What are some things you guys do in your spare time that can make money?

I really don't want to work part-time during school but it'd be pretty cool to have supplemental income doing something I like in my spare time. Looking for ideas :)

I own a pop machine. It makes me about 125 profit a month!

I also fix my buddies cars, but I dont charge much.

$50, I got it from my old boss who used to run it.

I put about 70 worth of pop in it every month, that pop sells for 200-250.

I just do it to have a pop machine at work and to have some extra gas money.

Poker! Unlike traditional casino games, you aren't at the mercy of a computer or pure random draws.

Yes you need a little luck with the cards but you can control the hands you play. A smart player with enough patience can easily hit and run at the casino to the tune of $100-300 every night.

Poker is the best game period.

Thats what I plan on doing, I've played poker for a while but not seriously, I figure there has to be a few fools down in Lethbridge with too much money.

LIFE AND DIE BY THE RIVER :D

I do IT Consulting on the side.. actually I did, until I found that my time was worth more..

wasn't worth my time to troubleshoot people's computers on weekends when I have a full time job and go to school at night.

Haha I should also note, no matter if it's 4/8 or 8/16 or 15/30 people will still chase! Bigger fish to fry in the river if they don't hit, that's all :D You make them pay! haha:guns: :thumbsup:
