Original caption

We pay off little bits of our mortgage on dog walks, so this afternoon we decided to see who could find the most 10c cans 💸🤍 Every little bit counts and seeing how much every little bit saves in interest really puts it into perspective 👀 Do you collect 10c cans? (and if not, am I starting to convince you yet 🫢)

Transcript

This afternoon me and my partner are competing to see who can find the most 10c cans. We will honestly so competitive. I think if we started doing this six months ago, we'd have the house paid off by now. Jarad ended up finding 12 cans, but unfortunately for him, I don't lose. I ended up finding 13. But combined, that's $2.50 in cans, which saves us $12.46 in interest over the last 30 year loan.
