I am trying to save an Extra $2012 in 2012. Not from trimming the household expenses, but by looking for money and opportunities for money that were there for the picking, missed by me or the Raz Man. Selling unused items, making cash from things like blogging, saving bits of cash that trickle in.
Mostly, Finding Money is about getting off my butt and not being lazy about it. This month I signed up for BlogHer ads and made an extra $5.73 to ad to my $19.30 from Google Ads. I got motivated to list an old cabinet that belonged to my friend and I on Craigslist, and made $150 (shared) on that and while the person was picking it up, she asked if we had anything else and purchased a little wall cabinet with a crack in it for $30.00. (I was going to get rid of it thinking no one would want it). So that was $180.00 to share with my friend..$90.00 into my Found Money Jar. In addition my husband was at his metal shop, and there was a pool for a baby about to arrive. He threw in $20.00 and he won. Winnings were $110.00. He was pretty happy at thought of some bucks to spend in the pub, but I quickly ended that excitement and took the winnings, giving him back the original $20 for his bet. Thanks Raz Man...a cool $90 of Found Money.

I ended this month with a cool $365.00 making my year to date FOUND MONEY $861.49. I would love to know if any of you Found Money this month or have some good ideas to save money. I have created a Linky below so you can link a post to this one. How do you FIND MONEY.
Great idea, I need to doit liked I planned . . . Must stop the LAZY . . . I did start a pile of things for Craigslist though . . .
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me, yet again, today! After mulling over my rather hideous tax situation, I think I might just start working out a garage sale, and saving pennies. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Can you do BlogHer ads and Google ads together?
ReplyDeleteWell done, Chania! I'm really enjoying your series on miraculous money out of nowhere.
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous, I love your found money and I need to think about how I can find some too. I do have a stash of stuff waiting to be sold on ebay. xx
