Hi, as some of you know from reading my other posts, I go to Cornell and it's a seriously rip off school. I mean they charge 25 dollars a month for internet access and limits your bandwith to 2 gigs. If you go over by 1 MB, they charge you up your ass. My parents have already spent a great deal of money toward my tuition and stuff. So I am suppose to buy my own textbooks. Here is the problem though, I didn't think the books are gonna be this expensive, so I spent a part of the money upgrading my computer. Now I am about 85 dollars short. I am working while taking classes, but I sort of need the book in the next week or so. I can't tell my parents because they think I already have all my books. So if anyone can tell me a fast way to make some real cash, i would appreciate it.
 
drug dealing
prostitution
gambling (loaded dice of course)
work for the mob
mug someone
pawn something (then steal it back from the pawn shoP)
armed robbery

take your pick
 
Ah, welcome to the world of Harsh Lessons Stemming From Financial Irresponsiblility! 😀

You have now learned; don't spend every last penny.

Perfect example. In 1994 I was riding high. New job, new credit (newly repaired) and I went willy nilly buying audio gear for my POS car.

Car sounded great, I was making payments on the CC..but it was maxed.

I blew the alternator. 😱 Dealer wanted $250 for a new one...I refuse to buy second hand alternators or starters...only new or rebuilt. I had to beg and borrow to scrape together the money...and I went w/o a car for a week, that's how long it took me to get the money. :disgust:

I have one CC that I don't use at all, ever. That's my "I need a new alternator" credit card. 🙂

Live and learn, buddy.

what he said ...

try donating your plasma or something. they pay for that, don't they?
 
go to psychology department or your medical school and sign up for their experiment/research. Usually you'll be paid around $10-$25/hr of participation, MRI and drug studies pay the most.
 
hey, i'm at cornell too.

yea, the bandwidth thing is a jip. If you really want to be a bum go around and find an unsecured wireless router and scam his bandwidth.

but seriously, just borrow a book from a classmate and photocopy the pages you need until you can afford to purchase the book. or better yet, go and return the computer parts you've purchased to get the book.
 
sell your other books, and buy the books online, F the book store, go to www.half.com put your ISBN number in here and get a used book, i save like 30 dollars every book

I went through countless classes without ever buying the books 🙂 I had a lot of Lit classes that needed 4 books that I didn't buy, but still ended up with a B. Depends on the class if you needed it or not. I agree with the photocopy thing. Or tell your prof that your book was lost/stolen and you can't afford another one. He/she may take pity on you can give you one.
