How Many Weeks Are Left Till Xmas?

How can I supplement my income by $500 in 2 weeks w/out working?

• I took 12 weeks off for the birth of my first baby. I recieved 65% short term disability for 8 weeks due to my c-section. I also had 2 weeks vacation at full pay. I have one week left until I go back to work and I don't have any more money to pay bills. I had to put my sisters xmas presents on a store card! My boyfriend has been generous and I only pay him $350 and he pays all the utility bills and $1095 rent plus food and I cant ask him to pay my bills (car, ins, cell, creditcards, student loan) but it's due in two weeks so even if I went back early I won't get paid on time!

  Good luck on this one. However, the best way to do it, if your crafty and patient enough, is to go to deal sites (I won't list any so I don't marked as spam. Just do a search for "daily deal sites") and take advantage of the coupons, free shipping that companies offer, and rebates etc. Obviously, you have to be picky and it takes practice to get in the Return on Investment groove. Once you find an item you can make a profit on, then sell it on eBay. eBay is a sellers market filled with suckers who get into the competitive spirit and pay over retail for an item, shipping included. Many folks don't comparative shop, so they just buy it on eBay thinking it's a deal. These are most likely people in the over 45 age bracket who have newbie internet experience. I'd go this route rather than earning $20 a day doing online surveys. Try a few lower price items first then move on up. You may even find it to be a reliable source of extra income and you learn something about business and supply and demand to boot.
