It would be best to make your next $100 doing something honest and legit, but for those looking to squeeze an extra for dollars out of almost nowhere…

1) Dumpster dive for bottles

At 5 cents a pop, you only need 2000 empty beers to reach $100.



2) Theft from loved ones

One of the easiest jobs around. Just don’t get caught.

3) Cash in as an independent rock musician

Find 3 pals, practice for months, record an LP, tour 25 cities, and hope to sell 45 CDs.

4) Circular math

Lend yourself $120 from your long-term savings, pay yourself back a down-payment of $20, and record the tranaction on a napkin of your choice, take another shot of JD, and be sure to discard the napkin as soon as possible.

5) Prostitution

Find a local bar where people hang out that are 20 - 30 years older than you. If you can’t walk out with $100, you don’t know how to make $100.

Or, now there’s online prostitution too: Safe for work article from Alternet

6) “Protection” money from neighborhood children

$5 a week for you to NOT beat up a local kid x 20 kids = $100 per week. Recurring income potential.

7) Palladium rustling

Platinum & palladium are good for catalytic converters. Find 5 large vehicles (preferably SUVs - cars that need more pollution control carry more of the precious metal), cut out the catalytic converter, and laugh your way to $100.

8) Work 7.69 hours at an Alberta McDonalds

That’s right - the job market is so hot in Canada that brand new burger-flippers, fry cookers, and drive-thru window operators are making $13 an hour. Starting wage. Actually, this might be the best option from this entire list…

9) Think up a good joke

Send your joke to Readers Digest and hope for the best.

10) Piracy

Find a deserted highway or spot on the open seas, practice your accent, and watch the money happen.



11) Set up a mobile pay toilet

Dirty work, but set up shop next to a concert, ball game, or outdoor event, advertise as having “the cleanest seat in town”, and charge $5 for 5 minutes. Make $100 in less than an afternoon.

12) Buy gold

Throw $100 USD at gold, wait 30 days, then trade your gold back for USD. WIth today’s rate of currency colapse, making a spare $100 is almost guaranteed.

13) Bet against the Toronto Maple Leafs

Always a safe bet.



14) Set up a fake online business

Set up a system for people to pay you money for something you may or may not end up doing. Best if done if you do not live in a country with fraud charges or the rule of law.

15) Invest $2857.14 at 3.5% interest.

Thanks to Fedhead Ben, compound interest now almost pays for your banking transaction fees.

16) Clean out the vacuums at a local car wash

Most automotive vacuum cleaners hold at least $5 in change by the end of an average day. I even found a $20 in a vacuum one time. You’ll have to rinse off your findings, but this is some of the easiest $100 around.

Bonus #17) Google “$100 Prize”

There are lots of contests & competitions for a $100 prize. Who knows, you just might win something. But personally, I’d stick to something more tried and true.

Awesome :P

Here's another one:

Get a real statue and put it around some busy area of town, and put a hat/bucket at the bottom with some money in it.  Come back at the end of the day to see how much is left in there.  Repeat.
