I love the idea of tracking how much change you find on the ground. Anytime I see change on the ground I pick it up and tell myself, “that’s more than my savings account accrued in interest this month” which is true. It’s worth the effort, and now I’m inspired to track it as well.
Thank you!

In reply to BeSmartRich. Haha... I was actually prompted to start the separate savings account because of my wife! I wanted to show her just how much it adds up over time so she stopped making fun of me! and it worked! :)

That’s great J, 5K is nothing to sneeze at. Oh wait I did almost sneeze when I saw the total you saved. I guess I’m calling my car insurance provider today. Time to challenge them to save me money.

5K is a lot of money. Wow your challenge was extremely successful. Congrats~!. I have the exactly same mindset when it comes to money and sometimes I overthink which makes my wife unhappy. Well.. Deal with it wifey!

Thanks for sharing!

Woahhh – loving that!! It really is all about the challenge with this stuff. And then the longer you go, the more it becomes habit!

Let’s see if you can go 4 months now w/ no groceries ;)

Congrats! It has been so fun watching you go through this challenge…and you had some outstanding results! My wife and I recently went a month without spending any money (other than rent and utility-type stuff) and it was a blast! We haven’t bought groceries in 3 months. I think the whole idea of a challenge is just plain fun!

In reply to Done by Forty.

haha… used Toyota :)

reminds me of a friend who used to measure units of time in cigarettes. he’d always tell me how long somewhere took by how many cigs he could smoke before getting there – hah.
