A New Year Project

kybearfuzzI've been thinking about doing this for the last few months, but wanted to wait until the first of the year to give it a go. I was just reminded of this little project in the Chipotle parking lot at lunch.
How much money can a person find in a year? A penny here, a dime there, the occasional quarter found in parking lots, on the carpet at work, or in the grocery aisle. I've decided to keep track of the money for one year to see how much I accumulate. What I'll do with the money is up in the air, but I'll try to do something creative or charitable with it.
The rule is that it must be found money, money lost or discarded by someone else. So the change in my washing machine or dryer, the coins between the sofa cushions, the money in my car's floor -- none of them count because that's already my money.
Today at lunch I found a nickel in the parking lot, so I'm off to a favorable start.
Current total -- $0.05.

Good luck. Can't wait to see how much you accumulate!
