May and June Totals, also The Halfway Point!

This summer has presented its challenges to me regarding the blog. For starters, I am not in school. My university campus was one of the main places that I found change. Also, I now have a job. So for about 5 to 8 hours of the day there is almost zero chance of me finding anything. But regardless of my lack of posting, I am very much still documenting and picking up every single coin I can find.

Thankfully I kept a not of the total at the end of may so I know exactly how much I had found. During the month of May I found 13 dollars and 3 cents. This high number is of course due to the fact that  found 10 dollars on the floor of a restaurant one evening. To date, that has been my biggest find.

The month of June was not at eventful. I of course continued to find change during my daily life, but no find as big as the one in May. My biggest find was while I was trying on a pair of jeans in my local Goodwill store and I found 3 crumpled dollars in one of the pockets. The total for the month of June was 4 dollars and 86 cents.

The grand total for the year up to date is 33 dollars even. It was very strange to me that exactly at the halfway point in the year I would have an even number. I had to count everything a few times to make sure I had not make a mistake. Its going to require a lot of luck if I am to find 100 dollars by the end of the year. I am halfway through the year but only a third of the way there. I am gonna have to find a 20 at some point.

I still am not sure what I want to do with the money. In all honesty, it is not likely to be a huge amount of money to do much with.
