Wha...? How? $20-40 per month? You need to question her and share the advice here!
Just look down every where you walk. You'll be surprised the stuff you can find. One time I found 2 fully functional cell phones in less than 6 months.
I always spot change, lotsa pennies, then dimes, not so many quarters, or nickels.
The most I've found is a 20 dollar bill. Once I found a dollar, bought a scratch lotto ticket and got 40 bucks out of it.
Of course, as a pre-teen and early teen, the real "jack" pot was to find nudie magazines or their loose pages or torn pictures, it didn't matter. Oh, sweet Youth. Where hast thou gone?
Now that I'm older, I dream of a day when I find a Colt Officers in .45 ACP by the side of the rooad, or in a ditch.
