For the past week and a half I’ve been living on the meekest of funds, while sitting there in my nightstand were two containers filled with silver and copper salvation. I did what I could to stay away from the rainy day change jar funds, but today I broke down and cashed in all the chips. The grand total shocked me beyond belief. Here I was thinking I only had about $100 or so at most, but the Commerce Bank change counter came up with $275.
Part of me is happy I was able to save so much, but that was over quite a few months. I’m not going to squander these newfound riches — this will more than get me by until my next paycheck gets to my mailbox, after which time a large chunk of this money and that paycheck are going to replenish my laughable savings account balance sheet for the next lean time.
