You’re obsessed with superhero movies, you want to get a degree in science and be like Sheldon Cooper, or maybe you just want the money to go to the biggest Comic Con in the United States and be able to fully enjoy all three days of it. Whatever your nerdy obsession is it isn’t free.
They say that money can’t buy you love, but money does warm hearts and put smiles on faces. They also say it’s the root of all evil, and while that may be so you simply can’t live without it at all these days. Just because money is tight doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to have a little fun and do the things you want to do every once in awhile.
If you’ve been wishing to buy that Deadpool bust for your fireplace mantle, or you’ve been planning your Lord of the Rings themed wedding for years now, there are ways you can get the money to make these dreams come true.
Get A Loan
While it may seem silly to get a loan to go to Comic Con you may want to get a loan if you want to go to college for a degree in science or if you want to take some classes on drawing and writing so that you can start your own comic book. Make sure that you have the income coming in so that you can pay your loan off in a timely manner and not end up in debt.
Crowdfund It
Once upon a time crowdfunding was just for people wanting to launch a business or needing help with their current business. Now there are all sorts of different crowdfunding sites and options. There is the chance to get money for medical issues, school, or to take your dream vacation. Use it for what you need and make your geek dreams come true.
Put It On Credit
Credit cards are much like loans, in the fact that you need to make sure that you pay them off on a regular basis to save money on interest fees. If you need some money for a trip or a gift for yourself you may want to simply apply for a credit card and use it. The more you keep it paid off the more you can use it for all the fun things you need and want.
Have A Sale Or Benefit
Another way to make some money that you don’t have to pay back is to sell off some things you already have and no longer need or enjoy. You could have a yard sale or even sell your items online. If you have vintage stuff you could sell it on Etsy, or if you have collectibles and electronics you could sell them on Ebay. Even Amazon is a good choice for getting money for the things you don’t want anymore.
