I cleaned out my parents' house and my money increased
Hello/Good evening, this is Tonikaji.
I'm cleaning up again today.
I cleaned up and my money increased.
When I cleaned up, my money increased.
What kind of "it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good" story is that...
Let me explain.
Clean up
Things buried in clutter are unearthed
The items that come out sometimes have value
Unused, brand-new items can be sold
Since there are many items, the buyback amount is also large
See, if you clean up, your money increases, obviously.
I thought about the abundance of wedding favors.
People in the old days really loved wedding favors, didn't they...
This is the "wedding favor tower" that appeared while cleaning the second floor.

They kept coming out, so I tried stacking them, but they quickly exceeded my height (I'm 146cm).
They must have been things to give each other on various occasions.
Wedding gifts, baby gifts, retirement commemorations, return gifts for funerals... the pretexts were endless.
The items themselves were also all sorts of things: towels, handkerchiefs, plates, aprons, blankets, and so on.
And they aren't being put to use, are they...
There are plenty of other towels, and my mother won't throw them away even when they're worn out.
The cycle is stagnant.
For 35 years, the amount used has continued to be less than the amount received.
Looking up at the wedding favor tower that had become taller than me, I thought about such things.
Taking them to a recycle shop
I can't just keep stacking them, so I'm taking them to a recycle shop.

This isn't just one or two piles like this.
Piled up in the room, piled up in the car, piled up at the purchase counter,
I've been bringing various unwanted items in for purchase since 2024, and now in 2025, the total amount from those purchases has exceeded 20,000 yen.

Each time, the purchase amount is quite good.
When I cleaned up, my money increased.
When I cleaned up, my money increased!
I just took the cycle that had been stagnant and turned it into recycling,
and my money increased!
My money increased!!!
Things like this also help maintain motivation to keep cleaning up.
Anyway, I'm going to clean up my parents' house!! Let's clean up and get rich!!
