)
ask bank to give you overdraft of 150.00 just for the month since its their error ( my bank did this to me when they took out my mortgage an extra time...)
sorry to hear about mom and bro chemo....good luck with that..
go through closests..any items you can return to store..with receipt, walmart gives credit w/o receipt but they do have groceries so its handy for that..
