Anyone up for a challenge? $1 bills
| Fri, 03-31-2006 - 10:08pm |
I know a long time ago we did this challenge and since I've actually forced myself to do it again, I thought it might be fun to do for April.
It's saving your $1 bills just like you would save change in a change jar but instead of change it's singles.

I think that's a great idea! I can't participate because I only have $10 a week spending money (and I'm saving $5 of that each week in a rainy day stash) but I will definitely cheer everyone else on!! And I'll keep saving my coin-change, at least. Maybe one day when dh gets a full-time job again we can do the dollar bill thing, too! :-)

Hi Everyone,
This is an amazing idea. I must say, being Canadian I tend to already do this because of all the loonies ($1) and twoonies ($2) that I get. It easy to throw change in a jar and not realize you may be putting $4.00 away at a time!!!
Good Luck!

Bex -
I think another poster may have mentioned it, but it's not really different for us except we get $1 & $2 in a coin format as opposed to a bill...loonies and toonies :)
So I'm definitely in, since I already try to save much of them when I break a bill.

I like the challenge!! Since it's been a "challenge" NOT using the debit card, maybe we'll succeed at BOTH challenges!!! Count me in.

Hello,
I'm up for the challenge. Currently, I have only 2 dollars in my purse, along with some change. I guess it's time to pull out some more cash from the food budget. I checked my DH's wallet and he has 5 dollars, all in singles. Our change jar has a few singles thrown in. I'm sure that if I take the singles out of DH's wallet, I'll need to replace them with the "blow" money from the budget, or he'll get grouchy. =)
So, do we toss the singles into the change jar (or envelope) daily? I'm thinking as often as we have some to throw in. =)

I'm definitely up for this! :-D Especially since I'm using only cash nowadays. This sounds like fun! :-D I think I'll save my $1's for awhile and maybe use them for an early holiday savings plan. :-D A "Christmas Club" of $1.00 bills. :-D
Pat :-D
