I hear pan-handling is a great tax free low effort way. I mean all you need to do is learn how to write a poorly written sign and stand on the street corner.

Just so you know without leading a life of crime there are no easy sure fire ways to make money without getting a job. First off you need money to really make money. Its all a process that takes getting a suck ass job first so you can save money. Unless you inherit money. But thats only a very small percentage of us. Best advice is to take some money managment courses and stick to it. Get your self a job you can tolerate for a few to five years. Save a bit and go into business for yourself.

Its illegal to sell your blood now...But my brother use to sell his seamen in San Francisco every week, luckily he is blessed with an abnormally high sperm count so he could donate quite frequently. Of course he was ostracized from the family when my ultra conservative Catholic grandparents and uncle found out but still forty bucks a week for two minutes worth of work ain't too shabby.
It is all good

I need money now!

I was thinking of going around and asking donations for a fake charity but then I realized how low that was.

I hate the morals that I do have.

Here are a few (legal ways):

[1]Look in the change repositories of payphones, vending machines, etc.
[2]Take pennies from the "take a penny, leave a penny" jar.
[3]Sweep the ground with a metal detector, looking for dropped change.
[4]Beg.
[5]Get on a gameshow. Win.
[6]Sell your soul on eBay (seriously!).
[7]Sell fictional people's souls on eBay.
[8]Go to school your entire life (you don't have to pay back student loans as long as you are still in school).
[9]Win the lottery (this one takes a small weekly investment - use money earned above to cover these costs).
[10]Spill coffee on your lap and file a lawsuit. (See the Stella Awards (http://www.main.org/mowwaustin/stella_a.htm).)
[11]Win the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes.
[12]Pray to God you will win the Lottery or the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes.
[13]Purchase a mint.
[14]Turn in recyclables like bottles and glasses for a cash refund.
[15]Collect luggage carts at the airport and return them to their station (25 cent refund for each one!)

Well I'm out of ideas. If anyone can add to the list, feel free.

Why is getting a job not an option?

Assuming you're underage and can't work, just pawn some of your parents' posessions, or steal someone else's and pawn those. Surely you can walk or bike to a pawn shop, without getting a ride from an adult, yes? Good luck..

I get the feeling the answer to this may be along the lines of "I'm too lazy". It's why I don't have one...that, and I'm a student, so I get to 'sponge off the state'. I don't actually do that, but it seems to be the general public's opinion of students. Bastards. I'm going to be thousands of pounds in debt when I leave university.

Now for me, getting a job is actually not an option, as it tends to be when you're severely mentally ill and you don't have even a high school diploma. Guess how I get money? Leeching of my rich dad. Unfortunately, that doesn't work forever. I used to have a really good book on getting free stuff, but I lost it, and it's rather a shame since the book is out of print, and I can't even remember the title.

On a similar note, what was that book by Abbie Hoffman...
"Steal This Book", I think it was called? I've never read it, but people tell me it has useful info. I'd think it would be out of date partially by now, though.

You can still sell plasma?? I did not know that. Still I everytime I go to a blood drive (not paid) they ask you if you have ever donated in the last 90 days or something because it takes weeks for your body to replenish your blood. I would think that it is probably similar with plasma?

I have also heard that you can get paid to let experimenters try drugs out on you as a human guinea pig. Don't know much about that though.
