Hi! I’m awful at saving money, posting here because I’m proud of this one.
Decided I’d like to retire one day so I starting shoving my money into an empty water jug that’s an absolute bitch to pull it out of, even if I’m tempted. This is my 3 month cumulative total, taking it to the bank to shove into my IRA to continue being untouchable. Saved all of my ones and twos, all my change, ANYTHING I accidentally sent through the washer and dryer immediately was not mine any longer but went to savings. These were all non negotiables.
$1,056 in $1 bills $60 in $2 bills $35 in $5 bills $40 in $10 bills $20 in $20 bills $100 in 1 $100 bill Change: Pennies- $5.84 Nickels- $11.10 Dimes- $36.40 Quarters- $79.25
Grand total? $1443.59
Plan for the next three months is to be a bit more aggressive and add one of each bill in a week except $100’s. Also has motivated me to check my pockets more frequently and has consequentially resulted in less laundry based pen explosions.
Just wanted to share here in case anyone else needed some motivation.
