2024, that’s a wrap 🎊 Refelcting back on the year and I’m pretty proud of my antique booth and the sales I’ve had this year. It’s been a great side hustle that’s paid for a family vacation and supported my thrift store habbit 🤣

I of course have a spreadsheet that keeps track of all my sales and this beauty wins for the highest profit. Bought it for under $10 and sold for over $400! Luckily the buyer informed me it wasn’t “costume jewelry” like I listed it as, but in fact was an Opal ring 🫣 I think I’ll stick to flipping furniture!

🍻 cheers to 2025 and what this year might bring!

This is where we are today ➡️this is how it started! We opened our booth in December to fund our hobby of vintage shopping and while we have a lot to learn still, it’s profitable (but even the booth has a budget 😍)

Having a booth has always been a dream, when I was paying off debt there was no way I could imagine being here today, it wouldn’t generate enough to move the needle and it seemed like more play than work.

But here we are, funny how life turns out!

Does it actually cost money to get out of debt?

When I was trying to become debt free I was reading and listening to everything I could get my hands on that didn't cost money!

I had debt and paying to get out of debt was a hard pill to swallow.

And to this day I pay it forward. Free articles. Free tools. Free podcast.

Getting started TODAY couldn't be any easier and if I've learned anything over the years (both from my own story and working with people) it's that we wish we would have started sooner because it was a whole heck of a lot easier than being stuck in debt.
