Rolled Coins

January 19th, 2020 at 12:59 pm

Rolled my coins and I had a total of $29 dollars, not bad.

I can never understand why people take their coins to a coin machine to count and pay a fee. It took me just a little time to do so. Even before I was living a frugal life style, I never did this. To each it’s own.

The $29, went towards the remaining credit card debt. 😀

Friday is payday and I’ll be adding an extra $157 dollars to the credit card. I think by doing that, I’d pay an extra $800 this month towards it. I can’t wait until Friday so that I can take care of it, and calculate my MTM total.

My top priorities for the first quarter of the year, boosting my EF, paying down/off the CC and paying extra on my mortgage. The extra on the mortgage is a must for me, I feel disappointed/depressed for some odd reason when I don’t.

Once the CC is gone, I can go full throttle on the student loans, averaging about $600-$800 extra a month on it. I can’t wait.

    Coinstar machines charge no fee if you get a gift card instead of cash. I always get Amazon credit when I cash in our coins. Plus I can do it at the grocery store when I go food shopping so no special trip to the bank.

    I use coin star and pay the fees because I hate handling cash and coins. I have very sensitive skin and I always seem to pick up rashes and germs from coins! I guess I could roll coins if I wore gloves...

    I use my pocket change and bills leftover when I go to the grocery store every week. Sometimes, it' just a dollar or two, but I have had about $20 or so because I wound up not buying something that I thought I was going to buy. Then, I make either a payment to the cc or a deposit to savings. Either way I go is an improvement to my bottom line.

    My credit union has a coin machine that I use for free. I like your top financial priorities Amber.

    Good job on tackling that credit card debt. I'm sure once you have it gone, you'll do an equally good job on the student loans.

    We are fortunate our credit union has a change machine that we can use and since we normally put it in one of our special accounts (Christmas, vacation, home improvement), we don't feel like it is making a special trip. Glad you could roll your change and apply it to your debt. I'm with you, I don't understand paying a machine if you don't have to.
