Best ways to borrow cash?

[By-Tor]

borrow cash from friend, make them drop it off and pick it up from you.

at 33 no one should be broke. anyone can get broke but dont stay broke. get a quick job for cash or tips and play small poker and build it up. put in the hours 7 days a week.
in no time you should get your 6 g's. or have a decent job by then. you have been around enough to make it gambling if you control spending and tilting. good luck.

lol.


seriously though, do what the others said and get a job delivering pizzas or bar-backing or something.

If you can't find a job within one month then you are aiming too high.

nonsense.

i'm unemployed, and have been for @4 months. i could've gotten any number of BS jobs in that time, and i'm sure the OP could be pumping gas for $10/hr tomorrow if he really needed to.

the more value that a job seeker has, the longer it'll take them to fond the right job, depending, of course, on the industry that they're in, and so on- there's ten zillion $10/hr jobs out there, but maybe only 10,000 $500k/yr jobs. if one has the skills and experience to make that $500k, they had better be ready to spend a year looking for the right fit. they could get a $10/hr job any time. but holding out for what they're worth doesn't mean they're aiming too high.

geez!

...though yer right about one thing: there's nothing wrong with slinging pies. it's better than going into debt.

Seriously? The week after I got laid off last year I had already gone on probably 15 different interviews, in about six different states.

I think I got a total of two unemployment checks from the state of Michigan, and one of those was because we had a family vacation already planned.

Literally four hours after I got laid off I had already set up about a dozen interviews, all over Michigan, several in Colorado, two in Washington DC, etc, etc... it's not that hard.

The real problem is deciding between the six or seven different offers, figuring out which company will be the best for you in the future... this is the mistake I made (picked the wrong job in CO, so I quit and am taking a different offer six months later).

I honestly can't imagine being unemployed for more than a month or so, regardless of your chosen field or education. There's just way too many jobs out there for people who are willing to work hard. If you make a mistake and don't like the job, you can always keep looking while you're working.... sitting on my azz waiting for a job to show up is completely out of the question for me.

There's absolutely no way in freaking hell I'd be considering taking out a bunch of creditcard debt at 15-20% interest.

Said it before I could. Even if you are interviewing hard core, it's barely a part time job. Working 5 to midnight 6 days a week won't impact your job search and you won't have that debt hanging over your head.

I have to ask why you've not put some money in savings? Or at least developed a credit line? At least in this situation you can work your way out of trouble, but what if you have a medical problem, even a fairly minor medical problem? You could be homeless because of an appendicitis.

All i meant is that if you are in a position where you have $0 savings and are thinking about credit card cash advances, you shouldn't be taking 2-3 months to find a job.

You should be doing what everyone else is saying and finding at least a part time night job.

If you find yourself without a job and you are highly qualified in a very particular field, sure you can take a couple months to find the right fit, but thats assuming you are in a better financial situation than this person.

I've been unemployed for almost 2 years and Wells Fargo just sent me an unsolicited pre-approved loan application for $25k. Robusto, suckas!
