Time to bury the money!! New Year's Eve tradition
Comments (29)Raven, just now seeing this, and I have never heard of this before...but I might do it next year....if I don't forget. I wanted to tell you what one of my friends does every year. He picks up any found money...like coins he finds on the parking lot, or whatever. He goes to the Texas City dike to fish a lot and often finds money there too. Just wherever he finds it. He puts it in a coffee can. At the end of the year, he puts it in a closet....writes the year on the cap of the can. He never spends it. I asked him if he counted it, and he said no. I have known him for 40 years and he has always done this. No telling how much money he has squirreled away like that. He is one of my best friends. I call him a "junk" friend because that is our common interest...we go to the flea markets together. He is very quirky...you should see his house! He has a duplex....lives in both sides of it. He might be called a "hoarder" but he is very neat and clean and everything is extremely well organized. He has dozens of collections. Like, in his bedroom is a tall cabinet with glass doors and many shelves. In it is many, many, many figurines of women/girls in long dresses. I said, "David, what is this?" He said, "Ladies in long dresses."...See MoreAlmost time to bury the money! New years eve

Comments (16)As I recall.....you put a penny on a windowsill. Just one in a window on New Years Day, preferably just after midnight. For luck/money throughout the year. I should ad....my husband teased me.....we sold a house....one we didn't like for waaaay more than it should have sold for....the only house we ever sold with a penny in the window.....so he/my husband....ran around the house saying he wanted to put pennies in every window!!! Like a nut! His silly excitement was fun....as he attributed our apparent "luck/money to your household" to my penny in the window......teasing me. You don't have to sell the house to get the "lucky money"....just happened that way for us. :0) Or so it seems....See MoreBury the money!
Comments (37)I hope this does not portend disaster....I buried 2 cents in a pot of plants in front of my apt. When I went to dig them up, I could only find 1 cent. And a buried pecan. I suspect a squirrel might have buried the pecan, it is a really large pot, but why would he dig up a penny? I'm hoping that Those In Charge of Good Luck will decide to grant both me and the squirrel a good year....See More- 3 years agolast modified: 3 years ago
