What do you guys do for extra cash on the side?

[drkaje]

I try to cut back on spending, tbh. Cigars and scotch are not cheap passions.

Ask my wife for money.

Strip down to thong, grease up, and pose for old men.

Steal some $20's from my mom's purse

$50's from that "secret" spot in the closet. Had to have some coin as a non-working teen.

I let hot chicks fuck my cock for money.

I've been busy planning the Craig Titus comeback tour.   It's all lined up, just waiting for ol' Craiggers to return.   IFBB ain't even ready.

That's hard work. Do you get any kind of insurance or anything?

I know a guy who's 43 and does this.   Grosses 60-70k.  For that line of work, I think that's good.

i play in bands and make 300 to 500 per man for the corporate shows.  Make 150 to 250 per man for the dive bar shows.  and tips  4 to 5 hours total work, setup/play/breakdown.  And I thought I had it nice until I saw what the bartenders made lol.  

the bartenders make more money on good nights. $600 a man on some of the kickin Friday nights.  Lots of 20$ tips add up.   BUT they also have to sit through all of the shitty 2pm to 12am shifts in the outdoor bar in the florida summer heat, which is basically 94 degrees with no wind, and the only customers are old drunk people who live there.  They earn, but they work for it.

After Yankee games, sometimes we'd go to Wollensky's Grill in NY.  Lots of Wall St guys.

We knew the bartender - he made over 200k annually.  $1000+  / night in tips routinely, even on weeknights.

yep.  at the dive places, most drink all night while they work, so I imagine it's not that miserable of a shift
There are bad nights, of course.  Band $ is guaranteed, but aside from our tips jar, we cannot earn the limitless like they can.
Some nights, there are just stacks and stacks of 20s... they do well.  they have to work thru some very hot days/nights.

I don't think I could do it... pretend to care what some whiny vaping idiot is crying about as he bitches about his woman while hitting on 40 simultaneous girls on his phone.   People are just too punchable.  With music, I can tune them out and just play and have fun.  When they do get too involved onstage, I do get cranky now and then, but usually only the super-drunk will interrupt a live show with suggestions or whatever.

A lot of that is tax free.  Would have be a moron to report cash earnings to the last penny.

I don't report 75% of my personal training $$$ (which is my side gig)

Close to $12k I don't report.

EDIT: The reason the other % gets reported is so that I can write off a TON of expenses. (Mileage, Car Expenses, Supplements, Work Clothing aka Gym Clothes, Education, etc etc.)

post on getbig

After each 50 posts, I collect a small stipend from a special getbig fund to "cease and desist" for a few weeks.

[Voice of Doom]

All my primary income is divided up into bills, family and saving for a house.  I do IT support and project mgt on the side for a few clients.  My side money finances my hobbies and is off limits to the family.

Absolutely.  Even reporting half of it, he'd be fine.

[johnnynoname]

no...I pay my own monthly premium of 330

it's a family restaurant and I'm from a very close Italian family...the weird thing is they now about almost all the shit I've done and STILL love me

anyway- If I'm ever short money my mom will always front it too me so I can't complain on that front

but I still work my ass off

If I had a more comfortable car I would definitely do this. I drive for a living as it is so would be a no brainer.
