Yeah guys, being young is no excuse for not being able to make money. I work 6 days and junkyards and craigslist are gold mines. I sold an overhead console for 150 and paid 15 for it. Gotta know what you're looking for. I picked up an ax15 for 40 and put it on craigslist and i'm gonna see what offers I get.

Look for jobs that nobody wants haha. I made close to $12 an hour the other day shoveling snow after the blizzard for 10 hours. There was a whole crew there as the landscaping company needed extra people to help clear out the (huge) old folks community. We probably had a bobcat, 2 tractors, a plow, 10 shovelers, etc all under 25 years old. Also in summer I worked on a lobster boat. Get up early, manual labor, smelly work, confined to space on the boat, and the fact that most lobstermen come from a lobstering family and it's really hard to get into it from a non-lobstering family made it so I got $75 per day with a $25 bonus if we caught over 400 lbs. I don't know what kind of weird lobstering I get pics on Instagram of from like florida, but this is not that. This is not scuba diving in clear water in a bathing suit. It's rubber boots, rubber pants, rusty traps,and hard work
