Beautiful!! I want a note at the end of the year with an update, please! :)

Kathryn, thank you for your service, and I am so sorry that the powers that be won’t let you save. I can’t help but wonder if it’s that way with other forms of aid. Ridiculous to discourage savings. Anyway, I suggest putting it in the freezer or in an oatmeal box on your pantry shelf–somewhere a thief won’t look in case, God forbid, someone breaks into your home.

I am going to make this retroactive and cross off some of the small ones for the first three weeks. I may double it, as one poster has suggested–adding a zero would be great, but not sure I could do $10,000. My coin jar is full–time to visit the CoinStar. (I will opt for the Amazon gift card and find the actual money to save somewhere else–last time I checked, CoinStar charges 15% if you want cash.) Thanks for the inspiration!

What? Really? What about stashing it into investments or using it to pay off debts? Saving it into a jar would also still be better than not saving anything into a jar :)

I’m a disabled Viet Nam era Army vet living on a non-service connected disability. The ONLY drawback is putting the money in an actual savings account. If I have even $20 in a savings account, it gets subtracted from my pension….it’s considered “income”. So…if I saved $1000 in a savings account, my government would deduct it and for one month I would only receive what’s left from my pension….$97. I have to just keep it in a jar. That sucks!

This is just what I need right now! I just planned a vacation yesterday and I was gonna do the hundred do list a month thing since it’s not for a year. I love this though!

I like how you put “in theory” there ;)

(and glad you’re liking the site!)

What I have found best for me has been automation. In theory, when I get a paycheck, I transfer 15% of it to my broker account. Btw. you have a great site.
