Ways to Make Money Fast - Back in the Old Days | ArticlesBase.com
As a kid, I was always finding ways to make money fast. I started washing vehicles and figured out initially if rather than employing a bucket, I could employ a hose and then the automobiles could get wet faster, which I did and I improved my time. Then I said to myself, maybe I should use 2 wet and dry rugs and rub the auto with both hands. It brought my turn around time down from fifteen minutes to just under 10. So I thought perhaps if I could get an assistant and then we could do 2 automobiles in 10 minutes, then we could do ten cars in one hour. As a teenager, we averaged about close to one hundred autos in a day and made around 50 dollars each less expenses, which was not so bad considering that it was in the early 80's too. What I didn't know was that a week after that my neighbour's niece, who belonged to this preferred sorority made around five hundred bucks in twenty four hours doing the same we were doing. Naturally, we weren't wearing bikinis and had friends who helped them for nothing. Come to think of it, the girls didn't even wash their cars but rather just held out vehicle wash signs and when things were a bit warm in the day ; their friends just sprayed them with water or threw buckets of water at them too. Come to think of it, some girls were not even wearing bikini tops but white t shirts. Oh well, as a 12 year old, I loved doing their stint. Boy, what service.
