The $100 Sprint: From Broke to Banked in 7 Days

Jamal Turner is 22, has exactly $100 to his name, and owes $800 in rent in seven days. If he fails, his brother drags him to a predatory payday lender. His only way out: turn that hundred into eight hundred in one week. What follows is a day-by-day race through thrift store bins, clearance aisles, and a Saturday flea market, where every flip is a fight and the clock never stops. He battles a mid-week dry spell, a buyer running a refund scam, and the neon temptation of easy loan money at his lowest point. The finale: six hours at a folding table with everything on the line. Every technique Jamal uses is real and fully taught in the back-of-book appendix: thrift flipping with the 3x rule, retail arbitrage with the 50 percent rule, and pricing psychology including charm pricing, anchoring, and bundle deals. Part thriller, part playbook. Read the race, then run your own.
