How to Make Financial Amends with No Money

As a poor person you might be perplexed as to how you can ever repay some of your personal loans when it's all you can do to make ends meet.

Well, if you're creative and the person you owe the money to is receptive and doesn't necessarily need the money but is open to you paying funds back in various ways, there are many methods you can choose from.

For example, I know a well-to-do woman who had a friend pet and house sit for her for two weeks but while the lady was out of town the friend broke her cooktop then didn't tell her. The friend tried to make a clean getaway but the woman came back early and was outraged when she discovered the damage and even more so when she confronted her friend after discovering she hadn't planned on telling her about the incident. The woman, knowing that her friend could not afford the $600 it would cost to replace the item, offered to let her pal clean her house a few times to pay the bill. This is an example of how you can make a financial amend when you don't have the money.

Surprisingly enough, the friend didn't apologize or take the woman up on her offer which the woman could not fathom.

Others ways you can repay a friend or acquaintance who will allow it is to babysit, do their accounting if you have the skills, give them rides if they are without transportation or their car's in the shop, do research for them on the Web, run errands for them, organize their home, walk their dog, pet sit, redo their resume if they're job hunting, regift them with a nice gift, wash their car, take the vehicle in to get it serviced if needed, help out at their office or home, tutor their kids, groom their pet, do yardwork, house-sit, help them write school papers,help with moving, proofread, type documents, do their Christmas shopping, help them addressing invites or cards, offer to assist them with an elderly parent, put signs up, and help them with volunteer work they may be busy with.
