I suppose this is my attempt to show you what an average miles and points collector with a family and a full time job looks like.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Also this blog is about reselling. \u00a0I got into reselling in July of 2015. \u00a0It is something that I had been thinking about for some time but was nervous to try. \u00a0In July I dipped my toes in the reselling waters and was surprised by how smooth that experience went. \u00a0Since then I&#8217;m selling 1 to 2 items per month and have profited $1,055. \u00a0I am not an expert at reselling. \u00a0The point of this blog is to show others my experience and let people learn with me and\u00a0while you are learning with me you can earn some cash and\u00a0miles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I hope you enjoy the blog, please subscribe to my newsletter and also follow me on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pdxtraveltips\" target=\"_blank\">twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">By the way if you are a miles and points enthusiast and not on twitter, join. \u00a0A lot of deals break on twitter first.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, so I have to admit that a part of me really wants to do this MMS interview style, but I won&#8217;t&#8230;
