Well, it feels so nice to see that people are getting some extra cash to pay off debts. apart from ebay and delivering pizzas, why not rent a portion of the house? if one has some space to spare, say even a room there are many to take it. look at the amount of students who are moving to another city and the first thing they look for is accommodation. so if you can offer lower charges than the hostels, they are sure to take it up! and if you dont want others coming and staying in your house you can just rent the space for a day time workshop for kids. what's more, if you have a particular talent say, singing or sewing, you can take sunday classes yourselves. you will manage quite a few bucks in this way! and if you can get your family to join you in this, that's great! some one try it out and do let us know! good luck everybody!
