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.

I once found a $20 bill in a pair of jeans I bought from a Salvation Army store for about $2.00. It was nice.

I often see .22 lr cartridges on the ground where I go shooting. F%*& if I'm going to put those through a barrel of mine, though, after they've collected dirt and dust. Paper money's different.

I've also found small purses (some with scrap jewelry), and wallets. Most of the wallets without any money. I did find one once that had a Canadian passport, and some insignificant cash (less than 50 buck, I think). I placed the wallet and passport in a US Mail box, and kept the spare change as a "thank you" from the owner. That find took place during what I call my bohemian (ahem, bum) years.

I hear legitimate passports can go for thousands. All you need to do is replace the picture. You're an honest person. Can't say the same for myself. But shit...It's not like I'm Scarface or something. I wouldn't know where to sell the thing anyway.

Hmm...name the street or general area and it's yours. I think I'm gonna buy a scratch-off lotto card with it.
Okay so if you win does that mean we split :lol: :lol:

Hey! The lotto thing was MY idea! 20% of any winnings should just about cover my consulting fee. You can just PM me for shipping info. Thx. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
