If you’re willing to do whatever it takes to make the jump to reselling full-time, and you have at least a one bedroom apartment with no roomates, then maybe consider moving out of your bedroom, reconfiguring your apartment as a studio (i.e. sleeping space in the living room), and then using your bedroom as your ebay storage and work area.
That way you have a door to shut between your “living” and your “work” areas, which may help you enforce the work/life boundaries that you want. I have worked remotely from home for 15 years, and I have found that having a clearly defined work space that I can walk away from is key.
It seems to me that the office space, no matter its perceived boon to your mental health, is a significant drag to your financial forward momentum. The numbers would be so much more in your favor without it.
I think it says “silver on copper”. There’s something overprinted on the “silver” which makes it a bit harder to read. There is lots of information online about identifying silver hallmarks but it can be a bit of a rabbit hole. It looks like a candle holder to me, too.
6 for me last week. Glad to hear you were able to rescue that kitty and find someone to help her, Amatino.
Wholeheartedly agree. Today in my shipping screen there was a note from ebay to the effect that “the USPS is having significant delays, consider using another service that provides a better customer experience”. I hate to see these sorts of messages.
Thanks, Sonia. I feel logically vindicated, at least! Small consolation but better than nothing.
26 for me last week. All were clothing or linens. I have a lot of clothing death piles, so the August challenge is my kick in the pants (no pun intended) to get some of it listed.
Well, schnizzlepuss. Thanks for taking the time to look at it anyway, PDX Cindy!
58 for me. I did a bunch of Christmas on the last day of the month (terminal procrastinator) and ended with a total of 11 for the month of July. None on Monday.
I think I’m 2 weeks behind in posting. I had 0 for the week July 20-26 (did a lot of drafts that I finished last week) and 10 for the week July 13-19. Sorry for the extra work, Amatino.
Looking forward to the August challenge! Question, do backpacks/messenger bags count? (Are these considered “fabric”)?
Weighing in as a tax professional, I have seen some truly awful returns prepared by H&R Block. And I’ve seen some that were well-prepared. Just depends on how competent and experienced the person you’re working with is. Senior Tax Analyst is apparently the 5th highest of the 6 H&R Block job titles, according to their website. I don’t know what you have to do to achieve that, but presumably it involves a bit of experience. If you felt good about the job she did, and your taxes aren’t all that complicated (from a professional standpoint), my guess is you’re likely fine.
Thought I’d chime in with my own experience. I thought I was applying for the grant only, but all the paperwork, promissory note, etc. said “loan” so I thought well, maybe it eventually converts to a grant.
Then I checked my bank and saw two deposits on different days of $1K each. Since I only signed one promissory note, I was confused. My SBA guy responded that one payment was my grant and one payment my loan. So, apparently I applied for both without realizing it. So maybe it’s true that you can’t apply for one without the other, or maybe I just clicked the wrong box somewhere.
Retro, I was able to find the loan agreement in my account, right on the first page. At the bottom it says “review & sign closing documents-completed”…when I click through to that, I see the loan agreement. I’m sure you’ve probably already checked that but offering it up, just in case.
