    some of the things i have done to get money for gambling..not proud

    i work as an insurance underwriter during the day, 29 years old, mba, etc and still need to resort to doing stupid things to make money to gamble...i made a solid 64k salary but here are some ways to make money

    craigslist-go to etc forum, volunteer forum in your local city and look for focus groups to participate in..I usually get 100-150 for 2 hrs of "work" talking about some shitty product about to enter the market etc...i have probably done 100 of these in the last 3 years...i recommend google "focus groups then ur nearest city and enter all of the databases you can for the various focus centers in your area

    mock jury trials in your area and medical testing-google it nearest to your city...i have one this tuesday..200 bucks to sit on a fake jury and talk about a case for 3 hours

    donate plasma-this is a good way to make 40-50 bucks 3 times a month....though its hard to find a center anymore

    rent things from rent-a-center and sell them, you will be on the hook for the contract but sometimes can pay it off at a lower price down the road. i do not encourage this

    ebay-people will buy anything, i once sold a pair of urine stained basketball shorts for 2.00, the buyer was cool with picking up the dry cleaning bill because the were jordan brand pm me with any questions..i could write a book

    western sky.com - go there for the payday loan, shitty rate...i do not recommend

    orchard bank and first premier ************-everyone gets approved...500 limit but still
    ebay- easy to set up an account

    How To Get At Least 40% Off Anything At A Store

    I never pay the full amount and get huge discounts on everything. I got myself a nice laptop valued at 1 Dime for $400 by telling the worker to smash the box and dent the edge of the laptop and when I bring it up to the cashier I cause a fukkin big stir and the manager basically gives it away.

    Secondly needed a new power drill valued $600, all I did was open the box pretending to look at it and when no one was looking smashed the mother fukker on the ground and paid only $180 for it because it was damaged a little on the exterior.

    I bought 20 Gallons of paint for a job I hustled up and again real simple young lads all I did was get a hammer from the next aisle and pound the sides of them and dented every one. I duked a worker so he did not say anything and he actually helped me!!

    52" TV, Best Buy floor model, real easy, you go to the top right corner and tap it with a small hammer and it should crack. You really never view the top right anyway and then you tell them you want the floor model and pretend you do not see the crack at first and then go hay wire on them and get the huge discount.

    45 Bags of cement, mini crow bar to each bag, I load them on the hand truck and I walk them to check out and the fukkin cement is going all over and the managers go fukkin crazy and tell me to stop and I play dumb and act it out and go "What?" and then I proceed to make an academy award acting scenario, kicking the bags and mumbling to myself about how I loaded all these bags and di not know they had holes in them....ect.... end of story got all the bags free!!!

    One more my favorite, Costco soda, I dent the tops of some of the cans in each case by pounding them into the ground and get 40% off the 20 cases.

    At times you will have to duke a kid that works there to watch for you and help you and other times its real easy because no one is around. Also be careful of the angles of the security cameras but in most cases they only look at them if theft is going on. Damaging good is real quick and not easy to pick up on a camera.

    Be a good actor also.

    some other things i have done include returning the empty water jugs we have at work to bj's because they give you 5 dollars for each one. I once worked at polar soda in worcester mass in college and we had an unlimited amount at our disposal...we were a distributor afterall! and i would take 20 a day and return them to various bj's thoughout new england on a rotating basis...made about 4k that summer

    I could live comfortably off of 15k per year if I had to, just wouldn't be able to go out much, buy any high priced toys, and would have to get a small apartment but could easily live off of this amount without going over if the situation called for it.

    Yea i think we all could but most people want a newer car and the average american spends 18% of his gross income on travel expenses. Scary.

    Dude that list is fine. I HVE CROSSED THE LINE TOO MANY TIMES

    Robbed and sold my dads Gold which was worth 3k in total all for gambling. LOST IT ALL

    Lost over 2k in school money. I no longer go to school.

    Robbed people for money to gamble.

    Borrow shit from friends to gamble.

    Lied to my mother countless times to get reload money. I DID THIS THIS MORNING.

    Im goin to hell for sure if there is such a thing.
    I know god sees the good in me. But this shit has go to stop. I just want to get the money Ive lost and im done with this shit.
    21 being broke with no job sucks balls. I wish I was making a ducktales/jjgold story right now but Im typing as serious as I can right now. Im a letdown and a disgrace to my family. I hate having to lie to them all the time not just when I gamble. Hopefully one day Ill make myself and my family proud.
