conversation: User (chasingburns): "I thought I'd see what people do alongside their actual job to boost their income. With Christmas looming I thought now would be the time to ask. \n\nThis could be tips, blood donations, buying/reselling things. I just thought I'd ask as this is one of the most sensible subs I'm subscribed to. \n\nFor example I buy computers from Gumtree, craigslist, or Facebook then fix them up and sell them. Making £50-£100 profit per machine depending on what needs replacing as some people dont know what to do with them. \n\nI read a reddit comment about another redditor who uses /r/borrow and loans small amounts with reasonable interest amounts to other redditors and makes a steady amount there. \n\nA friend of mine has a rare blood type (really recommend finding out what blood type you are if you don't know) and donates it frequently for cash in hand. \n\nSo what do you do /r/personalfinance?\n"
  Self: "R/burrow sounds like a nice thing but that risk factor is too high for a cynic like me"
