A Penny Saved
I’ve been noticing pennies in the street. I’ve been watching one in particular for almost a week. It got me thinking because my father took his counting change jar to the bank and had $103 dollars unexpectedly saved.
The Penny Lady
It also made me think of a woman who attended my money management class. She made a game out of collecting pennies with her children. They collected them from everywhere and everyone. Once a month they took their haul to the bank. They took a small amount as a reward and divided the rest into the children’s saving account. They averaged over a $100 a month. You can accomplish more than you think , a little at a time, if you are focused and keep going.
What if pennies were calories? We don’t think much of small amounts of change or calories. Did you know it only takes burning an extra 10 calories a day for a year to lose 1 pound? Make a game out of it. Reward yourself. Have fun.
All change adds up. What healthy choice will you make today? Let me know.
