I need to raise £270 by mid august to pay the rent. What's the quickest legal way I can raise that money?

Answer 1

I don't think there is any one way. Will you be able to pay the rent in mid-September? If not, you should find a cheaper place to live.

If this is a one-time emergency, here are some things you can do -- they add up.

Sell your old books, CDs, DVDs, etc. Try on-line first, then go to a local shop if necessary.

Get a part-time job if you already have a full-time job. If you choose carefully, you should have a paycheck by mid-August.

Are you crafty? Maybe you can make something out of stuff you have around the house, and sell that.

If this is a one-time financial crisis, you can try borrowing the rest of the money. Be sure you get the job/sell the junk so you can pay them back before the next rent is due!! Otherwise, you will get a bad reputation, and people will start avoiding you.

You could also try contests. This is a form of gambling, but usually it only costs postage to enter, and may be worth a shot. Not just "win a trip to Hawaii" kind of contests, but poetry, short story, art contests. You can re-sell the prizes.

After you figure out something for right now, start reading financial books about how to take care of your money and save for a rainy day! Try not to get into this situation again!

Answer 2

You probably have a lot of "stuff" lying around your place that you no longer use nor need--including old jewelry, books, coins, furniture, etc. Gold and silver will go for the going rate of that day per ounce....if you have rings with stones--go to a jewelry pawn shop- you'll get a decent amount of money--and don't forget clothes and sporting equipment, if all else fails--you may qualify to sell plasma--but there's a waiting period from when you apply and finish testing you before you can actually give plasma and get paid for it.........there's always a payday loan--at least we have those sort of places in the US--you get an advance for 2-4 weeks until your next paycheck--good luck to you..........we also have the Red cross in the US that would help people out in need---sorry, I don't know what they have in your country- but I know it's not the US because of the type of money.....check your government agencies.

Answer 3

Get a job. I am guessing that in USD it is about $540.00. You need to get a good paying job. Good Luck!

Answer 4

Work and earn a paycheck.
