Collecting Loose Change

Loose change is exactly what it is. The first thing we do when we get home is empty out our pockets of all those loose coins. Over time, those coins end up in different parts of the house, inside dressers, on top of your desk so forth and so forth. Sometimes they get forgotten for years. If you were to collect all that loose change over the course of the year...you could literally have hundreds of dollars.

A good way to contain all your coins is through a sizable see-through container such as large glass vase. Recommend see-through because you can watch it accumulate and grow and it reminds you that it is there. The more you witness it grow, the more it reinforces the urgency to use the container instead of those nook and crannies inside the house. Believe it or not, soon enough you will establish a daily ritual of emptying those coins inside that glass vase.

Do you know how much 'Dead Money' (money that just sits around and doesn't collect interest or is being invested) that sits around collectively in the United States? If you understand human nature...then you know it is a lot.
