Look around your house, collect everything you can find that will add up to about $8,000. Take it to a pawn shop, and you should have $700 by the end of the day. You can repeat this as many times as you need. It works awesome.
Second this. This is what I did in HS when I didn't have a job and needed money. Went around the house and collected items we didn't need. You can also do cash loans on items and pay interest to get your items back, but you have to pay on time or your item will be sold!
