7. Sell some stuff
Head to a local consignment shop that will pay you on the spot for gently used goods. Can’t find one in your area? Try an online equivalent. For consigning clothing as well as games and toys, there’s Swap.com, for example. The site aims “to be the largest online consignment and thrift store in the world.” For selling all kinds of used electronics, there’s Gazelle.
If you have a lot to sell, consider having a yard sale.
