Eric, it really depends on the items. I don’t know about eBay because I’ve never used it, I think there might be fees involved for the seller (?). But I’ve sold lots of stuff on local wesites, just post photos and a description, and then people come over to check it out and buy if they like. I’ve sold furniture, a piano, dishes, a webcam, you name it, it doesn’t matter how big or small. If someone stops by my place and gives me 5 bucks for something I no longer need or use, I’m 5 bucks ahead.

These are good rules to live by. I have been able to eliminate my CC debt & car loans.

I plan, plan, and plan ahead. I am still paycheck to paycheck with a small emergency fund. I always try to anticipate the little dollar amounts that will get sucked out of my wallet. I try to make sure I have gas, some food, and some money to go out with friends. I write down every expense I might have and add $20.00 to be realistic.

I’m curious –

How much are those of you who sell your unused items on ebay bringing home? I’ve thought of this but always end up thinking it won’t net me enough to worry about?

So how many items and how much do you make?

Our company has been going through this wellness process and that’s exactly what they say. They said that most people don’t put on enough sunscreen because a standard bottle is only like 6 “servings” and the chemicals break down after a year.

One note, not sure sunscreen keeps all year. I think it goes bad and/or stops being as effective.

Going through your bills with a fine tooth comb is important.

We switched our cable to dish and save about 40 bucks a month, easy money.

Just last week I noticed that we had the unlimited vonage plan at 25 a month, but I realized we never use but about 300 mins a month, so I dropped us to the 500 mins plan and saved us 10 bucks a month. The devil is in the details, it pays to dig into your bills and nit pick every single penny.

Same thing with car insurance, we found that at renewal time they would automatically add on roadside service at 5 bucks per vehicle. Not cool.
