Step - 9 Update #2

Hi Everyone,

I am in the second week of the new job and everything is going well so far.  I have found 39 cents since the last update.  This came in the form of 3 dimes and 9 pennies.  38 cents was found on the ground at Quick Check, Home Depot, Ice skating rink, super market and today in the parking lot near work.  The remaining penny was given to me as extra change in the cafeteria at work.  Change due was fourteen cents, cashier gave a dime and a nickle to make it easier.

To summarize:

Current Step: 9

Total Stake: $2.06 Total Surplus: $.22

Amount required to complete step $.50

Until Next Time...

Step - 9 Update: My Biggest Find So Far

Hi Everyone,

It is a beautiful, sunny, warm day here in NJ and things are starting to come together for me.  I received a message earlier that I have gotten the second job I applied to, so that means more money coming in.  This is much needed as I had to dip into my savings while I was out of work in order to pay the bills.

I also found my biggest doubling find so far while I was out at lunch.  I found 36 cents near a bench outside the mall near to where I am working.  I have added it to my stake.

I am starting to get excited as pretty soon there will be enough stake money available to purhase something to re-sell.  Which means I will not have to rely soley on finding change on the ground.

To summarize:

Current Step: 9

Total Stake: $1.67 Total Surplus: $.22

Amount required to complete step $.89

Anyway, I hope all of your doubling efforts are going well!!

Until Next Time...

Step - 8 Completed

Hi Everyone,

I know it has been a while.  As I had previously mentioned I was focusing all my time on searching for a job.  Well the effort has paid off.  I found a job and since finding it I have interviewed for another job (more money) and I am expecting to get the second job soon.

Although I did not have time to post about it, I was still keeping my head down as I was out and about.  I managed to find 12 cents during this time.  Most was found at, you guessed it, the local Quick Check, I also found some at the supermarket, the mall by my new job, and the ice skating rink where my daughter skates.  I found these 1 penny at a time.  This brings me through Step 8 and into Step 9 with a total stake of $1.31.

To summarize:

Current Step: 9

Total Stake: $1.31 Total Surplus: $.22

Amount required to complete step $1.25

Until Next Time...
