    Sell my shirt to my dad for $40. I’m pretty sure he’d rather buy my shirt than explode.

    Depends how you define “make”

    If standard pay from job is too late, then I’d sell a CSP or CC from my brokerage account and I technically “made” the premium

    If that’s not urgent enough, take some jewelry to a pawn shop and hock it

      Right? 3 hours is $288. Any other families that need not exploding?

    Go to work for an hour

    Take my bottles to the depot

    Ask a buddy to spot me 40

    Sell a couple things

    … check my bank account?

    $40 isn’t that much money…

    Grab all the canned stuff I made at home, and either just ask my mother to buy all them for 40 (a family member can pay me, right?) or convince the family friend who loves the candied jalapeños to buy them.

    40 dollars? That’s all? I’m salaried and can work any hours I want to, so I guess I’m logging in at work and writing a few lines of code or answering some emails.

    Twenty minutes will do it. Probably round it up to half an hour just to be safe. And honestly, if I get into the zone, an hour will fly by, easy.

    I would just ask my brother to give me $40. I think he would probably do that to avoid exploding.

    Go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

    Needless to say I’m not too fond of my family…
