Offer Help and Collect Debts

If you don't have anything physical to sell, try a few of these methods.

  • Collect debts - if anyone owes you money, give them a call and ask for the money.
  • Ask for an advance - If you really need cash, ask your boss for an advance on your next paycheck. It's worth a shot!
  • Get a credit card cash advance - If your credit cards aren't maxed out, or on the brink of being maxed out, take out a cash advance. You'll be charged a small fee, but it might be worth it depending on how much cash you're in need of.
  • Pawn something - if you don't want to sell anything, but have things that are worth money, you could pawn them. They could potentially charge a lot of interest, so this isn't the cheapest route.
  • Sell your family's stuff - If you're heading out to the pawnshop, ask family and friends if they need anything sold and charge a small fee. You'll do all the negotiating!
