Broke as fuck...
 
How do you guys make your money? I got the ol 9 to 5 but its only $9.08 an hour and after bills thats barely enough to cover food and gas. I'm tired of this shit. I want a better financial life. The only thing that keeps me floating is selling car audio which I get at a discount price and selling bootlegs. Any tips on cheap electronics that can be bought and resold for profit?

La Cosa Nostra 09-15-08 03:01 AM

makes your whole steez a bit ironic doesent it....

YouAndWhatArmy 09-15-08 03:02 AM

Well, I got the ol' 9 to 5 also. But, I'm on a salary wage so I ain't paid by the hour. I get my cash whether I am there or not, word. My basic salary wage per month pretty much covers my expenses and leaves me with about £200-£300 left.

Then I do my shady deals at work selling products at a cut price, pocketing the cash and then simply writing the product off so the company can claim back of it. They don't lose out, I get extra cash. It's all good.

Then there are the people I know where I live that steal shit off the back of lorries and are too twitchy to be off loading it to others themselves so I sell some of their shit on for them and take a percentage of the profits. I only do this on real rare occasions though.


You just gotta find them not so above board ways of making money to go with the money you earn legally. Word.

King Solo 09-15-08 03:05 AM

Illegally is the ONLY way you can make a real profit these days, LOL.

50Cal. 09-15-08 03:21 AM

9.05 x 40 hours =360.oo a week x 4 weeks in a month =1440.00 in a short month

thats decent unless your paying too much for rent.get something for around 500 a month and youll be ok.if you have no money then your living out of your budget.i drive a cab and make around 100-200 a day depending on what day it is and thats after i pay gas and the taxi depot.if you got a clean liscense then maybe you should try that.i pay 500 a month for rent,300 for other bills and around 200 for food a month and have plenty left over.drive a cab and youll be good:)

Kirk 09-15-08 06:50 AM

A salary is where it's at. I work two days during the week, each about 6 hours or so and get paid $80 each day. That doesn't sound that good, but I work Saturday and Sunday too, about 3 hours each day, and get paid the same. Comes out to over 26 dollars an hour. On top of that I have my expenses check. I make back way more money than I spend. On top of my check this week, I got an extra $600 or so.

King Solo 09-15-08 07:35 AM

^ Hell yeah, salary wage owns hourly wage.

King Solo 09-15-08 07:39 AM

The United States cost of living is dopeness.


My salary wage works out to me getting around £350 a week, which when converted works out to around $618 a week... so that is pretty sweet I think coz it works out to about $2,472 every 4 weeks. AWESOME.

C.March 09-15-08 09:46 AM

Im on a "wage" salary with finland, im getting paid $100,000 a year for the first 3 years of my contract with an option for a fourth. I also have various bonuses tied in to the contract including performance and winning various cups. Such a dirty set up. My expenses are food. I have my house and car paid for by the team........ and im only 20

King Solo 09-15-08 09:54 AM

Yeah, but we're talking REAL jobs. You have an unfair advantage in the way that you get paid to play a sport. All sportspeople get paid a shit load to play their game professionally. It's no accomplishment that you are 20 and getting paid so much, it is just lucky that you were blessed with a talent. So good for you.


I could've been playing football (soccer) professionally now if I hadn't fucked up my knee when I was 15. I took a two-footed tackle right into the side of my knee and it totally fucked it up.

50Cal. 09-15-08 02:54 PM

food aint exspensive if you cook.stop buying fast food all the time

Kirk 09-15-08 02:55 PM

Fast food fucks your money up, man. Bigtime.

Brydon 09-15-08 04:32 PM

Fast food is unhealthy for your body and your wallet but...............

I just cant stop eating that shit lol..............

If you are any good at gambling, be careful but gamble any spare cash until you feel comfortable in the way you live........(if you win).
If you have half a brain and can do maths the rest is simple.(all it is-is a learning process which i believe most of this site can do easy)

Its not good for most but my life is easy, no stress and i have what i want when i want.

Which is why i dont appreciate gayboys like spul lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he has done well for him self but i hate the prick lol....................

Ima hate'r muther fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I eat fast food on my breaks from work and cooked when I'm home. My girl lives 30 miles from me but my car gets that per gallon but gas is still a killer. I dont always get 40 a week sometimes its 32 plus taxes cut into the pay check. Then you gotta take into account people have needs such as fun and a girlfriend plus cars needs replacement parts from time to time (tires, cap and rotor, windshield wipers, for now) Plus I'm trying to save for a vacation in December. And I want to buy a new car (350Z) and ask my girl to marry me so I gotta buy a ring and save for a wedding. $9.08 don't cut it.

For now:
RENT $350
PHONE $80
INSURANCE $100
GAS $200(ish)
FOOD $200 (at least)
FUN EXPENSES $Who Knows

if your under 21, and dont care about your credit right now, I can get you a check for 4-7500k, you'd have to send me 1 or 2k for getting you the check. You'll owe a bank that X amount, have 8-10months til it goes into collections and you get calls weekly, eventually they stop calling, 6 years and your credit is restored - and as long as you got another checking account open or something, you wouldn't be fucked. hit me in a PM if you want for more details heh. Not saying it's smart..But, if your the type of person who can flip 1500 to 3 to 6, and so on. It may be for you. I got 4500, bought a car, got a repaint, engine swap, and new wheels, spent 1500 on all that, then sold it for 8500. paid off the debt within 9 months...spent another 2300 on another car off craigslist, spent another 1300 this time, bought another car, sold it for 7400...

Rolled that cash into a studio, have put out 3 full length's for people, get 50/hr or 300-600 a block, and also got a few side projects where the money is growing. (Not to mention I also dumped 1,000.00 on bodog betting, and won 3000.)



If your smart, with a little, you can make alot.

Magic5 09-15-08 08:07 PM

King Solo 09-16-08 02:18 AM

I fucking hate fast food, it seduces me with its enticing scent and then obliterates my wallet with its fucking gay prices. And fuck cooking man. I live mostly on microwave meals and shit. Word to radiation poisoning.

man, shit... fuck that. i can go to the grocery store and drop $100 like its NOTHIN. everything is expensive now, even food from the grocery store. and especially when you're cooking for just yourself, you can't really save money by cooking a big meal... unless you plan on eating leftovers for a week.

Sean Gunner 09-16-08 12:37 PM

For real deli meat is like $5 for a pack here. Hell if you can stomach it, just get ramen noodles and eat off those for 3 months or steal protein bars and only eat dinner. It fucks up your body so don't do it forever, but it helps ya get through a rough spot.

Also Known. 09-16-08 02:33 PM

Just cuz I live in California doesn't mean i live next to a beach. I live in Sacramento to get to a beach I'd kill a tank of gas like nothing. My fun expenses go to taking my girl out to dinner, movies, hookah bar, shit with the homies. I don't smoke weed anymore so I ain't spending on that gas is the killer.

Kirk 09-16-08 06:31 PM

Money isn't real.

so nobody wants to take my offer of turning a seed into a tree?

Also Known. 09-16-08 08:39 PM

No i dont want to screw my credit score. I've never had a credit card I don't believe in that. Don't owe nobody nothing.

Sean Gunner 09-16-08 09:11 PM

You need credit though to buy a house or a car. Just buy $30 worth of stuff, pay it off, and that's it. What I do is put my netflix and gamefly accounts on it, total it's about $40 and it's automatic so I can destroy my card and not be tempted to use it again. Also, why would I mess up my credit, owe a lot of money, and send you 2K, Pro. Makes no sense. Sounds more like a scam.

if 100$ in groceries doesn't last you more then 10 days then it's a problem

10 days of fast food would be even more then 100$

figure it out smarty pants

Pro's deal sounds like that African craigslist scam that was on the news. I got credit trough my cell phone and my insurance. I'm gonna get a Lowe's credit card tomorrow with like $100 limit. I work there so I can pay it off cash when I get my check. Simple, but your gamefly idea is smart, props. Still need a new job I miss my job in Sales i'm so damn good at it.

^how'd you get 14-1?

Dabatos 09-17-08 06:46 AM

I make about $1300 a week... Only bills I have is me and my girls phonebill about $90 per month and my health insurance. Its way too expensive to buy lunch at work, its about $8 dollars a day. So I buy food at the groceries about $30 that can last 1-2 weeks.
