Collect Debts

If anyone owes you anything, this is the time to collect.

Easier said than done, right?

Well, there are two ways to increase the odds of collecting.

The first is to offer a discount.

The idea here is to get paid with something you’re free to sell immediately.

you’re able to check on your smart phone and see whats available right now.

Borrow Money

This can be a fast way to raise cash, but there are two problems here.

First, you have to repay the money at some point.

With that in mind you might want to borrow only what you really need.

The second problem is that the people you know might not have any money to lend to you.

In that case, ask if they have things they want to get rid of.

Look for items that are easily sold, and buy them with an IOU.

Then go sell them for cash.

But have a go at be a better negotiator next time.

Sell Your Future Labor

This is something like borrowing, except that youll never have to repay with money.

Get on the phone and call the people you know.

Explain that youll sell your services cheap if they pay for future delivery.

Youll owe your time and labor, but youll never have to repay the cash.

But what if you have scoured the house and come up with only 20 of them?

Its time to go to your friends and family.

Call first so you know who has at least a couple dozen.

That way you’re free to plan your route efficiently.

Some peoplemake a living collecting cansbut it isnt much of a living.

Of course, that doesnt work if you need your money in the next hour.

For that youll have to find one of the remaining local used book stores that buy books.

Call first to be sure they pay cash and not just store credit.

Have a Friend Use Your Credit Card

We return once more to your friends for help.

Pay for it all with your credit card in exchange for him giving you the cash.

Meanwhile youll have cash now, without the usual cash-advance fees and higher interest rates.

Sell Your Clothing

We all have some clothes we havent worn in a long time.

Why not sell some of those things to raise some money fast?

Get online to findthe closest Platos Closetor other clothing store that buys used clothes.

Sell Your Friends Things

Were going to pester your friends for help right until the end of our list.

An example will explain how this is going to work… Load up and start the rounds of pawn shops, book stores, and used furniture stores.

If the furniture store will pay $75 for the table, tell her youll give her $45.

You pocket the difference in each case.

Continue in this way until you have sold her stuff.

Pay her whats due and the rest is yours.
