Not sure why it has been so long since I have posted. A lot has happened in two years. I got laid off, was unemployed for 9 months and have found a new job.

The economy being in the toilet does not always have to be a bad thing. Conveniently my mortgage is due to renewal in the next 2 months. I spoke to a rep at the bank I would like to transfer my mortgage over to and they advised they can lock me in for a rate of 4.15% for 5 years. When I setup my mortgage through another bank three years prior I received a rate of 5.25%, which was really good

I started over my coin saving after initially creating this blog (yes I have slacked on updating it, that will change). I collected my giant pickle jar and my blue piggy bank (yes its a pig) and started sorting and counting.
