Ask yourself what skills do you have that you can turn into income. Figure that out and go from there. You have to love it to really succeed at it.

There is a very easy way to find out... "nothin to it but to do it".... Give it a shot...no time like the present...go 4 it...sometimes you just gotta say "..what was I saying again?

you can deliver newspapers i think that pays about $500 to $700 a month. and you can do lawn care on top of it plus doing ebay. you can live with that. You need to find what you can sell. Look at papers there are auctions everyday. You can buy things so cheap and sell them on ebay. and yes you can make $600 easy on ebay if you work for it.

Of course you got to get up early to get them out of the mailboxes.
And it's not without risks, one guy chased me four blocks in his bathrobe.
Like a pro athlete, I had to retire when I lost a half-a-step.

Before you try this make sure you cover every angle three times. There will always be a hidden cost you missed. Owning a business is not cheap.

If you shoot for 300 you will have no cushin. Does this take into affect taxes and self employment taxes?
Effective cash management is necessary for self-employment.
I think you are setting yourself up for failure if you need to make 300 and are aiming for 300

Maybe on your side of the state. My truck payment is as much as your house and truck payment combined.

can I ask how old you are? The fact that your goal in life is to make $300 a week is baffling me. You mentioned you have a wife also...my better half would kick my *** if my goal was to only make $300 a week on income. I don't care how cheap cost of living is...unless youre living rent free, no truck payment, no insurance, yada yada...$300 a week just wouldn't cut it. I try to make that much in overtime every week just to save some extra money. Like dzervit said, what about retirement plan and saving extra money for those emergency situations where your septic pump or something stupid breaks and you need money to fix it. I was making more money than that in high school. I simply just don't understand this mentality.
