I LOVE, LOVE finding money on the ground!! But not change. I like to find the good, ol’e green stuff. You’re going to think I made this up but I swear that this is true. A few mornings ago, while ridding my bike to work (yes I ride a bike to work; I live a few blocks away and it saves gas money; and my husband takes our one and only car). I aw a man on his knees on the ground on the other side of the street. At first I thought he had fallen and couldn’t get up. I noticed his white cane after getting closer. I asked him if he needed help and he didn’t respond. Anyways it turns out he was actually blind and deaf (thank goodness I stopped). And a tree branch had knocked his hearing aid out of his ear and he was looking for it. We found his hearing aid, he gave me a nice thanks and I went on my way. Later that day, in another part of town, lo and behold, I found a 10 dollar bill lying on the ground with no-one in sight! It was on a street next to an empty building. What comes around goes around :)

I can’t believe I’m going to admit to this as a personal finance blogger, but I rarely pick up change. If it’s a quarter or larger, I usually will, but pennies, nickles and dimes – nope! I love earning money, though.

In reply to Aimee.

Hahahhaah… Awesome! I was wondering if people still turned in bottles too as I had this genius/moronic idea that I could just go to all the houses around me and ask to pick up their recycling for them instead of the recycle people, haha… I have no idea what they do with it really, but I’d imagine they’re making money off it too and in BULK. Maybe that’s how the whole system works though? It cost the city to pick them up, but they make up for the money by turning them in for cash?? I need to look into that more.. I’m still pretty intrigued by it :)

In reply to Jacob | iHeartBudgets. Earning money is definitely more *rewarding*, that's for sure. Especially if it came from a single idea in your head and played out nicely in the real world for you :) Finding it is just pure sexiness. (And you've got an open door anytime, my man! For friends I cut the rate in half so you'll only need to find half the real cash later ;))
