That Loose Change

It's the stuff that you find...

# down the back of the couch

# that makes your purse bulge so much that you can't get it closed.

# the coin that is left over from that take-away meal.

# the coin in the pocket of your partner's pants that clinks when he walks

# the 5 cent pieces that you are forever collecting

# the little change you get after the weeks shopping at the supermarket...

You know, all those silver and gold left overs that we forget about or take for granted.

Start to put them in a jar and you will be amazed at how fast you can collect a few hundred dollars/pounds.

Get the kids to save the coin, offer it up for an exchange for a job well done. It then becomes their very own spending money when you do go off on that magic holiday.

You will be amazed at the fact that you really don't miss the coins!

Several years ago I was brave enough to start collecting the gold coins in my purse...took lots of bravery on my part but believe me, by the time 3 months had passed I had saved $250 and I didn't miss the coin.

I don't know about you but I have realized that I do waste a lot of those coins and they really can add up to a substantial amount.

To have an extra few hundred dollars to splurge on when you take the family away, really is a bonus and...

It doesn't hurt a bit!
