OOOOH! I had completely forgotten about the things I've collected over the years (in preparation for the pains being too great to work)...I could always sell them on route somewhere.
I've got at least about $600 worth of Native American style flutes (total spent is much higher, though, and was planning on leaving them for my nieces and nephews).
Also, I've got a lot of tools, Makita cordless (eh, probably about $200, $450 at maximum. They are old), Sroll saw, belt sander, stationary belt sander, cheap drill press (Probably not worth more than $250 to $400...They are definitely not the best machines...Well, except for the two belt sanders, however, there both worth no more than about $80, O_o).
Math books, though, they'd only bring about $100 to $175 (Number theory, combinatorics, abstract, linear mostly).
What else do I have? Not my computers...Those are about the only things that my body allows me to enjoy regularly, ๐ . I do have some miniature cat trees for dollhouses I used to make. If I can sell those at full price, en route, that could bring about $175.
So there's a chance I could make it a month or two, ๐ค .
Ok, I could part with the HP pavillion and my toshiba laptop, as long as I had a place to put a desktop, but those two can't be worth more than $150, $200 maximum.
These are things I was (sort of) allowed to collect over my working years. I was berated every time I saved money, so I had used these things as ways of attempting to make money. I just didn't count on the home environment making that almost impossible.
