I'd have to agree with the other person about working in Alberta. Go up to some place like Fort McMurray and get on the oil sands. If a bunch of you go up for 3 weeks you will bring home a boatload of money, probably like $30/hr or more plus overtime, and if your in a camp your essentials are taken care of for you.
Even if you just go up there and work at the Tim Hortons, I hear they pay over $20/hr there because it's hard to find staff. If you do that though, it might be best to get the trailer, as basement suites go for over $1500/month
Another option a friend of mine is looking into for himself is to invest in a development that is here in Cranbrook, BC called Wildstone. [url]discoverwildstone.com[/url] Apparently, you can get one of the plots for $140 000, but you don't need to pay until they break ground in August, so if you can sell it to someone in Victoria before that, your golden. Supposedly by August they will be worth at least $220 000.
Just remember if you need cash to get one of these ideas started, you could always pawn your computers and consoles.

Although it may sound otherwise, this is actually a serious suggestion. I don't actually make $15 000 a month and never have, so this idea may not go as well as I hope it does. Sell your soul on Ebay If a guy can sell the right to change his name for a year, for $37 000.01, then I figure 1 soul is worth probably $50 000. With the right publicity you guys could make international news, and get to make fun of yourselves on The Whatever Thing. Or if you don't want to use Ebay, buy a website like buymysoul.com or something like that and auctoin it there. Just make sure you put a link to it in the LRR Store.

Seriously? I should have thought about that years ago! Also, there is that segment on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno called "Look what we Found on Ebay" I remember one time someone sold a potato chip that looked like a cowboy boot for a couple grand.

Kinda like that website about the guy who found a bunny in the gutter and took care of it, though he said if the internet didn't give him 100k dollars, he would eat the furry little bugger. I don't remember the site, because it all happened like last june or july.

Silly thought... have you tried to find a cheaper bus?
Check ebay motors for them.
Like this one:
1992 GMC : RV Cutaway Busfor $200.00 US (so far).
You might find a better deal.

Yes, but the cast is also incredibly lazy.
