with the way the economy is going...how are people getting by? im sure some people here like myself...took a pay cut cause of how slow things have been...how have you guys been subsidizing your income so you can keep hobbying?


pm me if you want! need ideas...
 
With me my overtime was my hobby money but that is gone
so I hobby less :(



One thing I thought of was begging

I begged once as a challenge to write a creative story


If you work hard at it and use your mind (watch those who are good at it )you can make $500 in a weekend all tax free

You just gotta have balls
 
Dog walking.

If you can handle 6 at a time, multiply that by $15 and you've made $90 on your lunch break.
 
Poker tournaments. Shuffle up and deal..
 
i have thought about driving for an agency. no criminal record...no tickets...nothing..actually...once i was sleeping in the passenger seat when my friend and i carpooled to work...a cop saw me sleeping without a seatbelt and pull us over and gave me a ticket...can you imagine waking up and then a ticket is handed to you? lol

back to the driving thing. i would want to be a driver and i enquired about the position from a few agencies here but i got zero replies...but im sure they had their reasons. PM me agencies! lol

well i actually do have a stable job...im actually an account manager for an IT consulting firm. to be more acurate...i didnt actually get a paycut..its just that many companies arent using our services as much so my commissions slowed down a little.

i actually went on one those poker sites once...i put in $50...in a few days i went to as high as $400...then ....yes you guessed it...lost it all....then i was interested in poker and then i found out that the buy-ins i was playing on were too high for my bankroll and it was basically inevitable that i would eventually run a streak of bad luck and lose it all. i think i put in $50 and was playing on a $20-$25 dollar sit and go. it was fun...always considered going back to it. but im looking for like a live game...like not a casino game...but just a simple one at someone's house...anyone have a game going?
 
I mis the good old days when I had connections to get in on the top rung of a pyramid. Scummy way to do business but quick returns nonetheless.

The going rate in my Toronto neighbourhood is $15/hour, there's more than a half dozen competing to walk your dog.
There's a lot of people who don't have the time and will pay good money for their pets.
 
You'll need a licence and insurance for dogwalking.
City wants $300.00/yr and insurance is around $800.00 -$1000.00 yearly.
Some are getting $20.00/hr per dog,

Chat with the pros at Cherry Beach.
Some have to turn away clients.
Good luck!

Not at home but this league seems ok for poker fun.. No cost but chance to be in WPT tourny for free and it's live poker.

I would have thought someone would have suggested:

If I did that, she would still make me walk her dog and pay me $15 bucks.

I remember those days.... made a few rounds and came out with quite a few grand in my pocket within a month.
Maybe we should start one here :D
 
I do 2 things to make extra money..
1st. I do Sports Bets Online, very good steady source of income...( can recomend a couple tipsters if u like..pm me)

2nd. I do Handyman/Help stuff in my spare time..inside the house or outside..( willing to barter with SP'S ) cleaning, minor repairs, assembling stuff, general yard work, grass window cleaning etc.

In the end it all adds up.
