Thinking of finding ways to make extra money

Post Reply New Topic

Aren't you a crafts-y sort of guy? How about opening an Etsy account or similar? Sell custom voodoo puppets and whatnot.

He would have to find a way to make payments untraceable by the government, though. Once he reaches $85 for the month, the government takes away half of what he makes through reducing his SSI benefit.

Being paid in cash, as far as I know, is the only way this could happen.

Voodoo puppets... of WP members?

I decided I'm done with voodoo. If it couldnt get rid of my mother than it must be fake.

But I can try to craft stuff like flowers and sell them around the neighborhood. Might be a good idea.

I thought about selling my crafts on the road but I read its illegal to do that without a license...

That's true.

But look into how much you have to pay for a license. I bet it's not that much.

Maybe it's something I can work towards in the future.

Right now I think my easiest and safest bet is to find odd jobs to do around my neoghborhood.

Just gotta cultivate that sleazy voodoo salesman style.

You can get a "seller's license" in Georgia for $50.

Ok!

Also my sister said my neighborhood is very poor and full of drug addicts so I need to be very careful when going around looking for work...

I just found out:

You can't redeem bottles and cans specifically for money----but you can sell aluminum and plastic to "recycling centers" for money.

Ok. Good to know!

Well just a thought... I do still have my tarot cards. Maybe I could start changing for readings?

It should be ok if you're just doing it here and there for a little extra cash. But if you were to start making more consistent income with it then it would be best to report the income even if it is cash.

That said if you were interested in actually getting like a part time job, then you could always try to go through voc rehab and try and get them to set you up with an employment service thing. Voc rehab itself will give you a counseler but they just recommend typical stuff if you really need 'help' you can get into programs for work adjustment and such. That is what I did, and as for the SSI they will deduct some but the money you end up making will make up for it.

But if you're not ready for all that it shouldn't be an issue to make a little extra cash, so long as its not an actual income.

I tried to get work through vocational rehab when I was in high school and nothing came from it because the lady never contacted me back...

I often wonder if my mother had something to do with that?
