BACKSTORY: Got up around ~7:50AMish, made it out driving by 8:45 and went out until 12:53 PM (stopping at McDonald's for soft serve and The Dollar Store, so we got home at 1:47) for a total of 4 hours. Spent $80.70 plus ~$4.62 gas for 50.2 miles of driving (27.5 mpg @ $2.53/G), for a total cost of $85.32. We drove to 20 yard sales, stopping at 12 (60%) of them. We made 59 purchases (118 items) for a total estimated value of $557.27, leading to a profit/savings of $476.57. So in essence, we multiplied our $80.70 investment by 6.91. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $543.22 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $476.57 in cash that we saved. How long does $543.22 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 4 hrs we spent here?). Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $95.31/hr as a couple or $47.66/hr per person.

Spent $80.70 plus ~$4.62 gas for 50.2 miles of driving (27.5 mpg @ $2.53/G), for a total cost of $85.32. We drove to 20 yard sales, stopping at 12 (60%) of them. We made 59 purchases (118 items) for a total estimated value of $557.27, leading to a profit/savings of $476.57. So in essence, we multiplied our $80.70 investment by 6.91. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $543.22 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $476.57 in cash that we saved. How long does $543.22 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 4 hrs we spent here?). Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $95.31/hr as a couple or $47.66/hr per person.

BACKSTORY: Got up around 7:25AM, made it out driving by 8:02 and went out until 1:05 (ate and went to Goodwill afterward and got home at 2:49PM) for a total of 5 hours. Spent $67.32 plus ~$5.60 gas for 72.7 miles of driving (37.5 mpg @ $2.89/G), for a total cost of $71.92. We drove to 38 yard sales, stopping at 15 (39%) of them. We made 27 purchases (33 items) for a total estimated value of $800.69, leading to a profit/savings of $734.37. So in essence, we multiplied our $66.32 investment by 12X. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $837.08 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $734.37 in cash that we saved. How long does $734.37 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 5 hrs we spent here?) Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $146.91/hr as a couple or $73.46/hr per person.
