Trading one for another...
I love the concept of out with the old (and getting money for it) and in with the new.
In that spirit we have made several purchases lately that were exciting. With the purchase of our new iPhones, we obviously had no need for our "old" phones, both of which were in great condition.
So, I listed each on Craigslist and have now officially sold BOTH! Wahhooo! We got great money for them too. All said and done our iPhones were pretty darn cheap since Steve's was only about $40 after the sale of his Dash and mine about $80 after the sale of my SK3! How awesome is THAT!
If only we could pay the monthly bill this way too -- HA!
With the sale of Steve's old truck we chose to not put the money down on the new one directly since the APR was so incredibly low (free money doncha know)! So we took some of that money and plopped it down on a new (to him) motorcycle! He has been a very happy man jetting around on his bike like he used to do all the time, which of course makes me a happy woman. ;)
Not to mention the financial bonus to him being on a bike! He now is able to keep the miles from his work commute off the new truck as well as saving mega bucks on gas! The bike (obviously) gets WAY better gas mileage...and with gas as high as it is now, this is a huge bonus to us!
So, out with the old - and in with the new! I am loving this. It has me wanting to go through all of our rooms, closets and hiding spots and just start SELLING! I know we have far too many things that are just lying around going unused in our home. This may just have to become a project for me. Perhaps I will start a little side account for the money to go in so I can have myself a fun little shopping trip to reward my efforts when I am done! ;)
