Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. If you keep your head and are persistent, you can find many things you want or need, all in near perfect condition, for a fraction of the cost with NO TAXES due. I love a bargain.

I already had saved up a box full of wine bottles, in hopes of selling them at my next garage sale, so we didn’t have any cash outlay for those. As I looked around at what was available ideas started popping. Tax on paper $0.78. Tax on tape $0.64. It turned out OK, but not spectacular. Total cost $17.45.

If you make $50,000 a year after taxes and spend $60,000 a year, your finances are going backward. You know getting a second mortgage is a bad idea. You go weekend e-baying, garage-saling or to the flea markets. Then at the end of the month evaluate to see if you are spending money how you want to be spending it.
