You may not like these options, but the following techniques have been proven to put $100 in your pocket over and over again.
It would be best to make your next $100 on something legit, but for those looking to squeeze an extra few dollars out of almost nowhere…
Note: For real ideas, try www.Make-100-Dollars.com
1) Dumpster dive for bottles
At 5 cents a pop, you only need 2000 empty beers to reach $100.
2) Theft from loved ones
Just kidding. This is a colossally stupid idea unless you like jailtime and having no friends.
3) Cash in as an independent rock musician
Find 3 pals, practice for months, record an LP, tour 25 cities, and hope to sell 45 CDs.
4) Circular math
Lend yourself $120 from your long-term savings, pay yourself back a down-payment of $20, and record the tranaction on a napkin of your choice, take another shot of JD, and be sure to discard the napkin as soon as possible.
5) Prayer
Where’s the harm in trying? 
6) “Protection” money from neighbors
$5 a week for you to NOT beat up a neighbor x 20 neighbors = $100 per week. Recurring income potential.
7) Palladium rustling
Platinum & palladium are good for catalytic converters. Find 5 large vehicles (preferably SUVs – cars that need more pollution control carry more of the precious metal), cut out the catalytic converter, and laugh your way to $100.
8 ) Work 7.69 hours at an Alberta McDonalds
That’s right – the job market is so hot in Canada that brand new burger-flippers, fry cookers, and drive-thru window operators are making $13 an hour. Starting wage. Actually, this might be the best option from this entire list…
9) Think up a good joke
Send your joke to Readers Digest and hope for the best.

10) Piracy
Find a deserted highway or spot on the open seas, practice your accent, and watch the money happen.
11) Set up a mobile pay toilet
Dirty work, but set up shop next to a concert, ball game, or outdoor event, advertise as having “the cleanest seat in town”, and charge $5 for 5 minutes. Make $100 in less than an afternoon.
12) Buy gold
Throw $100 USD at gold, wait 30 days, then trade your gold back for USD. WIth today’s rate of currency colapse, making a spare $100 is almost guaranteed.
13) Bet against the Toronto Maple Leafs
Always a safe bet.
14) Set up an online business
How hard can it be?
15) Invest $2857.14 at 3.5% interest.
Thanks to Fedhead Ben, compound interest now almost pays for your banking transaction fees.
16) Clean out the vacuums at a local car wash
Most automotive vacuum cleaners hold several $$’s in change by the end of an average day. You’ll have to rinse off your findings, but this is some of the easiest $100 around.
Bonus #17) Google “$100 Prize”
There are lots of contests & competitions for a $100 prize. Who knows, you just might win something. But personally, I’d stick to something more proven to actually make $100.
