Student Loans For Bad Credit And No Cosigner

Garage Sales
This is a quick way of getting some cash in your hand as well as getting rid of all the things in your house that you no longer have the need for. Thinking practically in such cases is more beneficial than thinking emotionally. Avoid storing unnecessary junk or furniture or knickknack in your house that occupy space, need maintenance and do not serve any useful purpose in your house. Best to give it away to someone who can find good use for it. You don’t need any money to host a garage sale, and it serves two purposes at one time.

Small Home Businesses
Small home businesses that require no investment can be a great way of adding to your income. Maybe you could start selling your paintings, or if you have good culinary skills, then maybe you can start making cakes and other food stuffs. You can also try selling your photography skills and photos to magazines or newspapers, if you are interested in photography and have a personal photo collection. Or you can babysit for people’s kids, like a mini creche, where you can look after people’s kids for a couple of hours every day. And, if you have hobbies that can make money, cash on them.

Temporary Jobs
If you are good with the written word, there are sites that allow you to generate content for them, for some pay. Or, you could get a temporary job at a department or food outlet, for a couple of months to tide you over. There are many other small jobs that you can take up, like working at a library or a bookstore, or take part/volunteer in clinical research studies at a local hospital, start blogs, take care of people’s houses when they are out-of-town (water their plants, clean their houses, mow their lawns etc.) Start a blog or monetize your already existing blog, walk people’s dogs for them, clean driveways, shovel snow, etc. You can come up with a lot of ideas once you get started in the direction.

Home Tutoring
Starting coaching classes in your home is a great way to supplement your income. Start classes of subjects that you like and that you are good at. Guitar classes, Math and English classes, arts and crafts classes for kids etc. The options are endless. Put all your creativity and talents to good use and spread the knowledge. This can also turn out to be a successful way of self employment, and a great long term venture.

Clinton: This N.A.F.T.A. thing seems like a great idea to me.
Bush: Hell yeah. Me too.
Clinton: Wow, we have so much in common. We should be friends.
Bush: That sounds awesome. We can turn our beds into bunk beds and then we’ll have so much more room for activities.
Clinton: Good thinking. C’mere and give me a hug.
Bush: Mmmm… You smell good. Is that a mango conditioner?
Clinton: Yes. My new intern loves it.

That other guy who was there: That idea sucks. Someone pay attention to me.

I know what you’re thinking – There are a lot of differences between the two parties. Things like gay rights, the second amendment, and the whole evolution vs. the Flintstonian theory. And you’re right, but what occurred to me then, and what I’ve seen time and again since, is that there is no difference in economic policy between a republican politician and their democratic counterpart. Sure, they talk a different talk, but what do they actually do that is so different? Much like Clinton and Bush in ‘92 regarding N.A.F.T.A. Obama and McCain practically fought over who liked the banking bailout more. Between 2009 and 2011 democrats held the presidency and a majority in both houses of congress. In that time they managed to give billions of dollars to the banking industry and military contractors (because they kept us in Iraq and Afghanistan and the rest of the world), they passed a financial reform bill that was the textbook definition of a paper tiger, and gave us health care reform that put a proverbial band-aid on a gunshot wound.

So when it comes to issues that are emotionally charged and can be debated until the cows come home (i.e. abortion) we have clear divisiveness and ideology, but when it comes to the bottom line – the issues that will really effect normal people on a day to day basis – things that will have an impact on interest rates and the job market – we have complete bi-partisanship. Even if that bi-partisanship comes in the form of faked surrender or underachievement, the result is the same. Sadly, it’s been going on for so long that it’s become cliche – the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
