@josiah33;
there are very many ways of making money without investing a cent. In fact MOST PEOPLE make a living that way!
It's the standard definition of a regular JOB!
You get employed; the employer gives you some start-off money (aka, baggage and passage allowance) and you start working pronto. End of the month, you get paid.
However, you still have to spend some money for applying for the job... but I guess that doesn't count, after all, you are also not counting the charges for internet connection...
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
