Offer your services to neighbors.  You can have a good opportunity babysitting kids if several parents in your area leave early for work. You can also walk dogs in your local area. You can also run errands for busy neighbors or make meals for elderly people.  You can charge a daily fee for your services so that you have something to use for your immediate monetary needs.

You can teach people skills and charge them for it.  For example,  if you are good with video editing and photography, you can give short lessons to people who would love to learn about these skills.  Use your expertise outside work to earn extra money.  You can also offer to proofread papers or help people with statistics.  It is likely that you have some talent or skill that you can use to make money. Let your hidden talents out and earn money from them.

If you need money immediately and you really do not have enough time to walk dogs or babysit, gather your valuables and go to the pawn shop.  You may not get as much as you like or you may not get a lot of money when considering the value of your items but this is still one of the quickest ways to make cash.

It depends.  If you don’t have any sentimental attachment to the items you are going to pawn then it might be a good idea if you are extremely desperate for some quick cash.  However, it’s not a great idea to go and pawn that special diamond ring your mother gave you on her deathbed unless you really don’t care if you never get it back again.  And, don’t expect to get anything close to the real value of the item you are pawning. 

It’s pretty simple to get some quick cash from a pawnshop.  You just take your personal stuff that has some value to a pawnshop and use the stuff as collateral to get a loan.  Usually, the loan will be approximately ten percent of the actual value of your item.  You will give the pawnshop your stuff and the pawnshop will give you a pawn ticket.

After that you have several choices.  First, you can go and buy your stuff back during the next 20 days by going to the pawnshop and paying back the loan with interest (usually about 20%).  Second, you can go back before the 30 days has run and just pay the interest on the loan.  This will allow you the chance to come back again within the next month and pay off the loan and interest and get your stuff back.  Finally, you can choose not to pay back the loan at all.  In that case, the pawnshop will keep your stuff and sell it for much more than you received for it.  But, you won’t owe the pawnshop anything more.

Use this as a last resort and don’t do it if the stuff you have is sentimental to you.
