Yosh!
First, thank you to all visitors! My previous post, Making Money Out of Nothing $_$ managed to get top 10 in Innit!
Thank you for all your nangs $_$
Now I'm going to share with you guys, my another experience, making money out of nothing. This time, when I was in matriculation.
Each semester every students will receive scholarship, RM 1000 per semester and that was my first semester and when I have that much money, I felt like want to buy my first handphone (I had one when I was in secondary school but someone stole it). And I bought one. And that time my parents were expecting me to use that money for my education *what ever*.
In short, I was fucked up. I have new handphone, but I don't have enough money to buy food (means I still have some).
*I make this story short*
This is what I did - I contacted my friend, and asked him, whether his mother can supply me food, so I can sell from room-to-room - she (his mother) said yes.
From that day, she supplied me pizza (read: 'roti pizza'). I bought at 70 cent each and sold all of them at RM 1 each. In the beginning, I managed to get the pizza first, and pay her in the next day. But later, she refused.
I felt like I was fucked up again. I need around RM 70 - 105 per day to pay the pizza or else the supply will be cut.
I asked my roommate "Can you lend me RM 70?"
He was very reluctant because he come from not-so-rich family, so for him RM 70 is quite big.
"Nevermind, I pay you back before midnight." I told him. By hook or by crook, I need that money. I managed to convince him, and he gave me the money.
Starting that day, I'll borrow my friend's money, pay the supplier, get the pizza, sell from room-to-room, and by midnight, I pay my friend's money back, but I keep RM 30 profit I earned - and I did that for almost everyday!
Earning RM 30 - 45 in 2 hours, that's quite a lot - if you work in fast food restaurant, you need to work more than 8 hours ;)
That was how I survive when I don't have enough money in matriculation. By the way, since I earn that much money, everyday I have nasi ayam or spaghetti for lunch and chicken chop or fish and chips with fruit juice for dinner $_$
Now, who says you need to have cash in your pocket to start your own business? $_$
