...then all day you'll have good luck. Or more money than you left the house with...
Roadchange, roadkill...call it what you will. See it, pick it up. Sounds kind of obvious really but you'd be surprised how much money it's possible to find and how it adds up over the weeks and months.
I've always been quite good at spotting money laying on the pavement or in shops and have never been shy about picking it up. I have, at times, been given looks from passers by that I can infer from that they think it's 'beneath' them to bend down and pick up money from the floor. Perhanps they aresome of the careless people dropping their change and not going back for it. Maybe they would change their minds if they tried it, saved it up and found out how much it can add up to over the course of a year.
As I said, I've been pocketing this free cash for years but a couple of years ago I thought instead of just throwing it in my purse and it being absorbed into my everyday spends I would keep it seperate, save it and see how much it amounted to over the course of a year.
The first year of trying it came to the princely sum of just over £50. Last year I did better with a shade over £60. Doesn't sound like a lot? Both years it has paid for Christmas dinner (with all the trimmings), crackers, mints, booze with plenty of change left over at a cost to me of naff all. Thank you people of Nottingham...it was delicious!
