So Alex and I were rolling pennies this morning and I was starting to realize I keep too much. Not only change, which sits on tables, in jars, and in the case of what we were rolling, a four litre juice container (it was heavy), but all the ‘stuff’ I’ve accumulated over the years.
I’m also trying to sell my mother’s condo, which is full of ‘stuff.’ Three bedrooms worth and not really enough room to sort it, so there are boxes on their way, courtesy of my dear friend John and his pick up truck, that will go into my basement to be emptied and sorted. Then I’ll have a garage sale to get rid of said stuff…
…which will probably land me a bunch more change to roll. Does it ever end?
Prompt: Change

My Garden Gnome empties his wallet of change every evening and it accumulates. Every so often, we count and bag it and take it to the bank. He has saved a lot of money that way and actually saved for a large chunk of the deposit for our first home in this way.

I am a huge accumulator. My only defense is it is all hyper-organized. 🙂

I don’t think it ever ends, no. And I’m big on pitching things out. I’m pretty good at finding new, more useful homes for items 🙂

Thank you. You’re not in danger of hoarding until you reach the place where dead animals are hidden in the shed of collected dishware…or some similar scenario.
