Coffee Money

Someone gave me $5 worth of coupons for coffee at the local coffee house. Since I don't drink coffee (how do i survive?) I sold this to a workmate for $4. I figure he gets a good deal and I get $4 for my double stake. It's only about 1% of what I need at this level, but what the hey. And look! For the first time in a LOOOOONG time I have more in my pocket than when I started the current level. I must be doing something right.

Bought and Sold a copy of Norton Antivirus

Some guy at my work sold me a copy of Norton Antivirus 2007 for $15. When I got home I realised that this was for Windows XP instead of Windows 2000. So, I put up an ad and sold it for $20, making $5 profit. The best part is that the guy who bought it just happened to work in the same building for a different company. Go figure. What are the odds. So now I'm $5 closer to my goal and have actually earned back all the money for the domain name and web space (but not with web activities, so it still remains to be seen if it was a profitable venture.)

Gambling Pays off Again!

I don't know if I am the luckiest person on earth or what, but ever since I delcared that all gambling I do (which is rare) will include a 10% contribution from the Double Challenge - I have won every time. The latest is that I went to the local Casino for my birthday. I did only a few spins of the roulette wheel for fun and my number came up on my third spin! I ended up making $114, 10% of which goes to the Double Challenge. I've added $11.40 to my stake. Man I'm lucky. I should play the lottery!
