Land of slow.
I need to come up with $3000, and I've set a deadline of 2 weeks, because I can't put it off any longer.

I want to take a trip to Vancouver to take voice lessons with an expert.

I've wanted to do this for years, but it was only a vague wish. I'm done procrastinating. Experts say we need to attach deadlines to our goals. So I've done that. But the how hasn't revealed itself to me yet, so I thought I'd ask for suggestions.

If you HAD to come up with $3000 in 2 weeks, and your life depended on it, how would you do it?
believe it or not your local casino. top dollar alone has potential payout of 3000. All you have to do is probably top up. You would have to start with 1500. Not impossible.

yes because cassinos are in the bussiness to loss money


But having a life does.

So you don't think it's achievable to come up with an idea worth $3k to someone else? Hmmmm.

you are already in 10k debt, you don't really have a life, you just lose control of it, and now are making sh!t up because you think you deserve it, with in reality you don't.

thing is why you want it? will you make money out of it? chances are you don't most singers who are paid don't know how to sing sh!t, so forget that, if you ahve sh!t to sell to raise said money you should do so to pay the debt, before that thing become 20k, what you should set as a goal if you want to have this so much is, getting real here and doing this the right way, not daydreaming about this

how much you pay each month in bill? how much you are paid?

get the paid - bills = extra

then get extra/2 half goes to pay your debt, other half for you "lessons"(you sure you can't take this sh!t around or over the internet?)

that is the goal you should set, goals can be anything timeline or actions need to do to get a certain result, 2 week for 3k you don't have is not a goal, it being a idiot

I don't know why there are so many naysayers and doubting Thomases in my thread. Is coming up with $3k in a few weeks really such a stretch for you guys?

And I actually just recalled this morning that I made about $3,000 in 2 weeks about 15 years ago. So it is possible. I've done it before. But what is the how this time? I wonder.

2 weeks ago the play would've been buying Twitter stock right before it pumped due to the Elon Musk news.

Currently the play would be to try and find out which crypto or stock is likely to go up soon (and most people don't know about it yet, buy the rumor and sell the news.) And buy it now.

Currently Twitter stock is at $49, when the Elon Musk deal goes through you will get $54 for each share you own.

$3000 profit would require you to buy 600 shares, or about $29,000 worth.

$3000 total would only require you to buy $2700 worth of shares.

Now let's talk about Activision Blizzard being purchased by Microsoft. MS is buying it at $95 a share, and currently ATVI is at 75.60. that's a $20 profit per share by next year or so if the deal goes through.

If you want to make $3000 in profit you'd need to buy $11,340 worth of ATVI shares now (150 shares)

if you want to have $3000 total, you'd need to buy $2400 worth of ATVI shares now (31.5 shares)

Good to see someone who's thinking. But it's not right for me. I have no capital at the moment. But I encourage you to pursue it.

With no significant starting capital your best and most likely only realistic option is to just work extra hours at your current job or get a side job for two weeks.

Do a few weekend dinner shifts as a bartender or server/waiter.

If you already owe $10,000 and would even consider go fund me as an option for further expenditures… this would indicate that you’re probably young and lacking a sense of value. Therefore, for the next two weeks, you should hang out at a brothel and turn some tricks for the money. This seems about as dignified.

Nah, GoFundMe was just one of the first ideas that popped into my head. But the first usually aren't the best. But it gets the creativity flowing. I've come up with other ideas since I've been investigating. And no, the solution to this problem is coming up with $3k worth of value for someone else.

But what I don't understand is why you seem so offended by a guy wanting to come up with a certain amount of money by a certain time. I see no reason to become belligerent about it.

He’s not offended or belligerent. As a few others before him have done, he’s talking real world knowledge and common sense.

Close to 98% of $$ is made by working or by using personally available $$ to produce more $$$.

Good ideas can also make money, but their implementation time is way beyond your self imposed time spectrum.

Nah, I've already stated I've made $3k in 2 weeks before, and just from an idea too. Here, it's only a matter of finding another good idea.

I would suggest spending more thinking time on it offline then. All great money makers stay focused on the current task.

I like to ask people for their ideas. More brains are better than just mine.

Is this not an acceptable question/thread for the money and wealth forum?

I see now, you’re depending on other people for the money making idea…
Good Luck with that

Street corner begging is a faster and better return on your time spent. It’s all in the cardboard sign advertising potency plus great wealthy neighborhood location…
Dressing the part is a must tho

Maybe. Who knows. I listen to people. You never know when they're going to come up with something amazing. Plus, I find when I ask people the question, as I've been doing a lot of recently, people put their brains to work, and often come up with something they could implement for themselves. I have a friend who's looking into starting a service business because I asked him the same question, and he came up with an idea he's using now that might change his financial future. You never know.

This question is interesting as a hypothetical thought experiment; a logic puzzle.

But in terms of anyone trying to answer in a way which is grounded in reality, it's almost a pointless question because of the position you're in (no starting capital, high debt, no loans/credit, etc.)

I think you need to expand your horizons. It's possible in my position. I've done it before, remember?

You wrote your original post last Wednesday. It’s now the end of Saturday. How much of the 3,000 have you accrued so far?

Almost 25% of your time is up. What value are you going to provide the world in the next 1.5 weeks in order to make your deadline?

Working on it.

Do whatever you did before then. How old are you?
It was through a partnership. I just looked the guy up today to see if maybe he wanted to do another deal, but he seems to have disappeared off the internet. I supplied the product; he supplied the customers. We split it down the middle and each made about $4000 in less than 2 weeks. But that's small peanuts compared to what some make, so I don't know why so many people are casting their doubts on me here.
