$20 Challenge

March 15th, 2007 at 12:26 am

I guess it's time to start or catch up.

My original $20.00 was spent on You Need A Budget budgeting spreadsheet.

This has made me so much more aware of spending, that and reading everyone's blogs.

So I am going to go back over my receipts and find any discounts/coupons/rebates, etc and add to my "account".

I will also add in "found money" and the difference between using "blue money" and the face value.

So today:
I received two $50.00 rebate checks from our new cell phones. We already received two other $50.00 rebates on the same phones. There was a rebate from Costco and a rebate from Verizon.

My husband's cell phone is paid by his business, so basically we added me onto his account and I will pay $25.00 a month.

I also found 12 cents on the floor around the washer this morning.

Oh and yesterday we got our annual rebate from our AMEX that was $158.22.

Woohoo it has been a good month!

Start:
$0.00
add: 178.34

Total: 178.34

    A good way to save money is to buy your stuff used at consignment stores, yardsales, etc. But do what most people don't do. When you find a pair of Jeans at a yard sale for $1.00 don't say whoohoo. I only spent $1.00 for these jeans, I can now buy more stuff! Instead say wow $1.00 for these jeans, they run $10.00 at Wal-Mart. Now I can write myself a check for $9.00 and deposit it into a savings account or payoff debt with this cash.

    You don't save money until you actually write yourself a check with the amount saved and put it into a savings account or debt reduction like a credit card. The savings will get sucked out of your wallet if you don't do this.

    I can say woohoo whenever I want. Go play somewhere else.
