    Grab all the canned stuff I made at home, and either just ask my mother to buy all them for 40 (a family member can pay me, right?) or convince the family friend who loves the candied jalapeños to buy them.

        Depends how you define "make"

        If standard pay from job is too late, then I'd sell a CSP or CC from my brokerage account and I technically "made" the premium

        If that's not urgent enough, take some jewelry to a pawn shop and hock it

            Sell my shirt to my dad for $40. I’m pretty sure he’d rather buy my shirt than explode.

                Sell my car to the next person who walks by, I guess.

                But I'll hint to them (family) strongly that I won't be selling two cars, so they need to get less explodey.

                  Time to get into sex work.

                  I don't have anything I could sell that quickly, even.

                            40 dollars? That's all? I'm salaried and can work any hours I want to, so I guess I'm logging in at work and writing a few lines of code or answering some emails.

                            Twenty minutes will do it. Probably round it up to half an hour just to be safe. And honestly, if I get into the zone, an hour will fly by, easy.

                            Sorry family. I got into the flow at work. Oops about that.

                              Get a loan from the local loan shark.

                              Go to the roulette table at the casino. Bet it all on 32.

                              Lose my bet.

                              Go back to the local loan shark for $40.

                              Bet the $40 at the roulette table.

                              Lose.

                              Repeat until either I get the money to pay the loan shark and save my family. Or I gues it's RIP for my family and my kneecaps.

                                Easy. Sell a gun on FB Marketplace for a ridiculously low asking price. It would sell faster than I would be banned.

                                  Even if I didn't make that at my normal job, or it was non-business hours when I can't just go to work for money, I feel like $40 in 3 hours is pretty doable with just gig work (grocery/restaurant delivery, Uber).

                                    Sell some stocks I guess.

                                    Unless you mean my net worth has to go up $40? In which case, I'll probably look for someone who would be willing to pay me $40 ahead of time to teach them some machine learning over some negotiable span of time. Or to build a website or something. There are lots of businesses in the area that could use it, and $40 is insanely cheap for something like that.
