This was just so neat, I had to share. I sell stuff online for a living. This allows me to stay home with my kids. I have five of them. My oldest just started Jr. High. I have two smaller school age children, plus two preschoolers. Most of my profits go to private school tuition. We were going over our finances and it was not looking good. I was down yesterday, thinking that I might have to home school, because the funds just weren't there to pay next months school bill.
Last night my husband, Mitch and I were in the workshop packing items. We have a netted trampoline in the huge workshop to keep the kids busy and active while we work in there. We didn't know it at the time, but my four year old daughter was going through a box of used books that we bought at an estate sale in a lot. The box has been in there, unopened, for at least a year. She starts crying when my oldest son took something from her. It turned out to be a sealed envelope that had been pressed into one of the books.
In the envelope were legal tender notes and coins from 1898 to 1917. I did a search on the value and it turns out there was enough profit in that old envelope to pay for two months of school! We were all celebrating last night and it was so good to have that load lifted off of me. I now have two months to be ahead and get more stuff sold.
