side hustle: work that brings in cash; something other than your main job
The side hustle is a common topic of conversation at my office. Having one is a point of pride. Spin instructor, bartender, weekend retail, selling designer stuff on Ebay…anything to make some money.
I believe that everyone needs a hobby. My office believes that everyone needs a side hustle. This week I found a way to make those one and the same.
I walked past this solid oak four-drawer file cabinet on the curb. Beautiful! I already have one just like it, and Read said that our house really has enough furniture and can I please not put more in it? So I brought it home and posted on Craigslist.
It came with old file folders and everything.
And just like that, a nice woman in a minivan came by yesterday and gave us $250 for the cabinet.
BAM….SIDE HUSTLE!!
The woman said she especially liked this Craigslist picture with Edith:
Congrats on the side hustle. I love the oak filing cabinet, we had bought one brand new to use as a lingerie chest, and it’s perfect for that.
Pets in Craigslist postings get me every time. Love it!
haha yes the woman who bought it said she DID love the cat photo
Holy cow, that thing is gorgeous! I need to look in more alleys, methinks…
guess one needs to live in your neighborhood where you find a LOT of stuff on the curb…less of a side hustle would be possible here…:)
I really like tihs file cabinet–and your side hustle. I think it’s a great idea. you can save money for our next vacation together.
Awesome.
Way to go Katie !
I LOVE this cabinet! The folders make it even better for some reason?
Why am I not ever able to find these finds?
