Weekly Roundup – Loose Change Edition

settled into our home – well, at least we’ve moved! It will be a while before we unpack the last box, especially since I went back to work today and left a house full of boxed up stuff for the family.

With my coin jar already packed, and time running out to move, I felt like tossing the change in the trash bag and moving on. But that would have really hurt me! After all, the $1.30 I collected under sofa cushions represented about a year’s worth of interest on a $100!
Can you believe some people actually throw money away? Don’t believe it? Check out the fifth article below.
