text: one of my friends wants to know whats a good way to make 250 dollars by sunday?   if it's a good cause, parents or banks might be willing to make a loan, with agreed payback conditions.    if it's trouble with the criminal element, maybe she could narc on the guy and collect reward money (but be careful -- it's also a good way to end up dead).  garage sale?  depends on how much good junk you have around the house.  don't sell someone else's junk.  get a job waitressing someplace that has very good tips?  and be super-sweet to the customers?  there's no easy way to do it.  i hope your friend learns from this and doesn't get into the situation again.
