If you're a member of the ruling elite, you always land on your feet.

The completely unimpressive Jen Psaki landed a gig at MSNBC. The creepy Brian Stelter wound up at Harvard. And of course the Clintons and Obamas, and previous Fed chairmen, can expect six-figure speaking fees in perpetuity.

You and I are not so fortunate, dear reader. Sometimes we get chewed up and spit out, and there's no CNN gig waiting for us.

Now I'll be super clear: I think people on this list should think seriously about a long-term project that can supplement -- or, if the SHTF, can substitute for -- one's current income. Nothing is stable in the present world. We need to be prepared for anything.

But sometimes we have to think about the short run. If we had the luxury to wait to get a business all set up the way we want it, we would. But because of circumstances, we may need dough now.

As it happens, my friend Matt Garrett is an expert on side hustles, and in particular on simple ways to pull in some dough right away. No, they won't bring in a million clams, but when you need a little bit more income, especially in the immediate run, they do the trick.

These are all simple things that require no tech know-how. Everything from taking surveys, to proofreading, to website testing, shopping jobs, etc.

You or someone you know could probably benefit from these 20 different ideas:
