Cracked $1,000 in my change jar and didn't even notice until my kid counted it
Been tossing my loose change in an old pickle jar since I moved into this apartment back in 2019, and I never really paid attention to how much was piling up in there. My daughter dumped it all out on the kitchen table Sunday and counted it on a whim, and it came to $1,047. The thing that got me is I can remember when a full jar felt like a big deal, like back in my early twenties when $40 in quarters meant gas money for a week. What's the weirdest place you've accidentally built up a pile of money without trying?
