I've been on a journey of debt reduction and minimalizing my possessions. If I don't use it and it has no emotional attachment (minus my wedding dress), I am selling it and dumping the money on debt.
I started this path of cleaning and purging when I was tired of owning clothing that no longer fit and wanting to pay for a trip without amassing debt and using credit cards.
Since the beginning of the year, I've sold near to $1600 worth of stuff, most items in the $5.00 range, although with the higher priced items, it averages out to about $8-10 per item.
This bra represents a whole lot to me! I am part of a few
Dave Ramsey Facebook groups and people quite often say they have nothing to sell. I beg to differ. You have a lot more than you think. Think outside the box. This bra has been sitting in my drawer for about 5 years, still with tags on it. I bought it to wear under my wedding dress, but that didn't work, so rather than take it back to the store, I kept it 'just in case'.... my sweet lord! How foolish.
Fast forward 5 years. I have had this thing listed for sale for about 6 months. A lot of interest, but as is often the way with online sales, zero respect and no follow through with pick up - until last night! I pocketed a cool $15.00 for this beauty! It was money that went directly to my dog grooming sinking fund. $10.00 in sales and Daisy's next grooming appointment is funded.
Step back and take a look. What do you have to sell? I bet more than you realize!
Until next time,
