Re: Ways To Save Over $100
I'm sure someone has already mentioned this before, but here's what I do...
When I have to buy something somewhere, I pay cash and never dig around for change - I just use the dollar bills. What change I get back goes to the money jar at home. About every 4 weeks, I'll roll up the change and when I get $100, it goes to the bank in savings.
Another thing I do...all my rebates from RiteAid and mail-in-offers go into savings.
I also pay myself when I clean the house. I transfer $40 over everytime I do house cleaning (which varies from weekly to biweekly depending on how much we're home). I use to pay someone $45 to clean bathrooms, kitchen and den every 2 weeks, but now I pay myself because I still budget that money for cleaning.
And I have an automatic debit from my account monthly to a higher yield account. My paycheck take home pay does not reflect this amount so I don't "see" it. It's gone before I get it - easier to not miss it...
