Good morning from RetireHub!
It’s Monday and today we're diving into how you can turn your dusty tools into extra cash! As always, we have exciting deals, tips, and more to brighten your day!
🚨Heads up! It's not the publicly traded tech giant you might expect… Meet $MODE, the disruptor turning phones into potential income generators. Investors are buzzing about the company's pre-IPO offering.1
📲Mode saw 32,481% revenue growth from 2019 to 2022, ranking them the #1 overall software company on Deloitte’s most recent fastest-growing companies list2 by aiming to pioneer "Privatized Universal Basic Income" powered by technology—not government. Their flagship product, EarnPhone, has already helped consumers earn & save $325M+.
🫴 Mode’s Pre-IPO offering1 is live at $0.25/share — 20,000+ shareholders already participated in its previous sold-out offering. There’s still time to get in on Mode’s pre-IPO raise and even lock in 100% bonus shares3… but only until their current raise closes for good.

TURN YOUR TOOLS INTO EXTRA CASH
Got a shed full of tools collecting dust? It's time to let them see the light of day—and make you some money while they're at it!
Here's how you can start renting out your tools:
List on Peer-to-Peer Rental Platforms: Websites like Fat Llama and LendMyStuff connect you with folks nearby who need tools for their projects. Just snap some pictures, set your price, and you're good to go!
Leverage Local Apps: Apps such as Nextdoor let you reach out to neighbors. Someone down the street might need that leaf blower or power drill you've got sitting idle.
Post on Community Boards: Swing by your local coffee shop or community center and pin up a friendly note. Sometimes, the classic methods work wonders.
Set Clear Terms: Be sure to outline your rental rates, deposit requirements, and the borrowing period. Keeping things clear helps everyone stay on the same page.
Keep Your Tools in Tip-Top Shape: Regular maintenance not only ensures your tools last longer but also keeps renters happy and coming back.
By renting out your tools, you're not just earning extra cash—you’re also helping out someone who needs a hand. Plus, it's a great way to meet people in your community.
So next time you walk past that barely-used ladder or saw, think about turning it into a nifty little side hustle!

Longevity Tip of the Day
Be food safe — About 3,000 Americans die from food poisoning annually, say the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Even seemingly healthy foods — like sprouts, cantaloupe, berries and raw tuna — can make you sick or even kill you, says the FDA. Your action plan: Keep your kitchen pristine, wash your hands and utensils before and after handling food, separate raw and cooked foods, refrigerate perishable food promptly, and cook food to a safe temperature to kill deadly bacteria.
Slang Phrase of the Day
Phrase: “W”
Meaning: To most, it's just a letter of the alphabet, but to Gen Zers, it simply means "win."
In a sentence: “The Chiefs got the W last night.”
