Rob Scores and his wife, Julianne, didn’t spend much time planning or saving for their Puerto Rico vacation. Selling old jewelry helped them take off.
However, because the trip was an impulse, they had to get creative to be able to cover the $5,000 it would cost. Although Scores says they would have taken the trip regardless, they wanted extra cash on hand to be able to get the most out of their trip — and avoid going into debt.Feeling out of the loop?

The Austin, Texas-based couple lives well on a joint six-figure income. Julianne lost her full-time tech job in 2023, which made money a bit tighter, but they still feel comfortable managing their typical expenses, including some credit card debt and payments on a truck, Scores says. Julianne has been taking on freelance gigs while looking for full-time work.
The couple decided to try to sell the jewelry — some necklaces and earrings — Julianne has had since she was a teen, Scores says. After perusing reviews on Google, they decided to try their luck with TheAlloyMarket.com. To their surprise, the jewelry scored the couple $729 they could put toward their Puerto Rico trip.When it came to selling the jewelry, the couple had"no hesitation whatsoever," Scores says.
The couple has a general savings fund, but Scores says they didn't want to dip into it too much to pay for their trip. Selling the jewelry allowed them to meet that goal while still doing excursions in Puerto Rico such as snorkeling and off-roading.
