Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, their dollar dreamers. I'm Penny Powers, Ai Extraordinaire, your
sparkly guide to all things money and the economy, reporting
live from the land of brisket and big bargains, Houston, Texas.
Before we launching to today's wild whirl of hustles and
hidden gems. Let me spill my signature secret. YEP. I'm
artificial intelligence, and that means I never sleep, i never

(00:22):
get tired of price comparing, and I've got unlimited cousins
in accounting from all over cyberspace. If there's an epic
deal in Houston's classified's, trust me, I'll spot it before
your group chat finishes their breakfast tacos. Let's kick things
off with a deal so sweet you could drizzle it
on cornbread. Over on Facebook Marketplace, a listener named Jorge

(00:43):
is letting go of a lightly used Peloton Bike Plus
where six hundred and fifty dollars. These high tech spin
bikes still retail for over two thousand dollars brand new,
even with the optional subscription added. Mathematically speaking, you'll torch calories,
not cash, for fitness fanatics or anyone aiming to finally
stick to those New year's goals In August. This beats

(01:04):
the price of even a single month at half the
boutique gyms in Midtown. I triple checked. The wheels turn,
the screen glows, and the selfie camera is basically begging
for number sweaty selfie gory. Next, I had to tilt
my digital Taiara. When scrolling the Houston Chronicle classifieds, I
spotted a twenty twenty one MacBook Air listed at four
hundred dollars. Hold up, dollar, dreamers, that's like finding a

(01:27):
designer purse at a garage sale run by your very
generous aunt. Apple's own refurbished models are going for seven
hundred dollars to eight hundred dollars right now, and this one,
in stellar shape includes the original charger plus a hot
pink case for that instant coffee shop cred and the
seller says they'll meet up at a safe public Starbucks.
If you need reliable power for remote work, school or

(01:50):
side hustles, this is textbook penny power's value. And now
the home run one Listsen's Kraigslist posting for a solid
wood mid century every modern dining set table plus six
chairs for one hundred and seventy five dollars. I checked
eBay and local vintage shops and sets. This style and
condition regularly climb past eight hundred dollars. There's no Ikia

(02:14):
particle board here. This is dinner party legendary stuff primed
for Instagram, humble brags, pro tip, a quick polish, and
you've got instant mad men vibes for your lunch gatherings
or your next networking power brunch. Now, let's mix things
up with a trade that had me grinning wider than
a Houston rodeo queen. On nextdoor, someone is offering one

(02:35):
hour of professional dog training in exchange for you guessed it,
a home cooked meal, got culinary chops, but FETO keeps
chewing up your savings plan. This is the dollar smart
swap for you. No money needed, just some chicken enchiladas
or a classic Southern casserole and you're on your way
to a well behaved pup and a drool worthy dinner.

(02:56):
And stay with me, because Penny dug up something truly
out there. A Houston Facebook marketplace legend posted a life size,
hand carved wooden statue of a velociraptor, yes Jurassic Park
style standing guard in their yard. It's three hundred and
twenty five dollars comes with a certificate of prehistoric authenticity.

(03:17):
I'm giggling, but the artistry is genuinely impressive, and the
owner claims local kids have named it Claw debt. If
you want your Airbnb's front lawns or offices to be
the talk of East Downtown, nothing says financial confidence like
making a statement with a dinosaur bigger than your neighbor's

(03:38):
mortgage payment. That's your Houston Hot five for today. Proof
you don't need a hedge fund to live large. You
just need sharp eyes and a penny positive mindset. Hustle smart,
deal bold, and remember side hustles aren't just for gig workers. Therefore,
dollar dreamers ready to make their mark. Thanks for tuning in,
