I've been thinking about what type of challenge I might post here for 2021 that would be more than just me rambling and would be helpful to others. A couple of weeks ago someone said to me "My daily coffee habit isn't going to keep me from buying a house." Just my opinion - but I think that mindset is quite dangerous.
So - thinking I will utilize this platform to talk about how those small savings add up - you know, how pennies turn into dollars, that sort of thing - and set small daily or weekly goals for myself to help make that happen in my life.
My small goal for today - to get to $30 on Inboxdollars - so I can have the payment transferred to my paypal and ultimately to my bank account. My current Inboxdollars is $27.30 - I am going to try to get to $30 by the end of the day - so I can get the payment soon. I will have to do a lot of their surveys, etc. - but I have nothing but time on my hands today.
Let's see if I can do it!

I always take a few dollars less than what Hubby allotted me for my allowance every month. That adds up to at least $120.00 a year, which while not seeming to be much added up over the years of our retirements is to close to $2K.
I also throw all our loose change into jars and every second year it pays for the costs of our family reunion.

Re: Small Goals - Pennies to Dollars
This is exactly what I'm talking about Jackie! It frustrates me when people don't think about their "small amounts of money" as being important. I am not judging - to each their own - but I see people who hit the drive through for a $4 beverage every morning - then go "get lunch" - spending $8 or so every day - so let's say $60 a week - times 50 weeks = THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS a year!!! And these are the same people who are griping that they can't afford car insurance and the like.Jackielou wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 10:49 am I always take a few dollars less than what Hubby allotted me for my allowance every month.
