Are the two of you on the same page on the household finances? Or are you doing the budgeting solo?

He does know and we do our budget together. It was just part of our conversation about the budget that we need to bring in a bit more income. If my disability goes up a little more it won't even be an issue. It is just taking the VA forever to give us a decision.

For the past few years until just recently I sold used books on Amazon.com and half.com. I did pretty good about 300.00 a month. Many others do much better but I was very limited in time and room. I got 90 percent of my books from The Salvation Army store and the Good Will. Just a thought. If you want more info email me off list. Diane

Great idea. I will have to give that a try.

Excellent - then you have a really great guy there.

I have a wonderful dh also. His construction business is slow in MI right now and he is working a second job. I handle the finances unless there is a large purchase. He doesn't want anything to do with them. He trusts me with them as I have been doing this for 34 years and we've always had money in the bank and debt gets paid off quickly.

Did you buy certain kinds of books to sell? Is it more expensive to sell on ebay?

Thanks,
