YARD SALE TIME!!!! And other things.

This is my favorite thing to do.  Purge the "stuff" out of my house and life.  I have done this many times now so it is like second nature.  What it does for me and my peace of mind is phenomenal.  Going through all the things you have collected over the span of a year or more and getting rid of what is useless or unnecessary can be so uplifting.  Like taking a weight off of your shoulders.  And a perk is that you could make a little money off of the castoffs.  As the saying goes..."One man's trash is another man's treasure."  I've never tried selling anything when I did this before.  Usually I just take everything to Goodwill.  This time, however, I need the extra cash so I'll try my hand at selling this stuff.  Not to mention that the weather has been wonderful lately.  Perfect for yard sales.  Unfortunately, I work on the weekends, so this will have to be a Friday only yard sale.  Maybe I will spread it out over a few Fridays.  At least until the weather changes.  Hopefully this will be a success and I can put some money into savings.  At the worst it will give me something to do during the week.  And Goodwill can always use more stuff to sell.

On to other matters.  What is the deal with car insurance??  Why is it that I have the least bit of car insurance possible and it costs me so much money?  It almost makes one want to sell the car and ride a bicycle everywhere.  In fact I am seriously considering that very thing.  At least I could get some exercise while running errands.  Oh.  And I would save a fortune just by not buying any gas!  So why is it so hard to get rid of the car?  Well, one disadvantage would be that I wouldn't be able to take my daughter to school any longer.  Rainy days would make it difficult also.  The library would involve back packs and taking out less books too.  Oh and trips to Savannah would involve renting a car.  YIKES!  Not much fun.  I think this would be easier if I lived in Savannah or another large city.  Or even downtown here.  Closer to the action so to speak.  Actually, if the city would put in a bike lane along all major roads I would switch to riding my bicycle now.  It wouldn't actually have to be paved either.  A dirt path would be nice.  Anything that keeps you from having to ride on a major highway risking life and limb.  Riding my bicycle everywhere and other  things that I am implementing should help save a lot of money.  It would make my current paycheck last alot longer at least.  Well enough of this.  I'm off to start the "stuff" purge.  See Ya'll Later.....
