If you need some cold hard cash right now, there are a few ways to go about it. Firstly, don’t go to a loan shark or a high interest loan company. Please don’t do that to yourself, don’t be tempted, it’s not worth the life you’re making for yourself by signing that kind of contract.

Maybe there’s some clothes in your wardrobe you could do the same with?
