Unless you were born into wealth or royalty, pretty much everyone has been broke to some degree at one point or another in their lives. It can truly be a desperate situation not knowing how you are going to make ends meet.

Humans will do just about anything for money. Don't believe us? We've collected some of the most desperate examples of things people have done for a few bucks.

I got paid 1k to drink screwdrivers and being flashed by bright lights. Basically got paid to get drunk with bunch of sensors hooked up to me. -tastytastylobster

Worked at Amazon. Twice. -antilumin

Once when unemployed, I bought a bunch of king-size candy at Costco, and went door to door selling it saying it was a fund raiser for a church youth group. Made a good profit and was able to pay rent that month. -brock_lee

Fight another woman in a bikini, easy money. -Flashy_Isopod_9952

Dive into the wishing well to collect quarters to use for the vending machine. It's one of those surreal memories that's stuck with me. -Alveryn

Sold feet pics. -wnow409

Let these rich a******s hunt me in a forest with paintball guns and I had to be in just my underwear. I learned quick that it wasn’t so much about the hunt they just wanted to humiliate me. Completely regret it but I was a few hundred short on rent. -Xionus

I used to pose naked for art classes while I was an undergrad. Pay was pretty good, about 5 times minimum wage. -Puzzleheaded_Big3319

I regularly draw furry fandom for money. -dexterdraws

Selling condoms in a male restroom at a bar. Needed cash for a train ticket back home to the neighboring town. Was just standing in a corner offering rubber for some coins. -danishremoulade

I was expecting much juicier answers here. I made some spicy videos with my first husband and he sold the photos and videos. They are somewhere in the bowels of the internet, but I have no idea where. No face though. -Athompson9866

White beard. Red suit. Kids on my knee. -picksandchooses

Drove around in the middle of the night in my small town with bolt cutters. I opened up every single newspaper stand I could find and probably made a good $300 that night in quarters. -Land_As_Exile

Sang in the NYC subway while panhandling anyone that made eye contact.Got the $50 I needed to take a bus south out of the city. -geekitude

Participated in a sleep study where they had us wired up to electrodes to monitor our responses at periodic intervals across 3 days without sleep. It was brutal. I learned I cannot go without sleep for 2 days in a row. -Barbarella_ella

Consumed a full bottle of Tabasco sauce for $300. -didyouwashyoass2day

I slept with my 64 year old landlady. In my defense, it was either that or sleep on the streets. -Jack_In_Black89

In 7th grade I did a horrible attempt at the worm at a school dance for $1. -outofdate70shouse

I met a complete stranger from the internet to sell him some used underwear. If it were a send it in the mail thing, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But part of it was that he wanted me to meet him to give them to him. And then he would pay me in cash.

It was a pretty good amount so, I went for it. We talked for a while beforehand and he was really nice. I didn't get the vibe that I was gonna get killed, and I needed the money. It was a quick meet in a Walmart parking lot. Nothing really bad happened. -deletedgirlfriend

Chugged a red solo cup filled with months old bong water for $500. -Punkrockid19
