    Give up gambling. Commit to putting away an amount of money that you can afford to save each month. Put it into your savings account, seperate to your everyday bank account and don't touch it for any reason. After it begins to pile up a bit you will get addicted to saving it.

    You gotta do something that people are too dumbfuck lazy to do themselves. $10/15 per shot ... 3-4 jobs per hour ... Bingo.

    Or .... Go buy some cheap-ass croissants, fancy bread rolls, coffee cake etc etc etc .. sell door to door at +300-500% mark-up - give some sob story ... don't go overboard .. people will give you $5 just to go away.

    or - go buy a bunch of cheap bath salts - bubble bath - Soaps - Candles etc etc from clearance isle at drugstore/walmart/$ store ... warp in some fancy basket/paper .. stick a bow on it and sell door to door for $15-25 each.

    or - get a shitload of cheap-ass flowers (call around local stores to ask if they have any "excess stock" they want to shift) ... Stick 'em in a $1 store vase ... go sell door to door for $10 a pop.

    Plenty of money out there .. you just gotta find a way to get people to give it to ya.

    .. or were you looking to "fundraise" without any kind of significant effort on your part?
    Yeah I always buy food from strangers knocking on my door.

    You'd buy from a girl scout though - right ?

    I've bought cookies, doughnuts, popcorn, and various types of meat/fish from complete strangers before today.

    If the deal is right - and the product fits for the area you live in ... people will buy it.

    Let's hear your idea's Mr Trump.
