Cash for Clutter

I have finally found a hobby that isn't costing me a fortune.  My current hobbies like my all women's gym = $1,200 a year.  I know, I'm overpaying but if I'm going to sweat it out it's going to be at a place that doesn't make me want to cringe.  Running, since I really just got really into it = $400 this year already.  I know, you're like: oh my god, running is free just move your legs!  Well you need sneakers to run, and if you run a lot you will need a couple pairs of them, and then when you enter a fun race that's like $100, and then you're like Oh I truly need insoles $40, and now a water belt $30, yeah so it adds up for something that's actually Free.  But I've done it, things are changing in my wallet.  I've sold 11 books on Amazon in just 1 day!  Many of them were not the "cool" books, in fact I would like to say that my sci-fi/fantasy books sold first and fast.  The first book I sold was a Stephanie Meyer book (not Twilight) and I did really love the book and it was hard to say goodbye, but now...my bookshelves have more space.  Now all my books fit in the bookshelves without piling over into piles on the floor and in weird places.  This is the most fruitful hobby that I've ever had: making space and making money.  Also, I sold a Jillian Michaels dvd set.  Don't judge me...it was too hard!!  I ran a half marathon 2 weeks ago and a 30 minute living room workout was too hard, yeah it sounds crazy, but that women is just like way too strong for me.  I was sick of looking at the set judging me for not trying harder, so I passed it on to someone who might be more motivated.  I should have written him a note that said: this box does not say you need equipment but you do, also this box does not say you will hate your life, but you will.  Cheers dude!
