Man am I broke. Anybody know of any quick and easy side jobs to find?

[GTS_300_Coupe]

My bank balance is close to $0.00 and my credit card is maxed out.
Yeah I know its my own stupid fault and I should budget better so spare me the lectures but I need all you peoples infinite wisdom on here who would give me some advice or if you have any ideas on how I can make some quick cash?

Getting another permanent job just wont do with my time schedule.
I'm thinking more along the lines of any online jobs available or jobs you could easily find out in the neighbourhood or something.

I have good people skills and general knowledge.

Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for anything you can contribute to this thread. :

sorry, mate
how about agency work, it pays good money and is all casual.
give adecco a call or forstaff.

Might be an idea to post where you are from, what experience and qualifications you have etc.

People skills? Retail....
You might want to try night fill at a supermarket.

:

Not in relation to the job, but ensure you have less out than coming in ( boring i know ) but you will need to stabilise the slide and avoid further woes, from there yes extra work and rebuild.

After this thread http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=41574 for your XBOX360 order ...

Maybe you need to instil some SELF DISCIPLINE... Differentiate between a NEED and a WANT...

I’m not your mother, but if you don’t use COMMONSENSE you will be adding the same thread in 10 years from now... If u had waited 3 months, the 360 would be half price and you could’ve paid CASH... Plus, you could barter.

With the exception of a home, if u haven’t got the cash, u can’t afford it – Try and live like that.

I would HIGHLY recommend a magazine like MONEY. Lays down the basics.

Bit harsh, but sometimes u need a good kick in the pants !!

Just trying to help !! ; )

Seriously, before you start looking for money, I think you're better off learning how to budget first like stera mentioned. By earning more money, you'll only end up spending it anyway.

If you need cash fast, prioritise. If you're serious you'd probably sell the XBox, put the money aside and budget accordingly. Sure you've probably yearned for it since you heard about its release, but we don't all get what we want and make sacrifices. Even if it means getting the latest gadgets further down the track.

In re. to jobs. Handing out resumes and applying at a lot of places on seek.com.au and similar is your best chance. Agencies are generally good for casual factory work, you've just got to want to work first.

I met a dude at a club last week and he was selling little blue tablets. Seemed to earn a bit. Maybe give that a go.

Actually, when I did work in a servo, I was getting $6 an hour, and that was in 2003.

Needless to say I left after that...

$6 dollars an hour was that an adults wage?
That sounds like slave labour to me & in 2003.

That is pathetic... I started part time during high school and was on $7.50ish... Almost 20 now, and I'll be earning $24 an hour weekends while at uni..

forky licence is $450 and a 2 day course. im currently doing it - half way through it, just got the exam tomorrow
not bad, but the dude said he's broke as.

you just have to be careful with your money...when you get to the point that your outgoings are more than whats coming in, you're pretty well stuck.

thats where i was a few weeks back, but im turning it around.... new job with more $ should help a lot, and hell im gonna be so careful from now on.....

the laws have changed, your licence probably limits you to a 10,000tonne fork, mine's unlimited....... meaning i can now use any forklift....

I'm working in a bottle shop as a second job which is great as i'm saving to go over seas for 8 weeks and I have no intentions to work while over there :P.

Its a good hourly rate, better then most retail/nightfill jobs and hours are very flexible. Bartending is along a similar vein with more hours again and a better hourly rate due to the later times that you'll be expected to work (eg 1/2am in the morning, even later) and some of the crap you have to put up with.

the award for hospo work aint that good, but get into a decent pub and they won't pay you like a pleb and you're looking at around 18-19p/h
