How Buying, Selling, and Trading Has Excelled Our Lifestyle
The paperclip challenge as a regular, profitable lifestyle.
You know that Ted Talk where a young woman traded her way up from a paperclip to a house within a year?
That is my every day.
My husband and I full-time buy, sell, traders.
When I met my husband in high school, he was that kid that constantly had new cars, motorcycles, 4-wheelers, dirtbikes, you name it.
(one time he actually showed up for class on a golf cart)
Anyone that wasn’t in his inner circle probably chalked him up to being a spoiled rich kid that had ungoverned access to his parent's money.
At least, that was my first perception.
In actuality, he took his first paycheck from his pizza delivery job and bought a used BMX bike off of Kijiji.
Why is that significant?
He took the bike completely apart, cleaned up all its parts, painted the frame and reassembled it. He listed it back on Kijiji where he tripled his money.
A spark in him was ignited and he knew the possibilities of the buy, sell, trade side hustle were infinite.
And let me tell you, It’s so addicting!
