The Final Push to $1000

We’re up another $100 this month which we received in cash as Christmas gifts from family unexpectedly.  We’re adding that to our goal to turn our unwanted stuff into $1000 cash and grateful family did not buy things we didn’t need this year.
Cash is always appreciated.  We may also be exchanging some games and gaming [...]

Windfall Wednesday

Well, not every Wednesday will be windfall Wednesday in case some of you were hoping I’d hit some sort of jackpot and planned to do a continuing series… but DH and I are rejoicing today because 3 things have happened this Wed. that have improved our financial situation and we will be financially richer for all of them.  We [...]

Abundance Project- $51,200

Sorry, I’m still in vacation mode as we just got back from here:

 
 
What I’d do with the money:
Do a world cruise with my husband.  In 3-4 months time we could visit cities on every continent and have money to spare for activities and snacks in several places.  One of our marriage goals is to visit every [...]

Abundance Project- $25,600

  The Abundance Project is a great idea I found over at http://millionairemommynextdoor.com and wanted to implement for myself over the next year.
Basically, it’s an exercise to expand your way of thinking.  Imagine what you would do with $100 the first week.  Double that each week you participate in the project (week 2=$200, week 3=$400, etc).  Consider [...]

Abundant Living- $12,800

Generating an extra 13 thousand dollars.  Wow, I never thought I’d be brainstorming at this level before starting this exercise.  To read this through from the beginning, check out my initial post on “Abundant Living” here which explains the challenge in detail.  The basics are that every week or so I double the amount spent last [...]

Abundant Living- $6400

This idea came to me as we have been exchanging our things for quick cash at a variety of places.
How we could earn the money:
Start a part-time cleaning/junk removal business where you keep what you remove.  I can see a huge client base for this: retirees looking to move, children of deceased parents, those who [...]

The Midas Touch

DH and I have been trying to bring abundance into our lives and simultaneously to simplify our lives. 
 
But, so far we’ve been unsuccessful in our initial attempts to sell stuff.  Technically, we were able to unload over $100 worth of gaming merchandise at less than half its value.  However, because it was at the [...]

Abundant Living- $1600

The abundance project is still on track.  It doesn’t get many visitors here but that’s ok because the purpose of this blog is a place for me to share my thoughts and feelings.  I continue to find this project challenging, rewarding and encouraging.

What I would do with the money:
 We’d go to boot camp.  [...]

Cheerleader

Everyone should have a cheerleader.

My cheerleader is always there for me.  She goes wild when I share my success.  She rallies fans when I succeed and when I’m in need by calling friends and family on my behalf (not to mention the prayer chain at her church when we’re REALLY in need).  She chants and [...]
