Yeah! I just sold my first item off OfferUp actually. Not a piece of art (vintage pourer) but a def. alternative/companion to Craigslist.

My biz partner and I just started helping bloggers grow and monetize their sites too :) We have a few clients so far, and I’ll agree – you learn a TON doing it! Plus it’s really fun, haha…

I have three clients right now, and they’re all paying my intro rate, but I’m learning as I go. It’s been really fun so far!

So it kicks me to work on the side job!

This post reminds me the of one of the earlier chapters in the book where the author talks about the concept of dreamlining, you think about the goals and aspirations you want to achieve in life, then you eventually work down to how much each goal would cost per month to make it happen. After this the rest of the book is mostly about how to free up time and gain the income you need i.e. different “gigs” to make your dream a financial reality.

Very good book and if you haven’t read it I highly recommend it!

However, we did a similar exercise earlier this year. My wife quit her full time gig after our son was born. So, we were used to living off of one income. Earlier this year we decided to purchases a vacation home. At the same time, my wife decided she was going to go back to work on a part time basis at the animal shelter where she was volunteering. We determined that the the money she was now making would basically cover all of the costs/expenses associated with vacation home. So, we essentially picked up a vacation home that we really enjoy without noticing any impact in our checking account. So, wife work at shelter = vacation home expenses

Now that those two are at acceptable levels it’ll go to stuffing the Roth IRA.
