I have used the extra money to pay off debt, fund family trips, or build up our Christmas savings. In fact, I found an old blog post of mine recently where I shared how I made over $300 at our annual neighborhood yard sale! Oh well, I thought–I can sleep in that weekend. Yep, I found a $20 bill while running on the beach!
