People I met online would say that economy in the US is not doing great as they used to. To the eyes of someone like me who live in a developing country, if you can pay other people to do odd jobs for you then you're doing fine. I need a $250 start up capital to gain back everything I lost. Finding that much where I'm from is not an easy feat though. In the states, if one can mow a lawn or paint a fence, or do car washes, or walk other people's dogs, there's always a chance to earn that much, maybe even in 2 weeks or so. Where I'm from, nobody will pay for something like that, things that people can easily do themselves. Asking for loans is out of the question, as I already owe people a lot and unemployed people are not welcome to borrow from banks. I'm still looking for stuff I can do online. I'd like to take on real typing jobs that I can do for hours and hours until I earn what I need. So far I haven't seen anything like that but I can't give up now.

That's very true. You may want to try looking for those type of jobs from Upwork or Freelancer. Those are the sites for jobs and they can pay per hour.

There is a web site that can help it is about getting micro-loans.
Make a loan to an entrepreneur across the globe for as little as $25. Kiva is the world's first online lending platform connecting online lenders to entrepreneurs across the globe.

You can still get a stall to sell cooked food if you want.
If you happen to have a garden, you can plant some vegetables to reduce cost.
There are ways that you can survive.
In fact, in every country, there are ways for a person to get rich.
If not, there will not be any rich people around.

Nowadays money is really hard since oil prices are going down and so some basic commodities are soaring high. What I can share with you is why don't you try doing surveys online. There are a lot of legitimate sites that are free to register. Additionally, there are sites that pay you be their guest post on their websites. These are all legit but of course you must also be careful in choosing the right ones. Hope this helps.

Good luck on your search. And it is not just there or here that is hard, everywhere you go there will always be hardships in relation to jobs and keeping it. Do not lose hope, widen your network and be open for skills enhancement. It will look good on your resume and you will be more marketable.

Find your passion. That's how I got my online job. I work for a Psychology organization now and I'm really happy.
