Remember when. I love to say that because I remember when, you could purchase a piece of bubble gum, or an apple jolly rancher, a banana beich (with jokes printed inside the wrapper), or the little striped candy with the peanut butter for only a penny a piece.
A penny for your thoughts! What a small price to pay for something so valuable-imagine only one penny for your thoughts? There are so many of these adages in our history and we find ourselves repeating them, and believing them. For instance, don't pick up a penny if it's not "heads up," it will bring bad luck. How can finding money be bad luck when every penny counts? But yet, we follow the adage for fear that it might just be true. I'm guilty. The fear of bad luck can actually out-weigh common sense especially when myths and old wives tales were commonplace in your upbringing. And no matter how hard you try to ignore them, somehow they become engraved in your memory usually accompanied by a rhyme.
Pennies are so often stepped over, dropped and never picked up because it's just a penny or melted into the asphalt from being driven over time and time again. This is one item that the initial value is insignificant but over time came bring great rewards. Just think if you had picked up every penny you've stepped over, dropped and ignored, or refused to pick up because it wasn't heads up, you would have increased assets right now because of pennies.
