YES to all of this!!! I’m at $3,825.34 for the year so far with those “Spavings” ;)

The point is more about pushing your limits than it is the actual money, although of course that’s a bonus win from it haha…

Good luck killing that mortgage so early – that’s going to feel amazing!

The other thing I’ve done in the past is to bank on the things I was going to buy but decided against. Was going to buy something on Amazon, decided against it? Put the money away. You were going to spend it anyway. Did that a few years ago and saved $500.

Or…look for ways to actually *save* money (reduce expenses) to equal $1000 in 100 days, not just to put that money aside? Double-check the quotes for your insurances, use coupons on something and save the difference, drop an unused subscription? I’m in the same boat as Joe right now but that was what I’m thinking of doing to hop into the challenge. I’m paying down my mortgage with the savings – goal is to be done by July 16, 2023 (23 years early).

Man those always feel good! I’m currently doing a decluttering project too trying to get rid of at least 1 thing a day for 30 days: https://eliteedgemoney.com/im-getting-rid-of-one-thing-every-day-for-the-next-30-days/

So far so good!

My AC went out and cost over $900 to repair! Maybe I’ll use one of these challenges to get my savings back up!

Generated $1,130 in cash on FB Market in less than 2 weeks, and as a bonus gained a bunch of storage space in my garage/shed. Sold 2 BBQ Grills, a generator, power tools I have multiples of, camping equipment, and even a bunch of Christmas lights…….Hoping to start round 2 in the next couple of weeks, although may be more difficult to get to $1,000 this time………Love your blog, keep up the creative content!!

Great man – love to hear it! Keep me updated with how it goes over time. That first stage when the light bulb goes off is the most fun! :)
