Yep, no matter how bad things get there are always legitimate ways to make money. When all I could get was part time work for 6 years, I still managed to pay my bills, albeit not on time. But if I wanted a beer and chips from the party store I took in bottles and cans I collected from the road while I walked the dog. If I wanted the extravagance of going to a bar and spending $50, I used money made from selling stuff on eBay. I agree, there is no excuse to steal.
