Added more to the Challenge today

June 19th, 2008 at 09:55 pm

After picking up my paycheck, when filling out the deposit slip, I rounded out the amount to be deposited. The change I received in return ($15.00) was put into my $20 Challenge. That said, here's my update:

Previous amount: $45.00
Added today: $15.00
Total to date: $60.00

Woohoo!!!

A question of which I would really love to hear a few responses. Many of you have huge chunks of change to your challenge. Where to you "park" your challenge money?

You know I currently keep mine in a large plastic Coke bottle; I don't have enough yet to make an impact on interest earnings. But as the amount grows, I will put it into a high yield savings account...

    Mine is in and ING savings account. Even $25 earns interest. If you would like a link to open an account, let e know. If you open it with $250 or more, you get a $25 bonus and I get a $10 bonus. Smile

    Some of my challenge money goes to pay down debt and some of it goes into savings to pay for future vacations and a tiny bit of it goes into checking to pay for little monthly splurges.

    I, too, have an ING account - but thank you for the offer, Koppur. The three comments above will inspire me to do this every month. I will take my total bills out of my piggy bank and deposit it into my ING account. This will also depend on how much I've saved over that month. Otherwise, I will deposit it every other month.

    Thank you muchly, all! Smile
