You don’t have to be a decluttering maniac à la Marie Kondo to appreciate getting rid of things. Selling some dusted stuff like worn clothes, shoes, toys, or books can generate pretty decent household income, not only for freelancers.
But where to sell? Here, the Vinted app (made in Europe) comes to the rescue — a very active marketplace for (mostly) second-hand items enables users to build their little piece or circular economy. We’ve been using the app for years, and it’s flawless! However, each country market within Vinted is different, so you need to try it yourself.

Need a little push today at work? Try Bulletproof coffee, aka butter or keto coffee, a trending drink for supporting brain health and performance.
The original recipe was intended to be a part of a keto diet, but it soon spun a myriad of variants. Our home favorite is coffee made in a French press, mixed with a spoon of quality coconut oil, a cup of milk and a speck of cinnamon in a blender. Cheers! ☕
