Well folks, this is where the rubber hits the road and we've lived it off and on for a while.
Hubby's new job (although having the potential to be wonderful) has yet to cut him a real check for 2 months. So, while we either wait to see if the payroll gets on schedule or while he is looking elsewhere (or both) we are doing some creative cash flow. We've been here before. We may be here again. It's not as big a deal when I think we have a healthy happy family that will pull through together almost any thing that life tosses at us...so off we go.
You may be in the same situation, so I thought I'd share:
Closet cleaning for Cash - This is two -old. Do it yourself and have a garage sale. Even when the belt is tight, you and I both know there is clutter we can rid ourselves of, so now is the time to do it and get a little cash on hand. Second, do it for someone else. We all hate to do this. So offer that service to someone who hates it. You can in turn ask for payment or any items they do not want, you sell at your garage sale.
Bake for Bucks - I sold 4 loaves of bread this week that paid for all the gas I will use next week. Hey, toss in some cupcakes or coffee and coffee cake at that garage sale....hungry early birds just might tripple what it cost to make it!
Ebay everything - Cloths (believe it or not) go on eBay. Old books and antiques that may mean nothing to you, are someone's final addition to a collection.
Miserly menu plan - eat as cheaply as you can. This doesn't make more money come in, but it does slow the flow of it going out!
This next week I will be focusing on #1, to have a HUGE garage sale. I'll keep you posted on the 'finds' and 'funds' as it goes!
Best Blessings!
