Cokkect Your Change

Collect Your Change Everyone's living quarters are different, of course, but there's a certain (rather obvious at first) list that everyone should go through first. Your bed stand. Don't most of us have a little spot where we put money, after we toss off our clothes at the end of the day? But, sure, there's probably nothing there, because you've already raided this. Hone in on your home office. Have one? It seems like another natural place where you might have stuffed a few bills or coins aside at one point. Survey your sofa. Underneath those cushions, where pocket change slides out and drops into the crevasses of your couch, is often, quite literally, a gold mine. And possibly half of a melted Hershey's bar. You really do need to get down here more often. Linger in your laundry room. Another favorite place of wayward dollars and cents. Chances are you, a spouse or some other significant other, has taken some money from the pockets and put some money aside. Or maybe a quarter or wadded up dollar is in the machine right now, like a mob of people at an American Idol audition waiting to be discovered. Check the car. Most of us have a little spot in the car where rogue coins wind up, when we don't have time to put them in a pocket or purse. They sometimes wind up under the car seats. You probably have something here. The junk drawer. Everyone has one. I guarantee you have a few coins in here, unless you raided this recently. And again, perfect time to clean this out. The kitchen. Chances are, your junk drawer is in here, or your jar of coins, which you've already thought of or taken from, but what about looking underneath or behind the refrigerator? Can anything fit under the oven? You can clean these behind or underneath these appliances and possibly find some money at the same time. And while you're here, what are you using this spare money for? Groceries? Then, of course, rifle through the coupons. That's money right there, or a way to make the money you do find go farther. Your bedroom closet and laundry hamper. Go through the pockets of the clothes, clean and dirty. Some money has to be in there somewhere.
