What the lowest, or most pathetic, or most desperate things you've done for money, to save money or because you had no money...
Come one, be honest...no judgement.

I've been pawning stuff. That could change very shortly though =/-
new job? or running out of stuff to pawn? -
running out of things to pawn
-
Sell your horns! One at a time...anticipation heightens value! -
the only thing I have to pawn is my very old TV
-
-
I've thought about selling pets into prostitution...does that count?-
Is that like dog breeding?
-
I didn't name it. I just dressed them up kinda slutty and told them not to scratch at the back door until they had my money.
-
wow!! lol -
lol... that is hilariously
-
-
Steal food from supermarkets.-
Steal pets from pet stores...and then sell them into prostitution.
-
I hate to admit but yes I've stolen when I was broke
-
-
I'm thinking real hard and I can't come up with anything. If this had been about my relatives I could have. I borrowed $500 from my mom once and I paid her back so it doesn't count.-
yeah that doesn't really count
-
-
dug through couches and cars for enough money to buy some mac & cheese, milk and butter so we could eat over the weekend until we got paid. my ex and i used to steal smokes from his parents, as well as raid their freezer/cupboards when they weren't home.
-
Me and my first room mate (I was 17) did that. We would pretend to visit our parents together and stick food and toilet paper into our cloths and purses. It was half hilarious half kind of shameful...lol.
-
oh yeah I have a penny bank in my room
-
-
I pawned some old jewelry for gas money once.
-
Actually the lowest, most pathetic thing I did for money was work at a job. Fortunately, I recovered my self-esteem and retired.
-
Yeah, I've done that, too. Craziness...
-
I know working for your money is the worst feeling there is lol
-
-
I tried to sell a ring that an ex gave me but the shop wouldn't take it because it didn't have enough gold, I was counting on some money, only to find out how cheap my ex was, jajajaja.-
lol!!! I guess you should just give that away to a complete stranger.. You might make their day
-
-
I borrowed money.-
I've been meaning to ask you about that.
-
I have been avoiding you because of it.
-
-
Pawn Shop is the way to go! 8-( -
Lunch off the dollar menu at McD's.-
so been there and counting pennies to do it.

You all are saying pawning is bad.
It isn't.
You are paying a high percentage if you want to get your things back - it's a garage sale kinda thing.
It isn't bad at all.
Kings and Queens have pawned things.
Methinks the Hope Diamond has been pawned a few times.
Pawning isn't a bad thing - it helps you get out of a bad situation or gives you extra spending cash when you need it.-
It's bad when it's your only source of income. And run out of things to pawn
-
Or if you're pawning loved ones.
-
Brian - you're just pawning off your little sluttly-like pets because they aren't bringing in enough money...
*wink*

I have sold off antiques (that sat here and collected dust) and farm animals (16 pigs are still here so I nmade no dent)
My step kids write checks for the check into cash places or the title loan places and then give them my number so when they dont pay they call me.
I thought about selling my hubby but someone would bring him back because he is so picky at feeding time. My kids eat better than he does. lol-
What's a good hog go for these days, anyway?
-
haha $50 for a weenier pig and $250 to $400 for on topped off and ready to go to the slaughter house
-
snort, weenier pig
-

Back in my teen years, I ran away from home. I would make men think I was going to sleep with them (or actually go through with the deed) just to have a place to stay.
So glad those days are behind me.-
Was that you? I knew that striped blouse looked familar.
-
It was me and thanks, your pillows were the coziest.
-
My pleasure. I'm glad I finally learned your real name. I thought Greta Garbo was a little suspicious.
-
It was either that or Hilda Hergendorf.
-
That was the young runaway I picked up the next night
-

about a decade ago when i was working janitorial, I was so broke that I would eat packaged non-perishables that people would throw away.-
I ate a frostbitten handful of peas in a can of Franco-American gravy while I was in college...and then smoked three cigarettes I found behind the fridge (from the last tenant).
-
the worst time, I ate a muffin that was in a wrapper, and sitting in plain view in the person's office wastebaket. Then I dumped the can and noticed a feminine product in there... IN HER OFFICE TRASH!!!!
-
-
in 2002 I pawned $9k worth of jewelry for $750.. talk about a friggin loss!!! -
Had to consider the reality of needing to give my kids up to foster care because we couldn't make ends meet. It was DEVASTATING to me, that I could not afford a gallon of milk to feed our eldest, who was 2, and was breastfeeding the newborn. A friend bought me some milk and I went to the library and checked out EVERY book on how not to be poor. That moment changed my life.
-
That's seriously broke, Dani. I'm curious as to how that moment changed your life? These type of stories really pique my interest. Have you written a post about it anywhere that I could read?

I promised to have sex w/ my husband for 100$. I kept my word and he didn't keep his =( I still resent him for that, lol!-
Send him a bill, with interest

-
the most desperate thing I've ever done for money is Blog
-
PayDay loans! I don't recommend it and will never ever ever do that sh** again...lol -
I was so broke in college at one point (from being a bum) that I applied at Target on a whim while shopping there. I got hired the next day and began my shameful experience as the only other student at my university to work at Target (this after previously having worked as a mortgage loan officer). I then comitted seppuku.
