An early sign of aging?

[DeeBye]

Please tell me I'm not the only person who still "gets rid of" nickels and pennies to save a quarter. :blink:

My wife does this, and it makes me angry. She'll root around in her purse forever trying to find whatever pennies, nickels, and dimes might be laying around in there so that she gets less change back. The cashier can never figure it out and it always holds up the checkout line.

Me? I usually pay by debit card or credit card. Otherwise I'll just slap down bills. If I get change back, it goes into a big jar I have on top of my fridge. I clean it out and roll the change every year or so and buy a case of beer or bottle of scotch for myself.

I am getting old because I am really starting to obsess about my lawn in the summer and how clear my driveway is of snow in the winter.
