We've been really geared up about our journey out of debt recently, and have have been searching for some new ways to raise our income. Through the spring and summer we made a few hundred dollars by selling a lot of books and video games on Half.com, but now that most of the items have sold we only make about $5 every other week on Half. We also had a garage sale in August where we made a few hundred dollars. Between getting rid of a lot of stuff when we thought we were going to be kicked out of our apartment, and selling a lot, we don't really have too many non-essentials. But "not too many" is still more than we need, and I'm on a mission to sell it!
I've started posting ads on Craigslist with things like the dishes we had before we got married and my trombone from high school. I've also posted ads for babysitting and pet sitting over the holiday break, and have come up with some great leads using that! Wish us luck coming out ahead this December!
