Find a Penny, Pick It Up … Friday The 13th Money Superstitions

Posted

Whether or not you consider yourself superstitious, it’s hard to ignore Friday the 13th (especially if you suffer from triskaidekaphobia). Today’s date is closely associated with black cats, broken mirrors, and overall bad luck, but we’d rather channel our energies elsewhere. LearnVesters are keen to the fact that money and success don’t just happen. Still, certain money superstitions would like you to believe otherwise…

Read on our for favorite (and most absurd) money superstitions:

1. Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck!

2. Peel an onion, burn the skin, play the lotto, sure to win!

3. If your right hand palm is itchy (or a bee lands on it), money is coming to you.

4. Money attracts money—carry around a coin to collect more.

5. Keep a dime in the heel of your shoe to prevent your enemy from putting a “spell” on you.

6. If you count your profits, you will lose them.

7. If you see a shooting star (or a meteor shower will do), say “money” three times for it to come your way.

8. If you place your handbag on the floor, you will never have money.

9. On January 1st, stock up on your green vegetables to ensure prosperity for the year.

    Attract money–carry the number 8 in your wallet. According to numerology it’s the lucky money number.

    1> I have heard that the penny one  (and it is only if you find it heads up.) Is that true or not?

    2> Also, what is the criteria if your left hand itches?

    I think that I am looking for a website for women that will help us out by teaching us the strategies that men already know.  A website that will help us get ahead in the game financially, a website that will help us learn about how to buy a house, teach us the difference between mutual funds and stocks, etc.  I am at the point where I think you are just writing anything for the sake of just writing anything. I already have enough emails and spam in my in-box.
