I bet it was more than 2 G's! I once took 1,300 dollars worth of quarters in to my bank. They looked at me like I had just robbed an arcade or something. But back before paying with plastic was the norm, that was an effective way I could save money. I would purposely break a dollar so I wouldn't use my pocket change. Sounds weird but that's how I saved 1,300 bucks lol. I don't do well with money. As soon as I get it, I go spend it on something. Saving change was a surefire way to save and it surely adds up! Kudos to your wife for buying good stocks!
