It all started with this bad boy.

Or girl.

Clearly a girl.

The phone is white.

If you are a boy and you are carrying around the white iPhone, I assume you are secretly a girl.

Anyhow, back to the point of this “how to become a millionaire” post.

So once upon a time I got bored.

Well, when I get bored I apparently think that ordering new cell phones is a good idea.

So that’s what I did.

A whopping month later the phone shows up at my doorstep (which would be yesterday).

And this is where I got smart.

I thought to myself “self….I am not even that excited right now that UPS just delivered this shiny nugget of Heaven…you must sell it on Craigslist.”

You see, Craigslist kinda rules this house.

If we want it, we go to Craigslist.

If we don’t want it, we go to Craigslist.

If we decide it is time for one of us to cash in on our life insurance policy, we go to Craigslist.

 

Yes, I have increased my husband’s life insurance policy since he has started shopping on Craigslist.

You may call it bad luck.

I call it owning a lush pad with a huge pool, driving a benz, and having one of those cool washers that Kelly Ripa endorses.

 

Anyhow. I didn’t even open the package.

My husband listed it on Craigslist.

30 minutes later we had 5 people wanting to buy it.

Sold.

 

I am now $425 richer..

All thanks to a little dose of boredom.

 

And that my friends, is how you make $400+ in 5 minutes.

 

You know how else to make $400 in 5 minutes?

Build your own coffee table instead of buying one at some fancy store.

Remember how I said I saw this on Pinterest and was enrolling my husband to make one for me?

Taaaa-da.

 

He built the darn thing and it turned out pretty freaking well if you ask me.

Now, we do not have it in it’s official location yet nor do we have it all prettied up with little pieces of decoration, but it’ll get there.

The best part? It was SO easy.

Oh right, I didn’t do anything.

 

I think I am telling you all of this today just because I really really wanted to participate in my besties Steph and Katie’s “Saw It. Pinned It. Did It.” link-up party today.
