RE: Picking up Pennies: What Makes Something "Worthwhile?"
Great article. My generic response is anything that matches your short and long-term goals is "worth it." The problem for most of us is that we do not have well-defined goals. We just kind wanter around.
On a practical level, I judge things as "worthwhile" when they allow me to provide better for my family and/or give me more time with my family.
Picking up pennies? Yes. They are not taxed. And I look for pennies older than 1982 because they contain 2cents worth of copper (more or less).
Thanks @sumatranate; I quite agree that most people really don't have much of a goal or plan. Sometimes it even seems like our lack of planning actually gets in our way... as we bounce this way, and then that.
Didn't realize older pennies actually had metal value above 1 cent.
Humans do tend to bounce around a lot!
