Seek out treasures in your house.

Treasures are most likely waiting for you in your own attic.  

           In this tough financial climate we all have found ways to help our budgets.  However, you might just have some answers right under your feet.  What is in your attic, storage areas, and under your bed?  You might just have treasures that you have put away that are worth a lot more than the space they are taking up.  Baseball cards from your childhood or dolls that are rare that are tucked away where you never see them.  You might know you are saving them and you might not know.  So many things become collectors items with time that you might have some financial relief right at your finger tips.  If these items are tucked away maybe it would make sense to sell them now and help pay off some debt or put the money away for emergencies.  Or you might consider using this money for entertainment for the two of you.  Things like going to the movies or out to dinner.  Make a pact to use the money you make from these treasures for date nights or vacations.  In this manner, you don't have to take this money out of your budget, plus it might just help you clean out that attic.
