Ok, granted it's not a lot, but I'm on a 31 day streak. My DH and I usually find money here and there when we're out running or riding. We decided to keep that money in a jar and count the number of days that we've consecutively found money while out and about exercising (riding or running). So far we're up to 31 days and almost $5.00. I once found a $20 bill in the gutter while running, but that doesn't count. Now it's become a bit of a quest. Yesterday neither of us had found anything, so we went for a purposeful ride to the grocery store (with a drive thru at the car wash because there's a good chance you'll find a penny there) and came home with $.17 (and some much needed groceries- nevermind that they cost much more than the $.17 we found ).
Ok, so maybe we're a little weird (well- we're definitely weird). I'm not some hobo or scrounger, I just look down when I'm stopped at an intersection or light and always find something lying there. I just thought it'd be fun to see how much random money I find when I'm out cycling or running. There's a lot of money just laying around that needs a home! Most of it's really beaten up, and I don't know how the bank machine will read it, but when we cash it in, it'll go to one of our favorite local charities along with some money that we actually earned from working.
Does anyone else pick up money they see lying on the street when out running/riding?
