xjustinxschwierx Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 My change jar is that Guinness pint-glass looking bank. It's not nearly big enough.. I have pennies in a growler that I don't know what I'll do with when it fills, and silver change in the Guinness bank that fills all the time. I just throw it at my credit car.. I should put it into my savings instead but I make bad financial decisions. no this is a better idea, what's the point of putting it in the bank to make...what like 2% annual interest when you're paying proably 15-20% or more on your credit card?

No, I don't let my credit card roll over ever.. I've never been charged for a balance on it. I guess it's really like I put it in my checking account. Instead, I wish I always put it in my savings because it's like having money I never had anyway.I like to fake myself out into thinking I have less money available than I do because I become more frugal when I'm convinced I'm dirt poor. I try to forget about money in my savings account. (Which is easy when it sat at $6 for over a year. I'm up to $700 right now tho!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcm1610 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I have a ticket where I won $1 sitting on my dresser. I keep forgetting about it, and probably won't redeem it anytime soon because it's barely worth it. NYS seems its best scratch off is a $30 "win for life" scratch off that is 1 in 2.95 or so odds.

smailtronic Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I only get these in stockings. THANKS FOR THE PIECES OF CARDBOARD MOM! Yup, I get them in birthday cards too. I think I've won $8 over the last 5 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best are the $10 and $20 win for life. I always win on those. Probably every other one i buy i win at least $50 or $100. casinos where its at. I need to start going back there.
