Warning: Must be open to anything. This article reads “desperate” for a reason.
As a single (and ready to mingle), well-groomed, and with a decent sense of style and good head (of hair) on her shoulders type of woman, I’m still wondering when and how this damn economy is going to shape up. But because the recession hasn’t quite restored itself just yet, and because now whatever (little) extra spending we had must go to sentimental things such as Christmas gifts, I figured I should compile a handy list for any other attractive young women out there like myself on the little things we can do to get by.
1. Go On Dates. Lots of Them.
This might subject you to say yes to most guys you might not normally say yes to, but hey, do you really want another night of Lean Cuisine? Also note that this is not the same as “gold-digging,” unless you really do take cash or some fancy handbag at the end of the date (then that would be sort of like prostitution) but this is just an easy way to brighten up your day while also casually ignoring the check to your awesome, just eaten, great tasting meal. Chivalry existed for a reason you know, and it was for when the economy got too tough for us to assert our womanity. Hell, if you really don’t like the guy, take only few bites out of it, then take the rest home as left-overs for the rest of the week. What? Text him “Thank You” later, and you can totally still be friends ... on Facebook.
2. Sell Your Eggs
Look, you ain’t getting any younger. And eventually there will be a day when your eggs won’t even fit the qualifications for that handsome price tag found on Craigslist (or the Penny Saver). Luckily, there’s a huge demand coming from the desperate but rich woman out there seeking baby mamas, so maybe you should do them the simple service of offering something you weren’t about to use anyway. Unless you know, you’re extremely conscientious or something, which then I wonder why are you even reading this?
3. Sell Your Underwear on EBay
Yes, it’s pretty common cause there’s even a freaking guide that tells you how to do it. And apparently the buyers are sick pervs who are more into who wore the underwear first than whether this underwear was in some bargain bin buy at Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Yes you might feel a bit dirty after this whole ordeal, but if it was up to selling used underwear to strangers or starving yourself of the fine privileges of Black Friday shopping, which would you choose?
