“Wow I knew things were bad but that is such a low amount not to be able to come up with in a month?”

The sad thing is that the folks answering that they couldn’t come up with it, didn’t even default with the thinking of getting a second job or selling something.

ANYONE could come up with 2K in 30 days by delivering pizzas or selling some of their extra “stuff” on e-bay.

Really???? That seems a bit unrealistic. You get minimum wage which is practically zero dollars. So basically you are hoping for 2 grand in tips. I don’t think that this is possible.

Seriously? You can net 2K/month delivering pizzas part-time? I may have to look into that.

I know a number of young families that couldn’t come up with an extra $2k. It would be really hard if not impossible for them to get another job or sell much that is worth 2k.

Though I agree that is is a sad thing, you seem to be out of touch with the reality.
For many, getting a second job is impossible.
Their primary jobs may already require working extra hours or traveling, or there may be children at home to care for.
Plus, in many areas, there simply are no jobs.

If you seriously think you can clear 500 bucks a week delivering pizza, I would love to see you try.

There are are quite a few (2 of my young adult kids) who don’t own 2 grand worth of stuff to sell on ebay or anywhere else.

Again, you are right, it is a sad thing.

Oh? Don't get me started.

Sorry, my FRiend, but that just isn't true --- I'm speaking from experience.

Empathically, NO...you cannot make (clear, take home, save) $2000 in two months by selling your ‘stuff’ on eBay and delivering pizzas as a second job.

And anyone who believes so, or believes that anyone living ‘hand to mouth’ is lazy, has ‘big screen tvs and cell phones’ etc., has lived a truly blessed life.

Any family is one major illness away from the situation described. Sadly I know this first hand.
