The first month of my No Buy Year is done. I am excited to keep working on this goal because my results have been WOW!
One of my rules for this No Spend Year is that I can sell any of my stuff and use that money how I see fit. So I wanted to share the results for the money I made from selling my own items. I made a whopping $53.03. I sold a baby activity table on Facebook Marketplace for $8. I priced it low and it sold within the hour. I sold 5 items on Poshmark for $45.23. If you want to hear about the exact items I sold, check out the video up above. Also, use this link to get $10 off your first Poshmark order. You will get $10 and I will get $10.
Another rule I have for my No Spend Year is no Amazon purchases. I decided to compare my January 2020 Amazon orders with my January 2021.
Now onto the exciting parts!

In January 2020 we made an extra principal mortgage payment of $500.
