Just went thru this myself.
Only ideas I can offer:
Sell your junk. Anything and everything you don't need/use.
eBay, Craigslist, TBH classifieds are your friend.
Go around your neighborhood and see who needs their yards cut and put on some gloves and get to work... People are lazy, and if you throw them a good price, they'd rather pay it than do the work.
That's about it unless you have a trade where you can do some side jobs.
I made and sold some dog houses with lumber that I had laying around.
Had very little up front cost due to the materials already having been paid for and sold them for $150 a piece. Built 3 and made $450 with materials that we're going to be a pain to move.Last edited by Mac...; 09-20-2016, 09:42 AM.

Hustle up some labor like Mac just posted.
Im in the exact same boat as you. I work full time and doing well, just not where i would like to be as far as down payment on my new home goes. I asked around and wound up with a few different side gigs working weekends building a goat enclosure and helping a coworker clear some woods. Im not to worried about losing my weekends until it cools off enough to try and get a hunt or two in the books

don’t buy your wife a new rack, that’ll save money
CL always has ads for day labor type jobs that can be a start on leads. I’ve used it before and gotten gigs helping with fence and demo work. Usually pays cash which is nice but for a house down payment you have to be able to show where larger deposits came from

One time this summer a guy stopped by and asked if I'd like my address repainted on the curb for $10. I said sure, since it was faded and people always had a hard time finding my house. $10 turned into $15 when he asked if I'd like it painted on the edge of the driveway as well, and then $15 turned to $20 when my wife asked if he could do Texas A&M colors.
Before long, just about every neighbor on the block had hired him to do the same. He had normal number stencils, but then also sports teams and other stuff. I figure he made pretty dang good money for work that didn't require much sweat.
