hello everyone
as above over the last 3 years iv been struggling as you would put it , im in a full time job but yet find myself short ever month afder paying out my loan , car , rent and genral bills
im always trying to find somthing to help bring a small income somthing just so i could put away save up , im so tired of not being able to do anything because i have no money .
the job i do is very demanding and when it comes to my week off as i do a week of nights and a week off i just want to relax
what can i do ?
i understand that to get somwhere you have to work hard for it but i do but yet still get nowhere
Hi There,
.
I think as you say, if you want to make a change you are going to have to work for it, I would start by looking around your home and see what you could sell at maybe a carboot sale, that would give you a small amount of cash that maybe you could start too use to sell things on ebay, I would have a look around on ebay at what's selling, then look to buy those items cheaply maybe at pound stores and then sell them on with a profit, it would be small to start with and maybe slow going but over time you may be able to build up enough money to maintain replacing stock and give you some spare cash.
.
Another option is too not relax on your week off, and see if you could find some temp work to do maybe a couple of days during your week off.

hi mate
yes this is true i never thought of seeing things on e.bay i was going to buy a batch of electronic cigs i orderd on a few weeks ago from china and it was really good for £22
and was thinking of seeling for £30 but like you said its a slow process as for work when im on my days off i think this is what it will lead to
Do you have any hobbies or interests that could get you a small income, eg arts and crafts?
i am currenly building a ship out of lolly pop sticks i now this might sound stupid and its a long process to get where i am not its took 2 months and thats to the base of the ship and 2 sale
Morning,
.
You could also wander around charity shops and see if some items in there could be sold on ebay for a profit, and car boot sales are also a good place to grab bargains that could sell for higher amounts online.
.
A ship made of lolly sticks........sounds interesting, especially eating the lolly's first Lol

See, with that sort of creativity, you might be able to produce items you can sell, where all it's cost you is time.
got the tshirt your reply made me laught , i dont eat them i buy them off e.bay
actd yes this is true but so much time goes into it its untrue but i will give it a shot and keep you updated
also the car boot thing sounds like a plan i do like a good carboot !
Just a thought, if you drive to work would getting a cheap bike be possible? That way you could save on fuel, maintenance etc. You would also get the health benefits and potentially have a new hobby.
Ebay is really good for earning some extra cash.
I was running a ebay store up until recently, just going through a break up....so had to sell a lot of my stock.
But I go round car boots buying dvd ,cd etc...and then sell them on...always start the price at what you brought it for, so if it sells you at least get your money back. ...also include listing fees, packing costs...etc.
...if you need any advice on ebay, drop me a message, I have over 7000+ sales.
Cheers goatjazz
And if you sell things on ebay that interest you.
.then it also becomes like a hobby, which makes you some cash....
You like models, so maybe look for model kits etc...
a push bike would be out the question i go up the m1 to where i work if it was closer then yes id be doing that shame but yes car has to be .
and goatjazz i will take you up on that at some point i could see myself doing somthing like that it would really be up my street how to go about it to start off tho be intresting
