They’d have to be pretty old/special to get more than $2.00 of it. Unless you’re selling them to people who don’t know better :)

Before tossing them $2 dollar bills into savings I’d take a looksy online and see if you can get more than $2 for each one.
If you’re gonna stick it into savings for the $$$ value it may be worth it to try and get more than $2 and then put that money into savings.

Good position to be in!

Can’t really advise without knowing you/your goals/your situation, but you can’t ever go wrong w/ investing your leftover money :) Keep reading some blogs and seeing what others are doing and what makes the most sense for you, and then pull the trigger! That’s the most important part before your $$ starts flying out the door again. (or, in your case your savings account it seems like – hah – which wouldn’t be too horrible ;))

But personally, yes, I invest all my investment $$ into Vanguard these days. As well as Acorns.com just for more padding which also uses Vanguard funds as well as others.

You’re about to go down a beautiful path here, so I salute you in making it happen! And for living on less than half our income too. You keep that up and you’ll be a millionaire in no time.

Money, I have recently stumbled on your brilliant website and have been overwhelmed, but extremely excited to start my own millionaire pledge. I have USAA, $30,000.00 in my savings account and a paid off vehicle. I make $3,800 monthly with $1,600 in living expenses. How should I start? IRA first with USAA then Vanguard?

hah – no shame at all.

yeah – you’d probably spend about $50/mo total switching, though you do have to buy the phones outright first which is the only sucky part.

I hope you do it and then share it with me so I can have fun through you :) It’s true that we want a lot of things, but you know very well the stuff you’d walk right up to the register and buy vs those you wouldn’t. I dream about ever Mercedez that crosses my path but not gonna put those on the list – hah!
