BACKSTORY: Got up around 08:10, made it out driving by 08:24 and went out until 11:59 for a total of 03:35 hours. Spent $67.75 plus ~$4.42 gas for 53.5 miles of driving (30.6mpg @ $2.53/G), for a total cost of $72.17. We drove to 22 yard sales, stopping at 15 (68%) of them. We made 23 purchases (26 items) for a total estimated value of $259.71, leading to a profit/savings of $187.54. So in essence, we multiplied our $72.17 investment by 3.6. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $213.77 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $187.54 in cash that we saved. How long does $187.54 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 03:35 hrs we spent here?) Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* wage of $37.51/hr as a couple or $18.75/hr per person.
