When you are short on cash flow and you run into an emergency situation, there are not many places to turn. Here are 3 Ideas of places to scare up some extra emergency cash.
1. Garage Sale-
The garage sale is an age-old way to scare up some extra funds. Maybe you don't have the right space for hosting a yard sale... maybe you don't have enough things to sell to justify putting out the signs and going to the work of having your own. You can always join a neighborhood sale or the sale of a friend or family member with the things you do have to offer.
Craigslist is similar to an organized online garage sale. You can post each individual item you have for sale and place it in an appropriate category to make it easy for buyers to find. It is limited to your community also, so you don't have to worry about shipping.
3. Payday Loans-
Only for the extremest emergency, you can go to payday loan centers and get a high interest loan on your upcoming paycheck or your car. Only do this if you are desperate and sure you will be able to make the payments.

This is a great article! Who doesn't want help finding some extra cash :) I try to clean out my closet at least once a year to get rid of the stuff I no longer wear. I sell what I can and then donate the rest. You can get extra cash, feel good about donating clothing and have a junk-free closet.
