    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.

          Time to get into sex work.

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

            I feel like this is a "straight" boys wet dream. Perfect 'no homo' excuse to suck a dick.

              Overestimating how easy it is. Even before FOSTA-SESTA, you’d have to learn the lingo and figure out where your audience is. If you’re a cis dude, there’s a lot of cis dudes willing to suck or whatever for free. There’s also like literally nothing stopping them from not paying you - obviously you should take the money up front, but you go through all that effort, meet the guy and he says “oh I actually don’t have any money but don’t you like me enough to do it for free? 🥺” and in the best case scenario you just don’t get raped.

              If they could pick up the desperation (and you’re desperate because of the exploding family thing), they’d probably pressure you into not making them wear a condom.

                How exactly do you define making money though? I already have more than $40 could I purchase a product worth more than $40 and then return it? Could I steal $40 from somebody and then give it back once my family is no longer going to explode? Could I explain that my family is going to explode and politely request the money in hopes that someone believes me? How long do I need to retain the money? What if I just take something I own to a pawn shop? What if I gamble and I lose $50 and then later I make $40, I'm $10 down but technically I made $40 in the last transaction, have I satisfied the requirement?

                  Gay dudes are really into me, even. I'm like a classic bear.

                    FOSTA-SESTA

                    Not American, no worries. We ultimately went with the Scandinavian model here so it's not even illegal to sell.

                    you’d have to learn the lingo and figure out where your audience is

                    That could be tough. I'd probably try some of the dudes that have already hit on me first.

                    $40 isn't too much and maybe I could play up the inexperienced actually straight fetish thing.

                    If they could pick up the desperation (and you’re desperate because of the exploding family thing), they’d probably pressure you into not making them wear a condom.

                    Not a deal breaker, TBH. Worst case I get AIDS and have to take pills for it for the rest of my life. My next best option in such a short period is an armed robbery I'll definitely get caught for. Maybe burglary if I can find someone who keeps cash.

                      I would go to work at my job and earn more than $40 just like I do every day.

                        That's possible at most jobs here, so family is safe. If you mean outside of work, I'm a lady so could probably find & turn a trick in that amount of time, sure husband would even set it up rather than exploding, he has a friend who works with rich guys. Could make that with plenty to spare, I'd guess.
