Urgent Help Needed: Ideas to Make Money Fast Without a Phone

[Fountainbleu]

Hey dear actualized community,

Hope everyone is doing well. To share a little- I’m in a tight spot right now and really need to make some money quickly. I’m basically at zero and don’t even have a working phone, which makes everything harder.  

I’ve tried a few things already—selling stuff I don’t need, offering odd jobs locally, and even brainstorming skills I could use online, but it feels like I’m hitting walls. People either don’t respond, or I can’t seem to get anything going.  

There’s also this weird resistance I’m feeling. It’s like I know I need to act fast, but I’m stuck in this fog of uncertainty and fear. Maybe it’s that I don’t want to make a wrong move, or I’m doubting if anything I try will actually work out.  

If you’ve been in a situation like this, what worked for you? Open to any ideas, even things I might not have thought of. Just need a way to break through this and get moving.  

Thanks so much in advance.

No such thing as making money fast. You can either:

1. Try again and again until after having lost money, time and effort, you recognize it was a total waste.
2. Find a normal job, even part-time, avoid spending in dumb ways, save money, and in the weekend and evenings work on something that adds value to the world, learn and study business books, and don't fall for get-rich-quick schemes.

Maybe the problem lies here. Why do you think the solution needs to come quick? 

Much of what is desirable to the labour market is hard to come by quickly. Desirable skills take years to acquire. 

Have you thought about bigger picture perspective? Are you lacking sufficient training or education? Could you be living in the wrong city / country? Do you need to finish College, complete a course to retrain etc? 

Is it possible that you have you trained your mind to only accept quick results? (e.g. listening to too much hustle culture content)

Thank you, I get you. But at the same time don't you think one can make it work regardless of their outside circumstances?

Move to Switzerland/Luxembourg. 

That's the fastest way to six figures.

Denmark could also work.

edit: (nevermind you're American) Switzerland is rigged for Europeans, it's actually quite racist against everyone else. *cough*- thank god *cough*
