So yea, I need ideas. I'm still flat-broke because I constantly have to save up for the London trip coming up with the band. After paying insurance, I now how somewhere around $400 in my account I believe.
I owe $700 come September for London.
Another $300 payment in November I believe....
Another payment of $530 for insurance in January...
I need to get my bumper fixed so thats somewhere around $200 maybe?
See where I'm going? I owe ALOT, plus college is coming up. I'm broke and I'm going to be forever. I have a job, which currently pays somewhere around $5.15-6.00 per hour, depending on my duties that day. Plus, I get tips, which is normally around $20 a night. So, I'm saving and getting there, but I'm kinda worries it won't be enough.
I need ideas on how to raise money. Please don't say a second job because I've tried that and I've got school plus marching band coming up that'll cut in.
HELP ME!!! Oh, and does anyone know where I can sell books at? Online or something? I've got like 200 books I own that I'm willing to get rid of....

Best idea I have is to get your butt BACK on the street corner, and off the computer! Besides that, sell your books on Amazon, stop spending money on hookers and coke, and kick Jared in the head. Hard. Love, Mark W.

haha you told me about this today at lonestar! it seems that you have a problem. i wouldnt say get another job, i would say get a new one! haha. 20 a night is pretty bad...i get (on a normal day) around 60 a new job would solve a lot but...that's just what i think ~kendall~

Well...maybe it was phrased weird, Kendall. Its not just 20 a night. Thats what I normally make in tips, plus the hours I work that night, which is probably around 25 or so a night...so it adds up in the end, I guess. I just got this one a couple of months ago and it doesn't look too hot on job applications if a continue quitting places.
As for Amazon.com, Mark, it costs me money to sell stuff on there....and who knows, by the time I sell, I might end up spending just as much. I need to find a way that SAVES me money. Although, I do have one solution that they gave us today at band camp...
Sponsor letters. Send letters to local businesses, family members, friends of the famly, and neighbors to help me out with the London trip. It won't help me with insurance but thats okay...

25 being the hours...plus 20, so 40-50 a night, maybe? 0.o Or on the rare case I work a double shift...
