Where to Get Free Money

This is a question people of all ages have been asking themselves since the idea of tokens or money first came into being. The idea of getting money for free is an intriguing idea and one that everyone wishes they could figure out.

Basically free money quickly falls into a few kinds of categories legal and non legal:

1. Rob a bank – was a simpler matter in the old days of the James boys, you rode into town on  a horse walked into a bank and said “stick em up” and stick all your money in this bag and rode away on your horse before anyone could react. People still do it, but with video cameras most seem to get caught and end up getting free room and board at the expense of the state or federal penitentiary system.
2. A visit to your local gambling casino- providing you with your choice of slots, Blackjack, or “ Texas Hold em”, if your luck is running good- there you have it free money.
3. The Sunday paper always has coupons in the paper   offering you discounts and rebates some in combination with store specials netting the end result to you at zero cost. 
4. Scam some poor sucker out of him money- well there is plenty of that going on every day out there and now with the Internet it is easier than ever to do just that.
5. Sell some useless treasure of yours on EBay creating essentially free money.
6. Send in the old or broken gold or silver and get free money.
7. Get friendly with your local plumber and cart off old water heaters and copper pipes to the collection business and get paid.
8. Collect refundable soda and beer cans on the street and trash cans and trade them in for the nickel deposit.
9. Walk around in a parking lot and pick up spare change that has fallen out of other peoples pockets.
10. Panhandle on the street.
11. Pitch pennies or play cards with a card up your sleeve.
12. Buy a winning lottery ticket.
13. Rob someone on the street.
14. Win a scholarship to a college.

Yep those are pretty much it, so never let anyone tell you there is no free money around anymore.
