It may not be much to some, but I brought in $510 yesterday (for $350 net profit), reselling independently with my bare hands. It adds up in scale when you consider the time/income/freedom ratio. Plus, it's rewarding and fun.
I hope these posts will help motivate people to see that you can at least generate some extra income for yourself, or completely free yourself from dependence on others for money. I'm here to help and teach some of my tricks of the trade to those who want to learn. Ask any questions.
On the recycling front (non-thrifting), here are some more items I've recently plucked from my city's curb recycling to sell for income.
Nearly all packaging to ship these items was recycled.
Mentioning @cleanplanet so they can start following what I've been doing for years.
Your support gives me extra motivation, so please don't hesitate to simply leave a comment.
