These are all very dumb ways to raise money. But.. once you have the money, make sure you spend it all. Take this hard earned money to your Walmart, HomeDepot, Sears etc and spend it until it is all gone. Spend your self into a coma. This will surely help the economy...!!
ON A SERIOUS NOTE:
This is what it seems like the governments are telling us... Spend ourselves out of this recession no matter where you get the money from.
If consumers are maxed out on their credit cards, and are suffering from a credit hangover, how on earth are they going to spend us out of a recession.
That is why I thought of these 25 dumb ways for consumers to help the ailing economy.. Honestly... these ideas are about the same as what the governments are telling us to do!
