Is this on your 360? If so, 360's allow you to make I beleive up to 6 free 1 month gold accounts.

I did this before, as have my friends.

Just make a new account, and it will KEEP asking you if you want to buy gold, just keep saying no. Once you finish, it will say you qualify for gold. Its that easy.

If that doesn't work, go get a job like working at a store. Or even if you have to, fast food. ;x

Offtopic: Selling drugs made my friend a grand in a day. But thats offtopic and illegal, so no more drug discussion.

I already bought live, and the point of buying it was to keep my current live name, achievements, and friends. Ive made accounts like tat before, but like when Halo 3 comes out, I want to keep my account and crap.

Drugs are stupid guys, it doesn't matter if it makes you rich.

Not wanting to do it isn't a good excuse. That's like a fat person saying that because they don't want to exercise, it's ok. You can't expect to get the best job as a 15-18 year old. It's basically a job in fast food, a cashier, cleaning or some other form of manual labor. Suck it up and get a job.

You could apply for a job at a movie theater. That's what I did for my first real job, It's pretty fun. Especially on the opening day of a big movie (Which they let you see early. Sometimes.) I bought a new PC with that job and a Xbox with a ton of games.

As a man who gets money through countless various ways, let me suggest to you a few things to try in order to obtain quick cash.

1. Craiglist - Sell anything not bolted to your floor.
2. Recycle - Save the planet while turning in the thousands of coke cans you and your friends drink daily. With aluminum prices on the rise, your sure to make a quick buck. Just walk around and ask your neighbors for their cans that they planned to recycle but just got lazy. I get about $200 a trip off cans.
3. Hold the world for ransom - It works in the movies...
4. Street performer - Doesn't matter what you do as long as its legal and gets peoples attention. Grab a hat and go dance around on main street while playing the harmonica or kazoo. Easy way to make $50 an hour.
5. Elevators - Get a nice suit and walk to your nearest Hotel. I prefer an Embassy Suite. Stand in the Hotel elevator all day and press the button for the floor the entering person is wishing to go to. If you do it all day, get friendly with the potential customers. Know what floor they want to go to and do so automatically. Greet them warmly with "Afternoon Sir..Good Evening Mam" Once you get the hang of it and you get good at it, this is better than a part time job. You get payed more, your pick your hours, and you are your own boss. How sweet is that?

Yes, I have actually done everything on that list save hold the world for ransom. It is a great way to make quick money. Enjoy!

Yes. Especially when they charge you absurd amounts for problems on their end.

I've actually done 1, 2, 4, and 5.

1. Works very well, I've made tons from Craigslist.
2. I've also done this, after parties I have tons of cans/bottles.
4. I actually played my guitar in my towns center along with my friend. We made about $320 in one day.
5. I did this in a hotel while in Florida on a rainy days (when I went on vacation). I ended up making about $300 in 1.5 days. Then the hotel staff yelled at me, I tried being sneaky and going in the elevator when they were gone. But they saw me and then chased me down. They said if they caught me doing it again, I would be kicked out.

Maybe I'll try #3 some time. When I have a nuclear warhead lying around.
