Sell everything but the kids!

**eofelis** · 08-21-2010, 06:14 PM

I went to a multi-family yardsale today. I asked if it was a benefit sale or something and I found out that it was a group of people that had been doing a Dave Ramsey course.

This exercise was to "sell everything but the kids" to raise money for EFs or snowballing. It was fun to talk frugal with them a bit!

I got a nice large reusable cold pack for the SO for 35c and a clock radio for $1. I can't figure out how to make the clock radio work, so maybe it's junk

Well that's cool about them all doing DR, but not cool about your clock.

Agree, cool about the yard sale. I wish we lived, just long enough, somewhere where a yard sale would go. We are ( right now ) the only house on the street and slightly in the middle of nowhere but yet in a housing community. Hard to explain. But I like it with no neighbors.

How do you get the info. at the bottom of all the posts? How do you do the challenges. I have read and listened to the DR books & tapes. I am looking to reduce our spending and to declutter the house also. Like the visual reminders.

that's great about the sale, bummer about your clock.

We started the DR classes - just finished class 2.

Already read the book, just thought I may get something out of the class that I was missing doing it on our own.

so far, so good. but I wonder... just wonder if I could sell just one kid???

Mahalo for the reminder - I bought one of his books,but never started it - I'm sure it works much better if you read the book!!

What a great idea for a yard sale!!
