I've come for your nuts
Ways to avoid getting squirrel-gripped:
- Chase up your tight-arse mate/s for all that beer money they owe you
- Become a competitive eater with a crazy popular YouTube account
- Sell some of your stuff on eBay or Gumtree. (After all, the average household has $5,400 worth of unwanted stuff lying around! Who knew?)
- Buy second hand from eBay or Gumtree
- Take in a boarder, or rent out a room on AirBnB
- See if your folks can spot you for a bit. Go on, ask nicely
- Help Beryl around the corner with her gardening, or earn $$$ through AirTasker
- Borrow whatever you actually want to buy from a mate
- Shop around for cheaper gas, electricity, insurance, broadband etc. Switching might just save your nuts
- Request a bill extension from your utility provider
- Ask your employer for an advance on your wages
- Actually squirrel away your savings and save up for it
- There's nothing cute about fast loans that charge you up to 400% interest. So do 'Anything Else', seriously, anything else, apart from getting a fast loan (aka payday loan, aka 'small' loan) before you find yourself calling the National Debt Helpline on 1800 007 007
