Taking care of the pennies...

So on my hiatus I engaged in a conversation with some friends regarding my debt journey and my blog. One thing someone mentioned (or mocked) was my $100 a month project. This person said that in my current situation I shouldn't be worried about finding hundreds, but I should be concerned with obtaing thousands. Well my response, of course but how easy is it to come up with a thousand dollars every month when I am struggling with $100. If I found a way to come up with that amount of money in a month, don't you think I would take it? I like to think that I am smart enough for that.

One comment I did pick up on, however, was a flip remark about how "you probably could find more than $100 from pocket change within one month?" I thought this was interesting. Do we actually encounter $100 or more in simple pocket change within one month ?

So for my December $100 plan, I will be accumulating all my pocket change until the 15th of December (30 days) and see what I can come up with. This may seem simplistic, but I feel the need to prove (or disprove) this theory. Have to admit, I am a little curious.

Good Luck with the pocket change. You know Dave Ramsey says that when your friends/family start to mock you-you know you are starting to do things right.
