AN OFFER FOR YOU TODAY:
I know someone who will give you and I exactly:86,400 pennies a day starting today.
That is 864 dollars a day. Seven days a week.
Fifty-two weeks a year.
You must spend it all every day. No balance carried.
No accumulation.
$6,000.00 week= $315,000.00 year.
Available every day, if you don’t spend, it’s gone.
GOD GAVE EACH OF US IN 2006:
86,400 sec=1440 min=24 hours a day= 6000 min a week=
315,000 min a year. Isn’t a minute worth at least a penny?
