Teaching or IT training is a good option.

I love the feeling on a Friday afternoon when a training course has gone well, the students are happy, the course is over, and you have the weekend to relax.

If you can travel a bit then delivering a couple of 3 or 5 day IT training courses in different cities can set you up financially for the month.

Its not that expensive.

I have a demo that I run in Windows Azure where I spin up 16 servers to render a 1500 frame animation in HD quality. I demo it an conferances and user group meetings, it fits nicely into a one-hour session. It takes about 10 minutes to provision the environment and around 20 minutes to render the animation.

The total cost for compute time, storage and data transfer is less than $2.

In the UK there are a lot of charity shops selling used books. I buy a big stack or paperbacks for £1 to £3 each, then read through most of them, then take them back. It's a great way to get a cheap read, it's a great way to recycle, and most of the monay goes to charity.

I agree here. I had my boss splash out for a 27" monitor and a workstation class PC to have at home a couple of years ago. Today the workstation classs PC feels a bit slow, but the monitor is still one of the best you can buy, and will be on my desktop for many years to come....

After all that effort imagine his dissapointment when he rides it past a couple of hot chicks and they don't even notice (0:30).

My wife saved over $400 on a new fridge last week, the week before she saved $500 on furnature. She says she is saving for our retirement...
