Hi, I’m am waiting for a client’s payment. However, I can expect the payment by the end of the next week, so I haven’t gotten the money yet.

I would like to buy something that costs about 100$, it’s not necessary at all but I’d like to buy it.

The ideal scenario would be a client who pays upfront (could happen anytime). I have some electronic parts that I can sell on craigslist or ebay. Other than that I’m clueless.

    Pawn shops or jewelry stores that buy stuff might be options

    Odd jobs like washing dishes at short staffed restaurants might also get you a day’s wage if you’re lucky to know some people in the business

    Craigslist odd jobs seems like a easy way to find something and that pays under the table.

    If you have a lawn mower and you’re willing to interact with multiple people, you could go around and see if anyone is in need of their lawn mowed this week.

    – Adding to this, if you have a weed-eater or edger, you could see about doing their edging instead or as well.

    In 24 hours is probably not realistic

    Unless you can/want to do odd jobs, door to door sales pitch (like mowing the lawn), most jobs will have a brief delay (paperwork).

    Your easiest bet is credit card (no interest needed if you pay it off) or buy now pay later services (very predatory if you dont pay back in time)

    You could also ask a friend/relative but that will put a lot of burden on your relationship with them even if they are willing.

    You can sign up for surveys. Sign up for them until you get one, could be in 24 hours, might take a bit longer. There are sites that have endless like corpo surveys for their stupid products, often on zoom or something.

    Find the “cash jobs” Group on your local FB and do a few hours of pick-up yard work, etc.
