So I am going through my change jar...

[dorktv]

I have $540 in bills, and $49.75 in quarters.

[jobycom]

1. Can I have it?

[dorktv]

2. why?

[jobycom]

3. Because I want it.

[dorktv]

6. not sure if that is a good reason or not...

[jobycom]

7. Please?

[dorktv]

9. *gives you the $0.25 she had left over making it $49 even.*

[JVS]

4. Why do you put so many bills in the change jar?

[dorktv]

5. convient place to stick them...

at least for me.

8. That's like winning the lottery!

I can't imagine having that much in "change". The ice cream truck is putting the squeeze on our change jar right now. Damn it! I have the same ice cream in the freezer, lousy kids!

[dorktv]

11. Freezer ice cream is not as much fun.

19. I know

I even offered to hum "The Entertainer" while I unwrapped our own popsicles. No dice.

10. Wow.

I usually cash in my change jar every few weeks. I buy gas with it. It only ever gets up to like 50 or 60 bucks though.

I guess if I want longer the sum would be larger but I rarely go a few weeks without cashing it in.

[dorktv]

13. wow...it takes me forever to get up that high.

[bigwillq]

14. How long did it take you

to get almost 50 bucks in quarters?

I buy cigarettes every day, other things at the store, breaks dollars to get food or drinks at work. It seems like I always have a lot of change at the end of the day.

[dorktv]

16. since i started tossing the bills into the can, a lot longer. Before I was always having change at

end of the day like you.

About seven months for this haul.

[bigwillq]

17. Yours is way more

than I ever have.

Right now, I have $1.28 in my pocket, and I haven't gone to the store for the second time today. I will after work. If I play it right, I will end up with about $2.00 in change. That's an average day for me.

So 2x7days =14
14x4 weeks=56

I guess my previous tally of 50-60 is for a month because I usually end up with that amount when I cash it in.

Last time was a little less...I had $35 in change, plus $6 in bottle money for a total of $41.

I bought a stick of deodorant for $4. Put $30 in the tank and bought a pack of smokes. And I still had a bit of change left over.

[dorktv]

18. so far I have $11.20 in dimes.

[DS1]

12. and here I was, thrilled to find a ten spot

:crazy:

[dorktv]

15. if it makes you feel better, I am taking forever with the dimes

20. Don't spend it all in one place.

Like the Gas station.
