Last week I visited a garage sale. This is a biggie while you are on vacation (you won’t get back this way, buy it now) or at a sale event (such as a garage sale or estate sale or auction). I went to the Berkshire-Hathaway companies annual meeting in 2015 when they were celebrating their 50th anniversary. Reciprocity.

2015 estimates of amount spent per house hold is around $70 – $75 dollars. Now decorations range from creating entire ‘haunted’ garages to carving scads of pumpkins from your trip to the local pumpkin farm (to which admission is charged, rides to spend on are available and of course food and drink consumes funds as well).

JANUARY 26, 2016

Between 2013 – 2015, we whittled that down and as of today we have just two loans left. I want to go through our basement, closets, and garage to look for unused items that we can sell. Thankfully, we have worked through those trials and the experience actually made a positive impact on our finances. What We Won’t Give Up.

I want to go through our basement, closets, and garage to look for unused items that we can sell. You can only cut so much from a budget, so to increase our cash flow, we’ll need to earn extra income by growing our small business and growing my blog. Apply any Found Money to our Goals. I’ll apply that money to the debt. DONE – 6/1/2014.
