How much money have you walked by in the last twenty years?<\/h2>\n

To answer that question, Brian Hershburg took on an unusual experiment:  he spent 20 years saving each coin he found on the street.<\/p>\n

The result?<\/p>\n

$971.65<\/strong> in coins and paper currency amassed in peripheral batches. (full article here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Considering his method of passively saving, one might be convinced of the profitability of setting money aside, even just a very, very little at a time. <\/em><\/h3>\n

To further emphasize this, in 2014, TSA reported a forgotten coin count of $675,000, and in 2016, Coventa Holding Corp estimated that Americans accidentally dispose of $62 million in change.<\/p>\n

These stories relate ONE striking takeaway:  accumulation can be powerful.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t feel like scouting the avenues for spare change, there are other clever way to save poco a poco. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Automate your savings.<\/li>\n
  2. Find an independent insurance agency. They do not have loyalty to a single company and can find you the best insurance options for you. Find out why you want an independent insurance agency, like us (hey oh!),<\/em> in this article<\/a><\/strong> by Dave Ramsey’s team.<\/li>\n
  3. Plan your meals BEFORE going to the grocery store. (Putting this one into effect in my own life to avoid overestimating my need for Oreos and onions)<\/li>\n
  4. Pack your lunch — buying a $7.50 lunch just twice a week costs you an unnecessary $800<\/strong> a year.<\/li>\n
  5. Take full advantage of your company\u2019s 401k match program. It is free money<\/strong>, folks!<\/li>\n
  6. Start investing in a ROTH IRA today for tax-free retirement<\/li>\n
  7. Opt for the matinee instead of the Friday night movie.<\/li>\n
  8. Pay for everything in cash. Save the change and fill a jar with all the coins you get back.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
