I am afraid I have only used the Sell on Ebay that you list. I do not do any of the others because I do not, nor have I ever had a cell phone, I have a land line phone! I also do not have high speed interenet, only cheap 9 bucks a month dial up, slow yes but works for my needs for now although the kids complain they can not play online games! I free up money by only spending $200 a month on groceries for a family of 5. I invest some every month as I am really trying to work on bringing in passive and portfolio income. I write articles on associated content, while not much, it does bring in something every month from $20 to a $100 depending on how much I am able to write in any given month. I have held garage sales to raise quick cash and as a result went for 3 years with NO furniture. I do not have cable Tv, I refuse to pay for something that use to be a free service and still is if you use those boxes they have now. Also we scrap metal for cash which can bring in quite a varied income from month to month but something we find fun and any extra money is a bonus, amazing how much is made of metals when you really start being aware of it! I also plan errands so I don't waste gas, only grocery shop once a month then two other times in the month I lump library, parks, bank errands, laundry and what ever else I need to do into those two other days so I only go to town a total of 3 times a month at most in any given month. I also go for pop bottle walks for returnable cans when weather allows not only giving me nice extra cash monthly but health and exercise as well! Nice Article!

Some of the examples were affixed to the different pieces of advice. I like how you keep it personal, like with your life insurance policies. I look forward to the follow-up article where you discuss the other half of cash flow too;) Very nice piece. Some of the examples were affixed to the different pieces of advice.

A refi may or may not increase your cash flow, it may save you money in the long run, but the money for closing costs is going to put a dent in your immediate cash flow. Also, just because a lower rate is available, it doesn't necessarily mean refinancing is a good idea. It would be best to crunch the numbers for yourself and talk to a trusted professional. Preferably someone that has nothing to gain or lose from your decision. I agree 100% with the ATM charges – they add up quickly!
