Any ideas

Good Evening,

Any ideas on how I can make around £8000 to clear my debts. Sick of them hanging round my neck.

Many thanks in advance

James

    Yes I have. Sit down with a pen and notebook and start at the beginning of this thread and read through to the end. All the ideas you need are already on here, it just takes a bit of your time to go through them

    Also do the same with the threads concerned with minimising your outgoings, keeping interest rates on your debts low etc.

    And when you've done all that, put some of them into action immediately. There's no quick fix however.

    Do you have any marketable skills? If so you could put an advert on a classifieds site like gumtree and see what happens. I can type at 70 wpm and have done data entry work before so put an ad on for that. I am also CRB checked and have an NVQ and experience working with children so put an ad on offering babysitting.
