How do you make a lot of money fast?
No seriously, I’m asking. When you’re in financial trouble the first thing that you ask yourself is “How can I make lots of money now?” and I’ve come to the conclusion that you can’t unless you sell your stuff or your current job has overtime opportunities.
Lots of people claim you can make money fast, but those people eat babies for dinner with their vegetables because they’re demons from hell. They’ll lead desperate people into a disaster so they can make some extra money themselves.
Getting a loan
The easiest way to make extra money fast if you have good credit is by taking out a loan, but if you’re in debt already then taking out a loan is a horrible idea. The last thing you want to do is get yourself into more debt, even if it’s with friends or family.
I took out a payday loan multiple times in the past and it actually helped me a lot. They only loaned money to me based on my income and the minimum payment was quite a lot so I couldn’t build up more debt and paid it off fast.
I still don’t recommend doing this but it can help you short term if you know that you can pay it off at a later date. I will say as well that the company I used went into administration — so there’s that.
