HA! I say
Two years 465,000 in loose change. How much do you think you could save in 2 by pocketing your PENNIES and loose change. I'm driving my husband to work this morning and what comes on the radio's morning news? You betcha, the reason for this post $465,000 reasons to start tracking your loose change.
Here's my question keeping true to this blog, how many of those people forgot their change? How many thought their pocket lint wasn't worth the time to grab and stuff back into their pockets?
It's valuable people! Don't worry I'll pick it and keep it.
Check out the story here!!
What do you think TSA should do with the money???

Welcome
I have wanted to start this blog for about 10 years. Each time I think about it or share my ideas with someone, I can't help but laugh out loud. I think it's interesting how the penny is disregarded as worthless. So I decided to start this blog about the journey of the penny. Over the next year every penny I see or I'm giving I will tuck it away in my penny bank. I will tell interesting stories of my penny's journey to my bank and at the end of the year I will tally up the fruits of my labor.
It sounds easy, but ask yourself how many times have you disregarded a penny's worth? How easy is it for you to not take your penny change, or simply leave it on the counter? How many pennies have you stepped over on the ground? How many pennies have you made a wish on threw over your shoulder, or have given to a kid to play with?
I think it's harder to save a penny, to hold onto it, or to wait for your one cent in change that the cashier feels, surely you don't want. Call it pride embarrassment or whatever that makes us say "I don't want the penny." Or, "keep the penny."
Yesterday I went to my local Starbucks, I'm a registered card holder and by email received a coupon for 50% off any drink. On my Starbucks card there was a balance of $3.07 after my coupon my total was $3.08. As I said earlier every time I tell the story of my desire to create the penny blog I laugh so does the person I'm talking to. This day it was my husband, we laughed. I told my husband about my barrister
"I guarantee you he won't ask for the penny I owe him." My husband laughs as we relate this to the penny blog. While he encourages me to start the blog. The barrister takes my card and disappear from the window(we were in the drive thru).
He returns with my card and says, "it says you owe a penny, but I won't ask for it. Never mind you're fine."
My husband and I look at him and laugh out loud and say Thank you. I turn to my husband and say another penny earned.
These are the types of stories you'll read hear on my penny blog. Watch my penny-o-meter to the right of the blog and watch me get rich off all the pennies I keep.
Tell me your penny story, share this blog it will be funny if nothing else.
