I am amazed at the results of my $20 Challenge. I joined this site in August and started the $20 Challenge about halfway through the month. Since August 16th or so, I have saved EXACTLY $700 in my $20 Challenge Account!!!!
YAY!!!!!
No to mention that I've also been building up my regular savings account! I am so proud of myself! I hadn't saved money in an account since I was about 18 or so. And now, becasue of your help and encouragement, I saved $700 in 4 months!!!
My goal fo $20 Chaenge savings in 2007 is going to be.....$3,000!! It will be difficult, b/c there are two of us here and we are living on a smaller budget than last year, but I'm going to work hard to do it.
I'll put money into my $20 Account/EF from sales on e-bay and 1/2.com, rolled change and spare $1 bills, any surprise extras, like refunds, $ I earn from freelance writing, $ I earn from mystery shopping, and $ I earn from surveys.
In addition to this goal, I also have some plans to pay off the rest of my CC debt, pay Mom back (but I know I won't be able to do all $15,000 this year...I'd be happy with $5,000), and save for my savings account, as well as a trip we are planning to take to Vegas, and for a new tattoo.
All that will be budgeted out of our regular pay, though.
Happy New Year Everyone!!!
