Despite the fact that my retirement accounts were pummeled last month, I still managed a small increase in my net worth. It's no time for celebration though, because I need more, and faster, please.
I've decided to sell a few more pieces of jewelry on ebay. I spent yesterday morning making 6 listings. Not only is it a huge pain in the ass, but unless you're a super established seller or selling a big-name item, it's difficult to find buyers, even if you've got great pictures and a tiny starting price. For that reason I've only put up a few things that I think have a good chance of selling, and I'm going to bring the rest to my mom who will sell them for me at the consignment shop she frequents. I'll only see half the sales proceeds, but people expect to pay more in person than online anyway.
I have a couple things to report, so I'll be back soon to spill. Hope everyone has as happy (ha!) Monday.

Are you just using your free $50 from Sharebuilder to invest? Would you recommend them?

@Austin - Yes, I am. I haven't touched it since I opened the account years ago, so I can't really say much about Sharebuilder.
