A mum ditched her "demanding" £43k teaching job to become a vintage reseller - and now earns more a month selling old clothing on Vinted and eBay.<br /><br />Jess Morton, 27, has been a primary school teacher for the last six years but started to find the job "unmanageable" and felt she couldn't be her "full self" with her family because she was so exhausted. <br /><br />The mum-of-three fell in love with reselling when she listed her old size 24 clothes on Vinted after losing eight stone.<br /><br />Now she has made £30k in just 10 months - an average of £3,000 a month - and says she is now matching her teacher salary per month and has money leftover to put back into her business.<br /><br />She began by selling unwanted clothes given to her by friends and family, before buying and reselling vintage from the charity shop.<br /><br />It was a side hustle until she began making £1,500 a month from it, which is when she realised it could be financially viable as a full time and she quit her teaching job in May.<br />Video: SWNS
