Earn Slacker Money With Bottled Water
Posted by Jacques - May 9, 2009
Every Saturday is money day here at The Slacker Method, and this time, I’m putting my money where my mouth is by working my own idea.
You see, remembering to bring bottled water with you saves you one dollar. Remembering that a hundred people will forget to bring water to the community garage sale this weekend, will save you one hundred dollars.
My good friend Lily @ purechocolateliving.com reminded me of this good fact as I prepared to sell many of my unneeded trinkets and gadgets (by the way, the chocolate stuff is fantastic!).
So without hesitation I thought of us slackers, needing another way to make money without actually doing anything at all. I bought some water at a wholesale club about $10 for 70 bottles, and then marked them for sale @ one dollar each. I nearly sold out after selling water for only a couple hours. It’s certainly a healthy alternative to selling your body fluids.
Here’s a few things I learned about this method of making cash:

The Slacker Method for Building a Nest Egg
Posted by Jacques - January 31, 2009
Saving money for the future can be a tough thing. Especially if most of our energies are focused on the present. If the world stopped tomorrow, would you think to yourself, gee, I wish I had spent more time on my budget?
While I certainly don’t condone forgoing financial planning, it can easily become an obsession. For me, I want to create it once, and then revisit it annually. In between those times, I want nothing to do with it.
Another problem with building nest eggs is that people tend to overdo it. While I agree more people need to save more than save less, we have to be careful to not let it affect our lives. Afterall, money is a symbol of time and power. We want to use it to our advantage, to make our lives and the lives of others meaningful and enjoyable. Too often people become slaves to their 401ks and IRAs without realizing how much of their lives they have sacrificed in order to retire. But what is retirement really? That’s another article.
Here are some easy tips for building your future.

Slacker Method for Keeping Air Clean
Posted by Jacques - January 17, 2009
There are three really important things that your body needs to survive. Studies have shown that you can live for 4-6 weeks without food. If it’s water you’re missing, than you might last a week depending on the temperature. But without air, you will not be able to count more than a few minutes before suffering permanent brain death. And it isn’t just any air, it’s good quality air that we need. Ever heard of the Canary in the Coal Mine? Bad air can kill you.
Your body needs quality air to function properly. At worst, poor quality can cause permanent damage to your lungs, make you feel sick, and best, lower your efficiency and energy. Dirty air and smog can cause all sorts of brain damage, cancer, and athsma. Also, contaminants in the air can go directly to your bloodstream as it piggy backs on the oxygen which is exchanged through your alveoli. Don’t forget the many countless battles that people with allergies fight on a daily basis. This is why it is absolutely imperative that you always have clean air.
