Can you spare some change brother?

Guten Abend! I have attached this link for an article I found about some money saving ideas.

I was thinking about something my son once told me; if a person stopped to pick up every penny them came across in the street or sidewalk, they would have collected over $180 in their lifetime. Folks that is $180 that you don't have right now! I don't care if the penny is heads up or heads down, it's still a penny. Those do add up.

We have a frugal coffee can that holds the spare change we find in our pockets, purses or drawers, about once a year we will take the can to a change counter and cash them in. Last time it was over $90. Talk about an evening out then on your spare change alone.

Some folks I know subscribe to the envelope method for their budget. Great idea, spend only what you got, not what your gonna get. Take the change from that each week and move it into another envelope. Over the next few weeks, you will have found yourself some decent entertainment money.

Enjoy the article, it is from 2005, but still pertinent today. Follow along if you wish as well. Thank you for your time and suggestions. http://money.cnn.com/2005/01/10/pf/saving/frugal_living/index.htm
