Need to make some money!

Question: Gillian's dad, the breadwinner of the family, was injured and has cancer, so he can't work anymore. He doesn't have any disability insurance or savings, and they have big debt. They owe $34,000 on their cars. Dave has some hard news for her, and urgency in his voice.

Dave Ramsey's advice: They have no income now. The cars need to be up for sale. They can't keep them because they are broke. There is NO POSSIBLE scenario that they keep these cars. Here's what will happen, if they are smart ... your mom should go to work. She's only 54 years old, and if she lives another 40 years, that's a long time to live while being broke.

The deal is this ... these people are completely without income. They have a long time to live without income, so they MUST CREATE SOME! I'm not being harsh with someone who is in poor health, but they need to make some income. They are so much in denial of their situation, they've got you in denial too! Getting rid of the house or the car or the credit card debt doesn't solve things. They must create income!

I am in a close boat! My job was closed out November of last year and since then
I've been working just about any job that comes my way.
I am a Service Tech. My wife work,but She is also in School.WE have 3 children
1 in day care. I was earning 50k yearly,which was barely enough. MY business is
growing but slowly.Question; Is there a at home job that is recomend? Is the
mailing letters,copy cd/dvd,process rebates,secret shopper,.......?
IF any of them are real,why do you have to pay to get started? Why cant they
just take it out your 1st check?
