My DH and I made a decision a while back, exactly 2 weeks ago, to start selling stuff we don't use or need anymore. It started with little things, and ended up with some furniture pieces.
So far we made about 5K. It is a pretty good amount of money! Beside that, we made some extra money by selling things on craigslist to be able to pay off our Laptop from Dell & my small collection! Not bad, at all!
Tonight after our dinner, we'll sit down and make a decision what to pay first, if anything, or just keep the money in our account for an emergency, until we save some more money that we can count on as an Emergency funds.
As I mentioned before, we don't have any savings nor emergency funds. We are thinking about to pay off some small credit cards, collections and loans, and then jump on to the big ones. Until then, we will keep this 5K in our account, and make sure we add as much as possible money to this amount so we can finally in a month or two pay off other small loans & credit cards, and of course couple of other collections we have.
My DH told me that it would be a good idea to hold on to this money because we're expecting a baby any moment now, and because of that, we might need some money for the baby or something that will come unexpected.
At least... we're heading towards our financial freedom!
