I Love Bike Stuff-Where's the Easy Money?

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I Love Bike Stuff-Where's the Easy Money?

I need to catch-up on my credit cards and need a few more things for my present bike set-ups, and really want a carbon frame conversion for my road bike.
How do I pick-up some fast, easy money?
Day trading?
Foreclosures?
Internet sales?
Consulting?
What do you think? Any fast, easy money left to be had out there?

Maybe, but the the OP's question was about easy money, not tasteful easy money.

I guess there's always drug dealing.

There are some good color photocopiers out there nowadays.

But all those damn security enhancements could make it a little tough.

Here's some real advice:

Stop spending so much money. Only idiots, the unfortunate, and animals with no self control rack up tons of credit card debt. Judging from your desire for easy money (yes, I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities for you to make money for nothing; maybe someone will just give it to you), I suspect you're not one of the unfortunate.
