So I rolled up my change for the month and counted some of the $1 bills I threw in there. $33.50 Not bad at all, especially since $20 of that was ust quaters!!
So, normally this would go in my ING/EF but I am backing off on saving in there so much and working on paying down my CC debt. Not a whole lot goes on it each month (about $100-$200 on the Med CC which has an APR of 33% and abput $100 on the LB CC which has an APR of 23%). We need towrok out a new system for saving for rent and car payments as well since there has bee some changes in our finances.
So, since I already made a payment to both CC's this month, this $33.50 will sit in the checking account. If, at the end of the month it is still there, it will go to the CC balance. Any oter money that I normally get for the ING/EF/$20 challenge will sit with it until the end of the month. Then, bam, a second payment on the CC's.
February $20 Challenge total: $33.50
