$20 challenge update

January 15th, 2007 at 03:21 pm

$20 challenge:

Balance 1/6: $590

Ebay 1/15: 95

------------------
Balance 1/15: $685
------------------

Got my ebay money from 2 auctions. Our auction earned us $10.00 after fees - not bad!!!!! For an old video game.

MIL's auction earned $185. She was going to give us 1/2, we said 20%. She called me last night and insisted we take 1/2 and splurge on dh's birthday. I decided fancy dinner out and a movie would run about $75. So I Took $75 (before fees though - we'll eat them) and sent her $110. We had planned to maybe get a fancy $50 dinner at our favorite Indian restaurant regardless, but now that it is financed we figured we'd go to the movies. IT has been AGES.

She basically insisted we took 1/2 and so I think we took 40%. Not bad. She is coming up to babysit the kids saturday and so dh and I are having a BIG date night - hehe. That has been ages too...

I am not expecting to do so well every month - particularly with work being so CRAZY through the spring - just focusing all my energies on that now - trying anyway. January has been super profitable though - wow!!!!

    Go ebay! Great job and how nice of your MIL to give you a cut! My parents have given me things to sell, but unfortunatly nothing anyone wanted to buy!
    Happy birthday to your DH!
