Time for some "change"...

Yeah, whoever said that you let at least $100 worth of change slip through your fingers in a month was definitely lying. Some this experiment has failed miserably. I have been collecting my change for a month now and I have amassed a whopping $32.67.

First off I thought would not go too badly considering that I ransacked my old purses, the cup holder in the car, the laundry room, practically everywhere and I found a ton of change. Problem is, once you've cleaned out those areas, they are no longer a source of money.

Second problem is: debit cards. If you are using your debit card, you don't have change. Technology is a killer.

Third problem: when you are cutting back on your spending, you don't spend as much, which means you don't come across as much change.

Luckily for the person who "challenged" me, I have received some money for Christmas which will cover off the difference in the $100 challenge for the month. But to that person I must say "HA HA" I was right.

I like being right.
