Day 1 of the Money Lab. I started with a simple rule: if I haven’t used it in 12 months, it’s for sale. First victim: an old treadmill that’s been holding my laundry hostage. Posted it on Facebook Marketplace for $150, got an offer for $120 in two hours. Took it. Cash in hand is better than a perfect price. Then I went after smaller stuff: A box of Lego my son outgrew ($45), two golf clubs collecting dust in the garage ($35), and a set of kitchen knives still in their box ($25). By the end of the week, I’d turned junk into $225. Here’s the thing — you don’t need “entrepreneurial talent” to do this. You need speed. List the item as soon as you decide to sell, use clear photos, and never waste time holding for “maybe buyers.” This $225 is now the seed for Challenge 2. And for the first time, my garage can breathe again. #Finance #MakeMoney #SideHustle #DeclutterToCash
