As many of you know, I have been experimenting with the claim that by placing the number 8 in your wallet, it will grant you riches. In the first 8 hours, I found a whopping $0.23. Now, nearly 2 weeks later, I'm afraid the total now stands at a measly $.024. Yeah, that's right. In almost 2 weeks time, I have been gifted with 1 penny.

After a spree of recent purchases, my wallet is now empty, save for the Post-it note inscribed with the number 8. Although not satisfied with the results, I will continue to keep the 8--ever hopeful of the powers of numerology.
