That's OK! So do I!<br /><br />So in the mean time, here are some ideas to raise $$$ for your/our trip...<br /><br /><br />+ Start selling some of your belongings (if you haven't done this already). Craigslist is good, ebay, garage sales, etc. If you have a bank account, you might want to consider starting a new savings account so that you aren't tempted to touch the money.<br /><br />+ Car Wash!!! Invest in some eco-friendly soaps, make some signs, get your supportive friends together who want to see who have an AWESOME trip, and start washing those cars!!!<br /><br />+ Part Time Job...Oh yes...The wretched part time job...Well, it doesn't have to be so wretched. Start looking now!!!<br /><br />+ Clean house!! This branches off of part time job...Invest in some eco friendly cleaning products and market yourself to your friends and family. Offer to clean/tidy up their place 1x week/1x month, whatever. <br /><br />+ Special Talents!!! We all have special talents. Start using them now! If you're an artist, set up in a busy foot traffic area and start using your talents. <br /><br />     - Set up to do caricatures, portraits(these people can make good money believe it or not<br />     - Sing/Perform with a box for cash donations...Make a sign that explains why you're out performing (I did this when I was trying to audition for American Idol my first time out. I went to one of the malls here, set up with a sign and a photo box and just started singing. Just me! I made $30 in 15 minutes! After this my mom offered to help me with the $, she thought I was really desperate LOL so I didn't do this again there after. I would/will do it again though!)<br /><br />+ Ask for donations. A friend of mine at work just left for Africa. Before he left, he asked for donations. He got $50 from not just one, but a few people! You'll be surprised at who might be able to help you :)<br /><br />+ Take a look at your budget. If there is ANYTHING you can cut out for a while to save, do it. Cutting out some extra expenses will make for some extra cash that adds up...We've got a year to save!!!<br /><br /><br />If you have ideas, please post them here!!! Better yet, post what you're doing to raise money!<br /><br />:)<br /><br /></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/groups/2011grouptrippers/forum/topics/location-suggestions 2010-04-01T18:47:38.000Z 2010-04-01T18:47:38.000Z meganthevegan https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/meganthevegan <div>Throw out your ideas on where we should go in 2011!!<br /><br />Places I would like to meet up in 2011 are:<br /><br />1.
