How I Funded My Vacation Just by Selling Clothes Online

The Story

"I was scrolling through my closet one day and realized half the clothes I owned hadn’t been worn in years. Designer jeans, jackets, sneakers — all just sitting there. Instead of letting them gather dust, I listed them on Poshmark, Depop, and eBay. At first it felt small — $20 here, $50 there — but over six months, I made $1,200. I used that money to pay for a week-long vacation to Mexico. It felt amazing to fund a trip without touching my paycheck or going into debt."
