This was an excellent response! I am extremely grateful you took the time to write this up. It gives me a lot better understanding of things and is inspiring some new ideas. I'm curious about your experience in collecting recyclables. I've been in some interesting/desperate situations as well! I used to go to dumpsters around local apartment complexes and pick up furniture and what not and re-sell it. My biggest single find was a large antique mirror that I sold for $300! A lot better than cans.

- DoreenMichele 7y agoI was homeless at the time. I feel like there's a lot of downside to me trying to get into the specifics. Suffice it to say it paid cash the same day, which gave me immediate feedback on which actions were profitable and which weren't. This helped me develop solid mental models that generalized concerning where to invest time and effort in developing an income.
