Do millionaires pick up stray coins on the street?

Here's what's coming up for the week of May 19, 2014.

From the Marketplace Datebook, here’s an extended look at what’s coming up next week:

Students from around the country are in Washington to compete in the annual National Geographic Bee championships getting underway Monday.

Look over your financial plans because Tuesday is Be a Millionaire Day. Something I think most of us like to think about. At least how we’ll spend it.

Also on Tuesday, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee holds a roundtable discussion on economic security for working women.

And 60 years ago, Bill Haley and His Comets’ “Rock Around the Clock” was released as the B-side of the single “Thirteen Women.” It still sounds totally rockin’.

Toward the end of the week, we get some reports on housing for April: Thursday, the National Association of Realtors reports on sales of existing homes. Friday, the Commerce Department issues data on new home sales.

And before you vanish into your three-day odyssey of BBQ, beaches and beer for Memorial Day weekend, let’s land face up on National Lucky Penny Day.

That’s right, pick that lucky penny up: you’re working toward being a millionaire, after all.
