Working on making extra money/car trouble

August 10th, 2005 at 05:09 pm

I have been working on several ideas to make additional money...I have offered my translation services to my friends (they know I work, so they know that delivery times won't be the same as if I were working on it full time!)...I am knitting baby boots to sell as part of the $20 challenge...

Aside from that, and for money to be put to "regular" use (aka paying debts!), I'm working with my cousin to sell toys and we have also brought all my parents stuff out of storage to see what we are going to keep and what can be sold...(also, some things were broken, so we had to throw them away!)

The bad thing is, my car is heating up -again!...Now, I've decided not to invest $0.01 more in that...(I just spent $350 in May!!)...I'll carry 3 gallons of water around to cool/refill the radiator and that is it!... A frien of my cousin's, who is a mechanic, said some time ago that he might be interested in buying it for his daughters...so they learn how to drive...well, if he buys it, I'll sell it!...

There is an option to buy a used car (more debt, I know! I'm not happy about it!) ...but, honestly, public transport here is NOT an option...way too dangerous!...especially since I often leave the office after dark... Frown

Well, we'll see what happens!

    Do you think there's a leak in your radiator? My mechanic told me to pick up a bottle of "stop leak" to put in it. He said for minor things, it will work great and "buy" you several more months to a year without repairing/replacing the radiator.

    hey, thanks! I'll look into it!....there are plans for a new company building for end of last year, that will be about 10 blocks from my house, so, if I can keep my car "alive" till then, I wouldn't really need it!
