Change

I used to collect pocket change on my dresser until it was an unbearable mess, then dump it in some bag, then leave the bag somewhere until it was really full, then take the change to the bank to get ripped off by them when they charged me 3% for me using their machine to count it.

Now, I am smarter. I have a big plastic jar that has a lid on it that counts the change as I put it in. When the jar is full, then I’ll take it to the bank to get ripped off by them when they charge me 3% for me using their machine to count it. (What can I say? I haven’t switched banks. And I’m pretty sure no bank would do this for free if I weren’t a customer of theirs.)

Anyway, I just broke the $100 mark. I’m rich!

Too bad I spent more than this over the weekend.

    Ha! At least now when you get ripped off you can tell them what it’s going to cost you. Power to the people!

    I think you should start saving Bees that way too. Eventually you’ll have a whole hive.

    I want one of those jars. That’s cool.

    That jar is cool! Maybe Lloyd could find you a coin rolling machine at his next auction.

    (hehe Lauren…you funny!)
