Change.....?

Since Cory and I have been married we have always put our change in an old Mount Olympus water jug. In the past we have dipped into it not letting it get even a little full but that changed last year. Cory has always kept his change in the car, on the dresser, in a jar, but never in his pocket. He did not have a problem keeping his change. Me on the other hand always LOVED to pay with exact change. (Probably the obsessive virgo in me.) That changed last year when Michael took Financial Lit. Mrs. Hall told the students to never pay with change and instead keep that change. It is the easiest way to save $$. I took her challenge and for the last year have also been emptying my change into our water jug. We came up with an idea after the jug started getting pretty heavy to have a contest. We all guess how much $$ is in the jug, pick a vacation, and then count to see who is the closest to the actual amount. Any guesses? We had a total of $437.14. Cory guessed the closest $480.00 and his vacation of choice is: YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK Here are the other guesses: Christian $300.60 - Rent a house and play on the beach in Southern Cali. Jessica $534.00 - Stay at the Ramada in San Diego, play 2-3 days in DisneyLand and the rest at the beach. Michael $620.00 - Go to San Simeon and go kayaking and camp in the campground. Mom $535.20 - Go to Cali, rent a house and canoes, and play at Knott's Berry Farm. It was a fun experience for us all. Who knows, we might have come up with a new Condie family tradition!
