Ok so now Christmas is over. Well actually we're still in the Holiday Season so maybe you haven't thought of it yet . But what are we going to do with the gifts we received for Christmas? Amy Baldwin and Amber Veverka of the Charlotte N.C. Observer have some good ideas. Let's look at a few:
If you've ever moved into a new home, had a child, or just lived in this American culture for more than a moment, there comes a day when the stuff you own turned on you.
You opened a closet to be assaulted by shirts and shoes. You stepped into your child's room and were sucked in a quagmire made entirely of bright plastic objects. You looked into your living room and saw so much furniture there was no longer room for living.
So here we are, the day after Christmas looking at all that "stuff" under the tree...we've proudly shown our haul to parents and aunts and uncles and now its time to "deal with it". There are actually a few very good helps that you can use to move out old clutter and make way for new things..or maybe just unclutter your world a little..which is a good thing. The two most popular ways to move out the old and move in the new are www.eBay.com and www.Craigslist.org..
How you chose to unclutter will depend on how much time you want to invest and how much money, if any, you care to collect. Donate your stuff and you're guaranteed to get rid of it all fast, but you get a tax write-off instead of cash. If you want to sell your stuff, eBay, which reaches prospective buyers across the globe, gets you top dollar, but you have to do some legwork and pay fees. Craigslist.org is free, but you reach a smaller, local audience. Tomorrow we will take a look at a these sites plus other ideas on ways of turning your clutter into cash.
Again from my family here at Save a Penny Save the World hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas!!! And as always Happy Saving!!!!
