Change Is Good: Part 2

I destroyed my wagon on January 4th.

Mom gave me her Volkswagen Bug the very next day, maybe the SAME day, until I was able to get into another vehicle, on March 20th. Mom stepped up to the plate and saved my world.

There were 76 Days of transition. I left the star on pink ribbon hanging femininely from the rearview mirror, and listened to her Bonnie Raitt tapes, as penance.

Before we turned the Bug in for trade, I removed all my possessions, which included my spare change.

I've already reflected on spare change, you can find PART 1 somewhere in April of 2011...

I realized this morning that I had a bag of spare change, and an exact range.

Which is to say: I had a full blown Experiment on my hands, desparetely waiting to be calculated.

76 Days yielded:

$1.26 = pennies
$1.90 = nickles
$4.00 = dimes
$3.75 = quarters

$10.91 = total

Divided by 76 days =

14 or 15 cents per day

This experiment tells me that I generate 14 or 15 cents of "spare change" every day. Which is to say, if I can hang onto it, I should have an extra $50 or $55 bucks every year.
