Where did you find your money tree?

[nitrostarter]

I work 30-40 hours a week at a internship right now for an Accounting firm. I hate it but it pays the bills. I also cut grass when I'm off netting about $300 a week extra. But subtract car note, insurance, cell phone, food, girlfriend, going out, getting drunk.... Not much net profit. But I do save a percentage weekly.

correct but i had to do it to enter the progam i wanted to at my 4 year school. and its actaully very low pay in general for the job most are starting about 18-19, but the company would work with me around my school schedule (told me to work whenever i wanted during school just keep atleast 30 hours) they are the only one within reasonable distance from my school, they also have great benefits, and the free unifroms are nice since ive only had to wash clothes once in the last month lol. plus they have a very nice tutition reimbursement program that i will get to cash in on at the end of every semester which will MUCH more than make up for the low wage since my school is already covered, so that reimbursement will be going straight to my checking account



you give the concrete washing thing any thought? itd be even easier if you could convince your parents that they need one and get them to buy it youd have to clean your own driveway 1st if they bought it but then you could use it as practice and as a marketing example. make some little flyers and stick them in all your neighbor hoods mailboxes and list your house as an example of a completed job, dont list a price unless everyones driveway are close to the same size and all.....

After graduating I did have a litle trouble finding a job. Currently I'm working contract to full time coming this fall. Pays the bills, but not exactly what I expected to be doing with my engineering degree. I feel like I'm slowly losing what I aquired in school. I would like to be doing something more in line with engineering but I'm not going to complain with the job market continuing to get tighter. A job is a job and as long as I have one I'm doing "better than I deserve".

lol... I love Linc's "treasure hunting" suggestion. Actually it really works. I made a good amount of spare cash doing that in college. Search around craigslist and backpage too.

I once found a dude who used to work for sony and got fired, so he was selling all his old swag that he got free from the company. I got a ps2, an old school ps2, and about 30 games (half were still sealed in plastic wrap) all for $200 because he was too lazy to sell everything individually. I broke everything up and ended up grossing around $1300 for all the stuff. It turns out he had two extremely rare games in the lot and one single game sold for over $600 on ebay. The other sold for $300.

I have a "normal" job now, but I still find myself searching craigslist from time to time for good deals. Its always fun to make a quick buck out of someone else's "junk".
