What does that look like to you?? Don't worry, I don't think you are stupid, we all know it's a bunch of coins...BUT, would you believe me if I told you I collected this and a BUNCH more from all over my house?? Well I did. It is kind of embarrassing, and I feel like it is almost sinful. I had money ALL OVER MY HOUSE. Every room, almost every drawer, everywhere!!! I didn't really start the day thinking this would be my blog post (I actually had another one in mind) but I had to find something in one of my 50 junk drawers and I started to go through it. Low and behold I found a whole mini mason jar full of coins. So, I thought to myself "hmmm, I wonder how much more money I have hiding in my mess of a house". So I began my quest. It took me about an hour to go through my well organized house (HA!) and collect all the loose change. You will honestly NEVER believe how much I collected. Are you curious??
I gathered all my coins and headed to the BANK....NOT the "coinstar" in the grocery store. Please people, never go there...they take a percetage of your money! Just go to your local bank and hand over the coins!!
After patiently waiting (because you all know how patient I am) Sue the teller presented me with my CASH.......$65.95!!!! I feel almost ashamed to admit that. For someone so concerned with budgeting money, I had all that just sitting in random hideouts all over my house! WOW! So, although I didn't technically "make" money, I did "find" it...so I figure that counts!!
TOTAL in the "jar" : $172.95
Moral of the story, you may not even realize that you have money right under your nose! Take a peek in those junk drawers!!
