This savings plan will save your back!

Believe it or not the amount of change in the picture weighs 2 pounds.  This was the change in my change purse!  Many times my purse feels like it is full of rocks and when I empty my change purse, it is significantly lighter.  Today I decided to weigh the change just out of curiosity and was astonished to see it weighed 2 POUNDS!  I kept the quarters ( you always need parking money) and put the rest in my big jug I keep spare change in.

Years ago, I had saved up half a Culligan bottle of change and when I rolled it up it came to $85 dollars.  My son hated that I paid for gas and groceries for a week in rolls of pennies, nickels and dimes.  Hey!  Money is money as far as I am concerned and a little change adds up!

Typically men don’t carry a lot of change because it affects the way their pants stay on.  However, I have seen many women carrying a suitcase size purse (what do they have in there?!?!?) and can only imagine how much it weighs!  Purse weight can really have an impact on your back, shoulder and neck, so check your change purse and walk a little lighter.
