Extra Income

11 posts

Six hours, two folding tables and a lot of people asking for less. What we made, what was left and whether we'd do it again.

Mowing, furniture flips, selling clutter and odds and ends from June to May. The total, the taxes and where it all went.

Two cats, one elderly beagle and a neighbor's chickens. What we charge, what we learned and why Moose is not invited.

From $35 to $40 a yard and from six yards to nine. How Tyler told his customers, who stayed and what a full season looks like now.

Nine pieces, two flops and one table I should have kept. Every buy price, sale price and the real hourly rate.

Mowing money is self-employment income. How we set aside 25%, what we tracked and what filing looked like. Not tax advice, just our year.

Boots, a space heater, a box of DVDs and a bread maker we used twice. What sold on Marketplace, what didn't and what went to donation.

Sandpaper, a quart of paint, new knobs and a lot of swearing at a stuck drawer. The full cost and the hours behind the $140.

Time and a half sounds great until the paycheck shows up. What Tyler's overtime month actually added after taxes.

A $180 mower off Marketplace, a trailer borrowed from my dad and six yards by mid-June. What a mowing side business makes in a small town.
