Today it was $1.63 in change that I put intoo my "Change can Change" jar! Yes the name is hokey but I have to do something to not make paying down my debt all drudgery!


At the end of each day I am taking whatever change I have in my wallet, pockets, etc. and putting it into a skinny jar. I am thinking that at the end of the year I will have at least $365! Not a mortgage payment but it would be a student loan payment or a some new clothes or help with Christmas shopping.


Anyone want to join me in the Change can Change 2010 challenge?

You won't hear me arguing with donating to charitable causes. I think what happened in Haiti is just terrible and if a $10 donation from me - or a $7.00 donation from your son - means we are that little bit behind on snowflaking I am OK with that.

I love hearing everyone's creative ideas for all of their change! My favorite - of course is the 2 week vacation to the Domincan!

More pennies please....

I am laughing so hard to myself because just today we had to empty our change jar to cover an automatic deduction that came through. it would have been covered but my husbands unemployment check was not deposited due to an error. it was a major scramble. sometimes I hate the auto deductions just for this reason you can't just stop it on a whim you have to know a little ahead of time . thank goodness for all those pennies! how ridiculous is this situation though, now I am officially 100% broke and deep in debt. I think I am beyond the sadness now . I honestly didn't even get upset I was just like whatever , can't control it, it's almost comical now. I am thinking of changing my screen name to "my so-called life" I did have some change in the car so I put that measley amount back in the change jar , I will just start again, It looks really pitiful right now. What a joke. Congrats on your small victory 1.63 is something to be proud of compared to what I am looking at :)
