Fwd: What does $1,000 worth of pennies look like?

Yes, I am obsessed with personal finance, and these are the kind of questions that keep me up at night.

Now, I'm not going to sit here and lie to you - I've never seen $1,000 worth of pennies.

I couldn't even really imagine that if I tried. 

The only person that *might* know is my buddy AJ Money from Budgets Are Sexy. He loves collecting coins. "It's a 'bout a five gallon water bottle full of pennies," he says.

But then again - he might not. It's just not a very practical scenario to find someone with that many pennies, you know? I'd guess, every time you broke a dollar you can put the change in the five gallon jug, at end of year it'll be 'bout $1,000 - $1,600+. If you use a debit card and Bank of America, they let you keep the change, it's about that much, honest. Now if you take it to a CoinStar machine in a Supermarket to count the change it may be less since they take a cut. You can Turn Coins into Cash.

Also... why would someone even have that many pennies to begin with even if you did come across it? The only reason I could think if would be to pay a BAD parking ticket that you don't deserve, and that would be pretty spiteful in my humble opinion.

Anyway, we should probably move on to more relevant money questions...

For example: What would an extra $1,000 - $2,000 per month look like for you?

Even better... how would you earn it?

I remember when I was just starting out in my band directing career - an extra $1k from some kind of side hustle would have been a total game changer for me.

I could have paid off my student loans faster.

I could have *actually* had an emergency fund (yep - didn't have one at all back in the day).

Maybe I could have started investing just a little bit sooner and take advantage of that sweet, sweet compound interest?

Unfortunately, I'll never know now. I'm old. Almost 31. It's too late.

But that doesn't mean that you can't find out.

That's why I've put together a "top 5" list of side hustles that can actually earn $1,000 per month.

Some of them take longer to achieve than others, of course, but they're all side hustles that I have seen people have legitimate success with over the years.

So if you're looking for a real way to make extra money this year...
