Street Money Update!
It’s all me.
One cent.
Found it while I was spending $15. It will, eventually, all break even….
Look here for the Total, 2009.
Street Money Update!
Mason has the money eye! Ten Cents!
Found a small, beat-up dime on the street while riding his bike!
Pretty good, but let’s keep those eyes facing up and out!
Street Money Update!
Find a penny. Find a dime. That’s how my daughter does it.

Not bad for Tuesday.

Street Money Update! Euro Version!
We have a new exciting feature to add to our Street Money Update! Euro Vision!
The kids and I are just buying crap at the CVS today and there they were: Penny, penny, penny, penny, penny, and penny!
Upon closer exam, one of these so-called “pennies” was actually a 2¢ Euro! Surprise, surprise. Really. We don’t have the kind of CVS that lends itself to Euro’s just getting dropped all over the ground. Canadian money maybe but not the fancy European kind…we ain’t that cosmopolitan.
Anyhoo, it’s June 1 and I can’t really count it in the regular tally, so I just added the Euro category. Right next to the American.
I’m actually really surprised we haven’t found one Canadian coin all year…we usually do by now.
Come on Canada! Step it up! Get down here and drop some coins in my neighborhood! We’re counting on you!
Let’s see how International we can get by the end of the year! A challenge!
Come on World! Get over to Illinois! We need your loose change!
Street Money Update! American Style
Four cents! Four not-shiny pennies.
I think we found three of them shopping, in various store parking lots. Let’s say, Kohl’s, PetLand and Caribou Coffee.
Then we found one at Fuddrucker’s. (Oh the horrible memories…Nachos…cheese…deliciousness…home…heartburn…cramping….non-digesting…near vomiting…never again…) There’s one more thing added to my list of things to NEVER eat again.
Anyway, back to the point. Four cents! Add it up. Brings us to….
Street Money Update!
It’s a big ten kind of day…
Ten cents, that is.
One shiny ass dime, glittering in the bright sun, laying on the ground, early this morning.
How does money end up in the street? I don’t know, but my kids say these are the best kinds of days to find it. They just keep their eyes on the road and look for the sparkle. It’s like payday!
Check here for the yearly total.
It’s an exciting day—we broke another “dollar” barrier–we are over Eleven Bucks!! I can almost feel the sunshine from my summer home in the Hamptons. Ha.
Street Money Update!
One penny.
In a parking lot.
These updates are so easy to do when the money is small.
Street Money Update!
It pays to exercise! About 5¢ every few months. It’s good for other stuff too…like your heart, your brain, your BIG butt…
Found a wore out nickel on the side of the running trail yesterday afternoon exercising with the BF.
(We later spent it on White Castles, but let’s just keep that our little secret)
Check here for the yearly total.
And check back later, when I post a pep-talk article from the Glamour Magazine about this very subject.
I have to do some personal hygiene stuff right now while the BF is out playing raquetball. We have another kid-less night to look forward to and I wanna be ready. Winky dink.
Street Money Update!
Boy, we are just squeaking up there penny by penny.
My son found another one while cutting grass with his daddy. Cutting and spotting!
Here’s the total RIGHT HERE for 2009.
Street Money Update!
A little late but I kept forgetting because I wasn’t holding the money in my hand for three days.
This exciting event actually happened on Saturday—at the Zoo—courtesy of my childs.
Six Cents. 6. ¢.
Wasn’t that worth the wait?
