I've had a situtation come up at the worst possible time and suddenly, flat broke as I am, I need to pay a thousand dollars by Wednesday or I lose the first stable accommodation I have had in almost a year. I have a few ideas, but I wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone can think of something that won't involve me getting into a lifelong compound interest debt or my kneecaps broken. As you'll see from the list below there probably isn't anything, but I figure it can't hurt to ask.

  • 24 years old
  • Aus citizen
  • No job
  • No credit history
  • On welfare
  • No savings left
  • Not quite cutting even, despite being on my tightest budget (to the point I'm eating one and a half meals a day)
  • Oh also - about to resume full-time study
  • ALL my friends are broke

Should I just accept I'm fucked or am I missing something?
 
$1000 in three days with no credit and no job? That's going to be tough.

If I may ask, why did they suddenly spring a $1000 bill on you that you have to pay within 3 days? I'm not familiar with aussie law, but surely a landlord can't just knock on your door and demand $1000 within three days. In the US there are laws protecting tenants, and a landlord can't just toss you out without a pretty long court process.
 
Well paypal does give you a credit card without checking how much money you make.

So I don't know how much money you make off the books but they will take your word for it.

I remember when I guesstimated that I was making 35k a year I got 800 dollar cash advances but the card took a few weeks to come in the mail but still you could probably send yourself some money.

Now that is rather theoretical and I didn't read what your income is but if it was 50 or 60 k a year I am sure the cash advance would be well over 1k. If it came down to getting my kneecaps broken and owing Visa money via paypal I would go with Visa via paypal.

They approved me in two minutes and I was just guessing how much I was hoping to make over the next year and was self employed and I think I put that down if I did have to check a box. I really don't remember as I had about 7 or 8 credit cards once and now I am down to two.

It is either that or make a porno. The gay ones pay twice as much btw. You can make maybe 400 bucks just to jack off on cam if your dignity is no longer a concern.

If you have any equity like a house, land, or a car you should be able to take a loan out against it.

Oh I thought you said you were gonna have your kneecaps broke and not that you didn't want anything that involved that so maybe not go with the credit fraud because Paypal Visa cards have horrible rates usually unless they are offering a special interest free time period.

So unless you want to fuck up your credit don't get a credit card if you can't pay it off. I was always able to pay off my credit cards and that got my credit rating higher doing that.

I hope everything works out for you. Maybe see if you can get an advance on your pay check or get a friend or family member to cosign on a loan that doesn't have horrid interests rates. The bank would be the place for that.

get a cash loan at cash converters or some other pawn place and put a piece of property down as collateral. got any gaming consoles, guitars, sound equipment, etc?
 
Actually the simpler thing seems to be to sell the assets I have left. I remembered yesterday I own a collection I could probably sell for a grand - though perhaps not in three days (haven't had any replies yet anyway). Maybe another $200 for some other items. $400 if I'm that desperate.

However, dopemaster's idea of PayPal appeals to me the MOST and I'm going to investigate it now. I can handle horrendous interest rates as long as it buys me enough time. The plan would be to pay the card off before it accrues too much interest (one of those scam 6-months interest free cards could do it; I'll cut it in half long before it crosses the 6 month mark) and in the meantime get back to work and start a new savings account.

Does that sound realistic? I'm not the most financially literate person.
 
just sell your stuff. that way you get the cash and no debt, and you get rid of some clutter too. with no debt, you set yourself up for a better chance to get out of the hole you're in.
 
i guess you could fuck 100 fat chicks for ten bucks a pop or 10 really fat chicks for 100... lol jp

for real tho thats a tough one, im assuming asking for a loan for your parents, family or friends is outa the question? but yea idk of any legal ways to make that much money that quickly... esp in aussie land... sry man, hope it all works out tho

LOL its basically the inverse for women, ugly woman pay more to bang a guy where as guys pay ugly women less. Why does the attractiveness of the guy not matter, no i think something is off here I think it depends on the attractiveness of the OP, I would explore the Paypal idea if thats the case....

Rubbish. If you can find me a male sex worker who actually charges more if the woman is "ugly", I will give you real actual Earth moneys. Most of them are barely scraping by because the market for men servicing women is so small.
 
By the way most you can get from cashies for a finance loan first time round whilst on the dole is $150 and the interest varies from 10 - 33%. They take this out in 2 payments usually.

Only other way is to find a finance institute that borrows against your car etc....
