depending on where you live....START RECYCLING!! At least here in CA, I know you can make BANK doing simple recycling. My high school wrestling coach would put on a pair of gloves, get one of those grabber things for only a few $$$, then go through the top of the dumpster at the high school.

He was doing it hardcore and was pulling down a few hundred a week, but even then...if you scale it way back and just keep all of your stuff and some of your friends...you can put a major dent in that bill.
