The need for money seems to be an ever looming presence these days. If it's not food or the mortgage that needs paid, then its eclectic, water, heating and so forth. The bills never seem to stop. I have witnessed firsthand what happens to people that are not able to pay their bills. The humiliation they have when they have to file for bankruptcy, it just destroys their self esteem.
Well, unfortunately, I witnessed this very closely. My neighbor that happened to be my best friend was going through a hard time. She owned her own floral shop for many years but was recently forced to close down shop due to some poor business decisions. She lived for a while on unemployment benefits before those ran out and she was nearing having to declare bankruptcy herself.

She came to me one day and asked for money. I was able to give her a few hundred, but not enough to live on, as I had to support my own home too. Then she came up with a great idea. She saw an ad on the television that said something about selling gold. I told her that it must be some type of scam, as no company would take part in paying for people selling gold. ...
... She insisted that it was legitimate, so we decided to start a joint venture. The both of us gathered some old gold jewelry from our homes and started a little selling gold. It started out slow, as we weren't sure if it was something to be trusted, but it finally blossomed into a good means of making money. After several weeks of selling gold, she was able to pay off her bills and qualified for a loan for a new floral shop. Even months after she began her shop and began to thrive once more, we would still spend out weekends looking through old antique shops for pieces of gold to sell. It has become something of a secondary income for the both of us.

It stated as a necessity and has turned into a profit hobby that allows the both of us to live comfortably and have a great time with each other.

Personally, I never needed the extra income, as my job paid me relatively well. However, for my friend who was going through such a difficult time, it was absolutely necessary that she make a little extra money. Now that she is back on her feet and feeling good about herself once more, we are able to have fun just hanging out at antique shops on the weekends, in search of an old underpriced trinket that we could polish and flip in order to continue out pastime of selling gold.
