New personal finance tip: How to generate positive cash flow while traveling the country (or world! right now.
As many of you know, I enjoy traveling. But traveling, especially traveling extensively, has one problem: it costs money. And unless you had a fully-remote job, it was always difficult to sustain long-term travel... until now.
A few months ago, I rented an Airbnb in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, with several of my friends from college for Memorial Day weekend. While we had a blast on our trip, my credit card statement on Sunday morning gave me an existential panic.
I had spent $5,400 in 72 hours. (bottle service at Miami's Club Space isn't cheap!)
As I stared at my credit card, pondering how I would possibly pay off this month's balance, a novel idea began taking shape in my mind.
I glanced around our Airbnb and realized that I was surrounded by furniture.
Furniture that someone might pay a lot of money for.
I snapped a picture of the dining room table, uploaded it to Facebook marketplace, and wrote "dining room table + 6 chairs available for $600! Must pick up today."
Within an hour, the table was gone, and I was $600 richer.
I quickly repeated this process with the outdoor pool furniture, grill, beds, couches, and televisions in the Airbnb. By the time I Ubered to the airport for my flight home, I had $6,500 in my wallet.
My trip, where I spent $5,400, actually returned a positive ROl!
I have since repeated this process in San Diego, Washington DC, and Denver, making between $5,000 and $8,000 per trip, depending on the size of the house and the quality of the furniture.
And before anyone says, "This is theft! You should go to prison!" I would like to highlight that Airbnb has host insurance, so the hosts actually benefit by getting *new* furniture. It's a win-win for everyone, except maybe Airbnb corporate.
But Airbnb is a $100B publicly traded company, so they'll be alright.
Has anyone else tried this? Please share your thoughts below!

@samir @timkmak @cromern @stribeprogblog Yep, #WorkSmarterNotHarder is the name of the game! Even some #Mastodon apps can add tags for you automatically. #IceCubes on #iOS is simply “push the icon that looks like a printer -> add tags”. The tags here were automatically added; I defined nothing.

Wondering if I should do my errands now or clean now so I'm doing neither and just wasting time.

Looking at this yarn winder and swift set but how does the swift work if your yarn is in a skein instead of a hank? I have never bought a hank of yarn. I’ve only boght cakes or skeins.
Am I going to have to wind the yarn onto the swift to wind it onto the winder? Seems like a lot of work but I’m bad at winding yarn balls manually and they come out so neat and tidy on the winder.

Y'all, planks are much easier if you don't use your arms, and just put your chest directly on the floor.

I do not understand how #NYT is highly #influential, but they are
#theAtlantic just had another #gem about how it’s ok to #mask some of the time, but not necessarily all the time, comparing this concept to the #adage #WorkSmarterNotHarder which is #tbh stupid to begin with.. #nonsensical
THAT’S NOT HOW AIR WORKS!
This is not how any of this works🤦🏻♀️ #whataboutism
