anyting that can get a little cash to help retirement shortfall? Any ideas how to make a few bucks? I do manage to scrape by. Sometimes a few extra dollars would come in handy but I don't like delivering flyers or collecting cans and bottles. Giving blood seems a good idea? Kal.
You don't say where you are located. I have a lot of little jobs that need a handyman. We had such a terrible downpour yesterday that my gutter got detached from my roof. So, I need to call a gutter repair person. I sent a pic to my son and he said it's an easy fix but not for me.... You could also do online writing but don't think it pays too much plus you have to be a good writer, with good grammar.
I was just going to mention dog walker! Also, if you become a frequent poster on here our admin has drawings for $25 amazon gift cards usually twice a month, unless he stopped that.
I can't even hum dixie. Dogs don't like me. Gutter fix ? That means a ladder,don't think so. Writing? Not my forte. Think I'll check out selling blood.
You won't get paid for blood, just plasma. Here are 8 LEGAL ways to make money with your body. http://www.bankrate.com/finance/smart-spending/legal-ways-to-make-money-with-your-body-8.aspx
I gave 49 pints of blood, the bulk to the Royal Army Medical Corps blood unit at Aldershot. You can't sell blood over here in Blighty. Had to give up because I contracted diabetes. Grrrr.
I wasn't aware one could still sell blood or plasma. They shut down those places in NorCal like 15 years ago. Big ass needle hurts like hell, and will eventually scar the vein, making the going in and pulling out hurt even worse. These days one can only give blood to the Red Cross, who then sells it for like a $100 a bag. No thanks! Selling stuff on Ebay, Etsy, etc., seems like a possibility....less painful too.
As far as I know, the only way you can make money from blood is if you have something peculiar about your blood. If you should develop something called anti-e, you can make a good bit of money donating frequently. This is not used to give to people, but is used for testing and research. It seems when the clinics, hospitals and universities buy it, the serum sells for about $200 an ounce or thereabouts. Other antibodies are valuable, too, but I think that is the most sought after.
