"Change" the way that you live today! A great and simple way to get yourself some dough that has always been there, but you just don't notice since it seems to have no value. Digging up change out of your couch, ashtray in your car, or even picking it up in the parking lot of your grocery store when you are leaving; all great examples of easy ways to make those pennies grow into dollars.
I keep a container in my bedroom (it's a mug if you want to know). Every day when I come home I take all of the collected change out of my pockets and dump them into the mug. Let's do some math here to help you figure out what kind of money can really be made from doing this.
If you can come up with .50 a day (which is easily doable! Just look at the ground when you are walking around!), after a year you would have around $183. If you started at the age of 30 and did this until the age of 65 putting the change into a retirement account you could end up with over $80,000 extra when you retire. The start off amount does not sound like that much, but as it grows gaining interest over time. I don't know about you though, but an extra 80k sounds great to me.
