The Traveling Family Adventures with the Weeks and Wade Family

 

My family and I have lived in Colorado for a little more than 9 years now, and we take a lot of small road trips. We also travel to many other parts of different states. Well I decided to start sharing our experiences on a blog. The blog is The Traveling Family Adventures. I have made several posts as of now, and plan on adding many more. The blog is going to become a big part of the Weeks and Wade family home business. 

I have been working online for a number of years. Usually making small amounts of money. At one point I was making close to $2000 a month, but I started slacking on many of the income sites, or the sites simply sold or shut down. I decided this year that many things needed to change when it comes to my kids. I currently work 50 to 60 hours a week and I have been missing most of my kids lives. 2020 is the year I have finally decided to make the change and put a plan together to make a real business at home so I can spend more time with my kids. So far we have an Etsy shop set up, Weeks Finds, an Ebay shop set up, a couple of  blogs, and many small things that help with the income. 

My plan is by the end of 2021 I will be able to travel most of the time with the kids and my mom, and have my nieces and nephew join us when they can. I will be doing road schooling with the kids, and they will learn from real world experiences as well as text book knowledge. The plan has begun to fall into place, and I pray it will continue. So you will be hearing more about the Weeks and Wade family on this blog and more.

Look through your pocket change

I have learned through working for years in retail, always look through your pocket change. There are so many coins that are worth more money that you could imagine. Even one that I found on a coin collecting information site, a Close AM 1992 P penny, is worth over $20000. It is amazing the value of some coins today.

I work in a convenient store, and have people pay with change all the time. I have had people pay with fairly rare coins, without even noticing. One in particular was someone came in and purchased gas with $11 in quarters, still with plastic separators in them. Nobody that collected the change knew anything, so they removes the little separators and put them to the side. I bought them the next day. These coins were 2005Kansas quarter that has a misprint. It says "In god we Rust". It is missing the T. These quarters can sell for quite a bit. I sold 4 on Ebay for about $20. I was not happy with that transaction so I am waiting to take those to a collector, but that is about an hour from me.

That is just one example. I have found silver quarters, collectors edition coins, a roll of uncirculated coins, and much more. This is what people do when they need something, they pay with coins they have been saving forever. If they would make effort they could sell those coins for quite a bit more than face value.

So for your financial sake, watch your change. Look for items online worth money. I know a few

The quarter mentioned above has the In God we Rust on it, or a large hump on the bison, or the spitting bison.

1942-45 wartime nickles

Some of the Indian head nickles

1955 Double died penny

2007 dollar coin that does not have In God we Trust

That is just to name a few. Do a little research and check your pocket change. This can help your finances a lot if you find a valuable coin.
