I use cash envelopes for the following: food, clothing, misc (non edible household items), gas, spending money and vehicle maintenance.Every month I fill these envelopes.

How did you help get storage space for clothing in a house 900 sq feet and smaller?

Additionally, I am in a somewhat similar position to you: looking for a place for my family to use, and STR in between.Regarding expenses:- Electric- Gas- Water- Internet- Netflix/Cable/etc- Paper product- Cleaning supplies- Coffee for guest- Fairly regular replacement of linens (sheets/towels/wash clothes)- Insurance- Taxes- Airbnb Fees- Local fees/taxes- Cleaning costs (yes reimbursable, but there is a fine balance between covering costs and not pissing off potential guests)- Mortgage costs- Maintenance costs- LandscapingThere are lots of nuances to running an airbnb.  

Unfortunately it is snowing at the moment so I am forced into warmer clothes.

Grandeur Hospitality bath towels, hand towel and wash cloths.

So doing this is somewhat like finding a needle in a haystack.So successful Multifamily investors tend to be cut from one of two cloths.

For me, if I don't go to my W-2, my kids won't have enough food on the table, clothes on their back, their won't be gas in the car, etc... the GOAL for me is to not have to worry about those things, because I have a better plan than a W-2 job in place, to provide those things. 

Risk is for the younger single guys, not the ones with a wife and 2 kids counting on them for their food, clothing and housing needs. 

Unlike other people, I had had an amazing amount of money, but I still drove a beat up Buick Roadmaster I paid $50 for and I wore the cheapest clothing I could buy and never changed my style clothing or hair when trends came and went.I will tell you why I made am amazing amount of money when I was a child and throughout my life.

Yeah, we have this magic "tell me machine" in our hands and we use it for everything from how to make dinner to health decisions, cloths, you name it.
