    AC units are pretty nice. A small one can still bring in $50. Separate as much as you can.

    The best advice is to take some time every evening and do some reading. About everything your going to run across has already been asked and answered. Look on the main page and find a subject that sounds interesting and start back thru the old posts.
    There is a whole college education here and all it's going to cost you is some time.
