Selling Stuff for Spare Cash

You really should not spend the last $100 from your paycheck on an overpriced T-shirt that says “Hooker” in rhinestones, but it’s so hard to resist paying a lot of money for unnecessary, cheesy crap. I feel your pain. If I made a good salary at a real job instead of freelance money, I’d just spend all the extra on Baywatch collectibles. I’m not judging; I’m here to help.

I figure that money that doesn’t come from a real job is designated fun money. Having $50 in your pocket from selling your CDs to the record store or what you rake in from your home haircut business is like finding cash in the pocket of your winter coat from last year. It’s money meant to be spent on something completely frivolous, like a gold-colored electric toothbrush that says “PIMP” on it.

Here are a few ways of getting rid of stuff you already own in order to make room for new stuff that you’ll buy with the money you make. Use your salary for rent and food and other boring necessities, and use this money for all the stuff you really don’t need.

Prince Bringing Purple Reign to Vegas

Wednesday, November 1, 2006

(11-01) 18:03 PST Los Angeles (AP) --

Prince fans, fire up that Little Red Corvette and head for Las Vegas: the purple one will be performing there every weekend starting Nov. 10.

The diminutive rocker will play Friday- and Saturday-night shows at 3121, a nightclub inside the Rio hotel, spokeswoman Alissa Kelly said Wednesday.

Tickets for the 21-and-over shows cost $125 and will be available beginning Nov. 2.

Prince will also host Wednesday-night concerts at the club by other artists.

The Grammy winner, who once changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol, will perform at the club indefinitely, Kelly said.

Prince joins a growing contingent of songsters who have settled in Vegas hotels as regularly featured acts, including Celine Dion, Elton John, Barry Manilow and Toni Braxton.
