I found more money today. I located a dime at the exit door at CVS. Then leaving CVS on the sidewalk there was a penny!

So 21 cents now that I've found in 2 days!!

I love that you pick up change... we often see people treat resources so disrespectfully, and it makes me sad because even a small amount can lead to a difference somehow. Saving it offers some insurance that you are making positive progress, too, however tiny at the time.
