Getting Back in the Poshmark Sales Game

January 10, 2018 by Penny 13 Comments

For a while, I had a pretty reliable income stream thanks to Poshmark. It started out with half a grand in Poshmark sales, then I crossed the thousand dollar mark through a combination of selling sites. And then…nothing.

I Make Money Online & And You Can, Too!

August 21, 2017 by Penny 8 Comments

Spoiler alert: I make money online a lot of ways. Blogging isn’t currently one of them. That’s right. I’m writing a post about how to make money online, and I’m not encouraging you to start your own blog (though I’ll gladly add yours to my reading list if you do!). Instead, I wanted to shed … [Read more…]

Penny Found: A Decluttering & Selling Roundup

July 12, 2017 by Penny 19 Comments

It’s no secret that I have too much stuff. Though, since I last posted, I have parted with a considerable about of clutter. Coupons and discount cards from months ago? Gone. A $1 winning lotto scratch off ticket from Christmas? Cashed in. Dozens of books? Listed for sale or donated. My progress is more slow … [Read more…]

Summer Money: Setting Goals for June

June 5, 2017 by Penny 17 Comments

With the weather finally heating up, I thought I’d take some time to slow down and set some summer goals. I’m notoriously bad at goal setting in that I make goals for myself all the time, I just never post the follow-up. While I can’t promise that there will be a companion piece at the … [Read more…]

Now that it’s finally really springtime in Chicagoland (I think), it’s time to make some smart seasonal money moves.

When MLM Schemes Hurt Instead of Help

April 10, 2017 by Penny 36 Comments

We’ve all seen it. You log onto Facebook, click through your email, or check your phone, and there it is. An invitation to fork over money to someone you haven’t seen in years. Of course, you’re not just giving them money. No, you’re generously rewarded with stuff. Wraps, oils, waxes, leggings, mascara, oh my! While I’ve … [Read more…]

Money, Marriage, and Motorcycles

August 29, 2016 by Penny 26 Comments

I don’t hate my husband’s motorcycle. I mean, it gets better mileage than his car, and it’s not like I didn’t know about it before we got married. So I try to maintain a cool, wary distance from it. You know, when I’m not giving it the side eye for taking up space in our … [Read more…]

He paid off his student loans flipping furniture. They paid off their mortgage re-selling estate sale finds. I made over $1,000 decluttering my closet. We’ve all seen the headlines. Some of us have even written them (guilty). But you know what? That’s not real life. Not all the time, anyway. When it comes to selling … [Read more…]

In the past few months, I’ve earned over $500 on Poshmark. This selling frenzy is the result of the grand effort to clean out my closets. That’s right. Closets. While I like to think I brought a lot of positive things to our marriage, I also brought a lot of stuff. Way, way too much … [Read more…]
