My new plan for obtaining spending $ is to sell stuff on Craigslist.
I made $32 yesterday selling a lamp and a bedframe.
It’s annoying and actually several hours of work and dedication to email and being home at certain times. BUT I figure if I am dedicated I can maybe make $50/week.
I have so much crap in my life I am doing major purgings. I am dumping/donating one large bag of garbage every few days. It’s really hard for me as I am sentimentally attached to objects.
My process it to take an object, stare at it for a few moments and recall the memories I’ve had in/with it. I try it on (if applicable). Then I think “Have a used/worn this in the past year and a half?” If the answer is “no,” then I look at the label. If it’s a fancy designer, I’ll likely keep it. If I think it’ll make a retro comeback, I keep it. If not, it get’s tossed. If it’s worth schlepping home to LI, I’ll bring it to my mom so she can send it to the Philippines in the next balikbayan box.
I wish I could live off of just 14 shirts, 4 pants, 4 skirts, 5 shoes, 2 tights, 10 socks, 14 pairs of underwear, 3 sweaters, 4 coats/jackets. That would be ideal.
