    Are you rich?
    If you are I would like to know how you became rich?
    The Problem: I would like to buy this car (Please see attached photo)

    I need to raise about 35 000 South African Rands or ($ 5,300 ) quickly before the car is sold to someone else!
    Any inspired thoughts or ideas on how to make money quickly? I have a good job but pay around half of my salary off on my flat. Or do you know anyone that is so rich that can give me a bit? ;)

    Kind Regards

    Shaun G

    No one's going to give you money for nothing.

    Try selling cookies :-)

    ... or take out a small loan.

    I lived like a dog for many years in a tiny apartment saving every penny I could until the interest and sound investments on my savings started paying for things.

    Hard work and not working for someone else also helps. "Do what you love and the money will follow."

    If you are paying 1/2 of your pay for a place to live that is your main issue, esp if you make a "good" wage.

    So at this point you really can't afford to buy a car. You need to work out a budget esp were your apartment is not over 1/4 of your income. You then need to set up a savings program.

    Also working a 2nd job is very normal and sometimes even other odd jobs along with the 2nd job.

    If more education will get you a better job, you work hard to increase your education.
