Thanks to Earth Day, we saw a segment on the Today show about recycling old electronics.
So I decided to check on the value of the electronics we have at Gazelle.com. Our two laptops that we never use anymore are worth a combined total of $268.
I plan to also recycle some items that don't hold any value (internal computer hard drive, Palm Pilot, our extra desktop and camera)
I'm looking forward to more space & more money in my life with less clutter.
This is not to say we may not one day get a laptop, but we've been holding onto these old electronics forever that just take up space. Its nice to know we are actually getting paid to do something good for the environment.
I also received the clothes I purchased so I went into my closet today and purged some of the items that I haven't worn in a long time. Essentially I have a basic rule, I receive 4 things, I take 4 things out. This way, clutter doesn't accumulate in my life and the clothes I get rid of are donated to Goodwill.
One of these days I'll get down to the essentials, for now I'm still working on it. Slowly but surely I'm getting there.
Extra money found

But that said, I'm also trying to adopt a minimalist lifestyle cause, at least in my life, more stuff = more time to clean and maintain it which equals time I'd rather spend enjoying life
