Hello,
I will tag my friend here, @steemmatt, who inspired me for this challenge and to take this journey.
So last week I started the challenge on how to make money without a dime in the pocket, so with 0 assets except time and my traits.
Will try to do a weekly update and to show at the end of each post the progress or regress made each time I post.
This week I wanted to stay more at home and not to travel. On Monday I received a call that I needed to head out to Czech Republic and I came back only today, so there was very little time for this challenge.
I managed to get a wooden chair from ebay kleinanzeigen which is the equivalent to craigslist in Germany. It is in pretty bad condition and very dirty. I will clean it and try to repair it. Still need to check if there are missing parts to it and how can I get them.
I picked it up by foot as I don't want to use the car and pay for gas at the moment or at least till I don't do bigger flips.
I plan to sell this for at least 20€ if it is complete as the prices go roundabout 25€ on the same product.
I like to live in a clean area and care about the environment. Once a week I do a round about the block with two trash bags, one for stuff that can be recycled the other for normal trash and tide the surroundings of my block up. It takes 10-15 minutes to do so. In Germany the plastic bottles are worth money so most of the time I let them close to the trash cans to be picked up by homeless people or I donate the funds.
This time I will use the funds for the experiment as they are a good source of leverage.
So I have now 1.5€, a chair which need some work and which can be sold and 25 minutes spent in total with it.
Task for next week is to achieve 5 € and to sell the chair and get a new object for the flip. I think I have an easy task in Germany but it is easy that I somehow know the deal and I think that in over 50% one can start with nothing but willpower.
