Hit $1,000 in my cash jar last Friday and I honestly felt weird about it
I keep an old mason jar on my dresser for extra cash, tips and whatever I don't spend from my weekly envelope. Last Friday I counted it out on the kitchen table in Erie and it came to $1,012. I knew it was getting heavy but I figured maybe $500. That is 6 months of just tossing in loose bills and fives when I had them. My debit card has been frozen since April after a skimmer thing, so cash only is not a choice for me right now. Seeing a thousand bucks in a jar made me realize how much I hand over without thinking when I just tap a card. Do you keep a cash jar and do you count it or just let it pile up?
