Last weekend we had a 2-day carport sale. Everything we put out was something we just wanted to get rid of. There were about 3 items we needed to get some money for, but the rest we would've thrown out just for the space. If we made nothing, we wouldn't have lost anything - not even time - since it was a nice morning to be outside and meet the neighbors.
I made about $60, which paid for shoes for Jordan, a business lunch for me, Tim & Adam to strategize our business, and a few other things we needed.
Logan sold some stuff I never thought would sell, yet he made almost $20 on unwanted old toys and electronics taking up space. Now he can buy the 2nd controller to Adam's Xbox so he can play too.
Jordan did the best of all. She sold a Barbie 3-story dollhouse for $50, jewelry, perfume, and books. She made over $50! She's getting a Littlest Pet Shop toy, and probably saving the rest.
Tim didn't have any real guy stuff to put out except a set of expensive golf clubs, so he didn't do much with it.
So Money Tip of the week: Yard sale!
You never know what you have laying around that people might want. I recommend a yard sale to people when you need a little extra cash to get you through. It's also a great way to get rid of unwanted stuff and give you more breathing space in your home.
