      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.

                          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.

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

                                          "I did it to save my family".
