Excellent advice Toonces. It takes a certain level of commitment I have not yet developed myself. Seems there is always some more important need for that money.
Usually food, heat, electric, car repairs, veterinarian, etc.

I applaud your discipline and aspire to get there myself.

Estate Sale update:

We had a very good two days for this area. The house is on the lake, on a dirt lane, at least an hour from any real city. So we were sure that we wouldn't have much traffic.

We got rid of about two thirds of the stuff. Didn't sell any of the bigger ticket items ($300 was the the most expensive items). But do have a woman coming on Monday to take the stackable washer and dryer for $100 each. Total sales for the two days was just over $1200.

I have several items I will sell on Ebay or Craigslist over the next couple weeks. But all in, I think everyone was very happy to find great new homes for all of her memories.

Got it. The way I look at garage sale and scrap money is that I cannot count on it at all. Every penny I get is found money and I cannot plan my life around finding money.

Nice job on the sale.
