If you were in desperate need for money....

[Sled]

I've seen somebody telling you to play gambling to earn instant huge amount money. It might look okay, but, as you can all guess, you most probably will lose the last money you have. So don't. If you don't have a job currently, go outside and find one.

It's not okay to me because instead of getting what you need, you are just adding another problem. Gambling will lead you to another need of money because if you will stay in gambling for a longer time it will give you lose, it's not a good choice if you are desperate in need for money.

Gambling will not get you somewhere because it will just waste your money from being addict to the games that you are playing to gain some money. Gambling is not a good idea for a person who is looking for money because the only people that go to gambling sites are people who got extra money and want to have some fun and not a person that is desperate for money because it will just turn him even more desperate.

I can understand a huge gamble (borrow money, double or nothing) if you're in a life and death desperate situation but I've another idea: hire out your body for a signature campaign. I believe tattoos have been done in the past. Maybe a crypto-inspired body signature camp.

All bad ideas are still good publicity.

Yeah it will give you another headache if ever you will fail on your hope to get the money that you are thinking that is going to be possible with gambling. It's better if you have some savings on your bank account, just use it so that you can pull something to your bank account when this kind of time happens to you.

the best way to earn money in emergency is working i think. i haven't been desperate need of money but if that happens i will try to take as many part time jobs as i can because it surely give me money quickly although the amount is not big. And in my free time i will try to find as many as signature campaign, facebook campaign or everything i can do to earn myself even a little amount of money.

I think finding a job for a way out is not the right thing. Because usually looking for a job will take a long time and the salary will be given after you work 1 month?

Exactly said, at times of desperate money requirement finding a job and using the income is not at all a possible solution. Most of the time I used to prefer getting loans or get money from the friends and family by submitting proper collateral. Some prefer gambling which too is the right decision, because only the lucky user gets benefited.

I've never seen someone needing money, gambling the little money left on him. What for? To earn profits? It's proven that only the house makes money from gambling. Only the lucky user gets all the benefit, are you the lucky user? Most of the time it's no one. It's the house themselves. Gambling can give you good amount of money for a very short period of time. On the other hand, gambling can also make you lose all the money that's left on you regardless if you're in desperate need of money or not. Loaning is much better and then just paying it slowly.

Absolutely right, in gambling we will only look at the gains are temporary. Because I am sure they are profiting in gambling will always think in order to get a greater advantage and it will give a bad impact if indeed they do gambling is greater than ever. gambling is indeed profitable and make money, but gambling also requires a strategy, if you can't play with strategy then everything will end badly

If I am in desperate need of money then I will sell some of my bitcoins which can give me hard cash in my hands which can take care of situation in the best possible way and it is better to sell them instead of borrowing from friends and family.

[Dimelord]

If i have an emergency situation,then i would try to get a loan from my relatives or my friends.If still im unable to get,then i would have to sell my bitcoins to get the required money.Same thing happened when i suddenly returned from abroad to my country.I had 0.27 btc as savings in my wallet.No other option available and so i just sold it to solve that situation.

I agree to this and see someone close to me who is desperate need in money and gamble the remaining money he has and end up broke. As for me I have joined some groups that will help me and offer some jobs in Bitcoin then they will pay me back. You know its hard to work alone and sometimes you can find the answers to other people that's why you are asking in the first place or so as they say that no man is an island.

Gambling isn't really the question in money despiration. Yet, the best way if you are really desperatr in money and you don't have enought savings, loaning is better so than you can owe that program/person as long as you have a time to pay day yet it should have a due date.

[OrangeII]

Maybe right now, I'll borrow money if I really need it. Well, but maybe in an easy amount for me to return. Maybe if it's a lot of money, maybe pawning something valuable becomes safer, because it can cover up my mistake, if I can not replace the loan.

[virasisog]

If I am in desperate need of money then I will sell some of my bitcoins which can give me hard cash in my hands which can take care of situation in the best possible way and it is better to sell them instead of borrowing from friends and family.

Yes thats a good thing ,but somehow if your bitcoins are not enough to your needed amount of money ?
For me its good to borrow first so your bitcoins is safe then if you can't return the money thats the time you can sell your bitcoins. So in that particular time maybe the price of bitcoins is even more higher than you sold earlier.

Selling or Borrowing is not a good solution for people who are in desperate need of money. As a person who looks into the future the best that they can do is have an emergency fund prepared for those kind of situations. I know it is hard to set aside a big lump of money that is just sitting there without earning something, but that is how emergency funds work their purpose is only to be used when you really need the money to spend on from losing a job to an emergency medical care you should adjust how much you put in it depending on what emergency you have.

Indeed, gambling will not help you to solve that problem and yet, it might worsen the situation. I suggest if you have enough savings you could use it or if you have bitcoins you could convert it into cash. Having an emergency fund will be helpful in that kind of situations.

[cheezcarls]

To tell you honestly, I am now relating to this because I'm at the worst point of my life now. It all started when my sister booked me and my family for an expensive vacation without my permission and it's going to be a couple of days away, and I am forced to pay for a grand total of $200+. My dreams were shattered because of that compulsory and forced payment whether I like it or not, because I have a goal during that time.

The reason I have a financial problem is this:

I have a debt for a grand total of $200 from my freelance work and I want to refund them because I don't think I can do it anymore. I am not motivated to do this type of work anymore, and I want myself to be free from this mess by paying this debt. I don't want to work with them anymore, so I have to refund them as long I can come up with this amount. The problem is that I only have a very limited income source and was down to less than $100 in my bank account for survival. I lose money paying bills, compulsory contributions, personal expenses, etc. Plus, my parents aren't supporting me anymore financially. My sisters had their own stable jobs, so I'm the poorest member of the family.

I'm not planning to look for an 8 to 5 job because even if I'm poor, I can't see myself working to make my boss rich and not me. Freelancing is okay for me because of time flexibility and no time-in and time-out card. Entrepreneurship is in my blood.

This is what I am going to do as I'm desperate in money now.

1. I sold my 2-year old basic phone for $2 only (I'm not using it anyway because it's worn out, and yes it was sold). I will plan to sell old stuff in my house for a few bucks just to survive.
2. Will plan to deposit 200,000 satoshi to my BTC wallet and follow a proven Bitsler method I learned from Youtube without being greedy that could potentially earn me up to $48/day. I can afford to lose this anyway. Still waiting for their confirmation.
3. Finished my writing gig and earned $20 today, and I'm writing another one for $10. I'm offered a weekly gig. - DONE
4. Planning to sell my 2-year old unused Warrior Forum account, but still looking for buyer.
5. Planning to sell my 5-year old League of Legends account with Ultimate and Legendary skins (PH server), but still looking for buyer. I'm playing SMITE and Paladins now, so I'm lazy and not planning to play League of Legends anymore.
6. I'm in a health industry, so I'm selling quality vitamins. I have 3 sets left in me and could give me up to $15 in profit per sale. Since the market here in my area are only on a low budget, I would offer to sell them piece by piece. Even if I'm in a vacation, I would bring my vitamins to sell it (not hard selling) to tour guides or meet new people there.
7. I wanted to loan but I have no reputation here yet and no collateral to offer. My parents, sisters and friends would not lend me because they're still looking at my past and thinking that I am still the same guy as before. If not, I may ask for donation for those people with a good heart to help, no matter how small the amount is.

You say Entrepreneurship is in your blood and that's great, but most people get their capital to start their entrepreneurial things from a 8 to 5 job.

From the sounds of it you are from the Philippines and your English is perfect, what kind of Freelance work did you do? Because you can do Freelance work as a virtual assistant with your language abilities and it would earn much more than the sums you have been talking about here.

Selling your online assets like your account in LoL is a good short term solution but it doesn't offer you long term stability, the same for selling your vitamins. Bitsler methods also don't work $48/day is a pipedream. Writing gigs sounds like your only decent longer term solution plan to your problems. I've been in your kind of mess and it doesn't get better with short term solutions, in the end you will either end up doing that 8 to 5 job you hate the idea of or you will become a mooch on other people.

I understand but here's another problem. No one is going to hire me because of few things:

1 -  My transcript of records is very, very, very ugly. I have so many "reds" and the companies I inquired in a job fair won't accept me due to this. I tried to look for work, but after I applied they don't call or schedule me for interview. Some did schedule me for interview and tests, but they decided not to hire me afterwards after spending so much in requirements.
2 - I have to wait until October to take the professional civil service exam to be eligible in working for the government. However, I still have the feeling of not seeing myself working in an office and I don't want to follow my parents' footsteps. I would rather do some field work than just sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours with a fixed rate aside from commission or sales-based only.

About my freelance work, it's more on guest posting and outreach. Instead of me doing the guest post, I usually outsource or arbitrage it to others while I do the outreach part (kind of boring). The problem is that the team of writers I use are just demanding money from me even if their English is not good and my clients aren't satisfied and won't pay me for this. As a result, I have to cover funds to my writers for their efforts) and decide not to use them again. It's a lesson learned about picking a writer carefully. It's a bulk order, so I lost a lot of money from it. Now my bank account is almost empty.

Two years ago, my friend from Australia hired me directly as an online-based senior customer relations manager in his VA company. I managed 40+ Filipino workers there, and most of them liked me being their manager because I knew how to lead well and connect with them. I only lasted for almost 5 months, and most of them don't like me to go. Out of all the managers in the company, they say I'm the best because of how much I cared for them rather than treating them as working bots. Other co-managers in the company didn't like what I've been doing, but they didn't know that being a leader knows how to connect with people that could end up in a long lasting friendly relationship. I resigned due to health reasons, because I worked like 8 to 16 hours a day (other managers are absent, so I have to fill in without any complains).

From there, I only survived by doing freelance stuff whenever I can. But it seems I'm a bit tired of writing something that I don't love. I usually love writing about video games, eSports, etc., which is my real passion. For now, I'm just sick and tired of having a miserable and unlucky life.

It's not okay to me because instead of getting what you need, you are just adding another problem. Gambling will lead you to another need of money because if you will stay in gambling for a longer time it will give you lose, it's not a good choice if you are desperate in need for money.

Gambling will not get you somewhere because it will just waste your money from being addict to the games that you are playing to gain some money.

In gambling, you can get money, but there much depends only on luck. Although if you consider the bet on sports or poker, you can think through the strategy well and get a good win.

[Yanisumin]

Playing gamble games if you are in desperate need for money is not recommended because there is a high chance to leave you zero balance. Let's say you just borrow the money you're going to use in gambling and hoping that it will multiply instantly but the result went against as you expected so you will only have more debts.

Definitely.
If you're thinking gambling as a one way ticket to a large pile of money then it can be but it cannot. It's a game of chance and we don't know if you're going to win. You will have a lower chances too because you're having so much pressure and there's a large chance that it will affect your every move in the game.

If I were in desperate need of money, I'll ask from family and friends. Then I will try to find a job. So that I'll be able to return their money. Finding a job would be a better solution in such cases than trying some shortcuts.

Of course. You can ask your family and close friends. This is also a good chance to know who really are true to you. Some are just there when you have some but if you don't and you're in the need of money, they don't help you.

But remember the rules in lending.
Make up for the money and pay it as soon as possible.
Help and lend those who are in need when you have more than enough. Law of karma. What goes around comes around.

If we really need money or bitcoin. Maybe we should apply for a job to a willing company so we can make money. Then maybe we can invest our money for bitcoin.

[ekoice]

If you were in desperate need for money / Bitcoins, what would you do? How to get it, earn it, whatw are your solutions and experiences? I wonder what people are ready to do when money is the problem.

If i have a desperate need for money,then i would ask a loan from my relatives or friends.If i am unable to get,then i would try to get loan from bank.If i fail in that effort also,then i would try to sell one of my costly stuff to solve the problem.

As stated most of the time I too prefer going for a loan when I was in desperate need and my neighbours and friends ignore to help. Probably I used to get loan placing gold as the collateral as it's the most valuable asset that has got acceptance as collateral in my locality.
