When Steve and I first started dating we decided to start a little challenge between us (I guess we are both competitive at heart). We decided to see who could find the most 'found money' over the next year...2007. My friend, Susan (Thank you Susan! Woo Hoo!) turned me on to 'finding money' since her and her hubbie have been doing it for many years. It is actually pretty interesting seeing just how much money you find laying around in parking lots, on restaraunt floors or outside fast food drive thru windows. It really can add up quickly if you keep track of it.
Our found money thus far adds up to a nice little total...maybe if we keep it up we will be able to retire earlier than expected. ;)
2007 - $48.11
2008 - $44.66
2009 - so far $2.81
Obviously we will need to step it up a bit more this year as we seem to be slacking.
P.S. Steve won the competition in 2007 by finding $4.11 more than me...his money was all change while I found $9 in paper moolah plus my change...2008 was a joint effort.

Good idea! We should probably do it too, it adds up! Our grandma used to do the same thing, I'm sure Steve can tell you about it.
