Saving change in jars adds up fast! A friend of mine suggested saving $5 bills. Every time I had a 5 I’d put it in an envelope. After about 6 months (and 4 envelopes) I had just under $1000.00.
How many extra $20s or bigger did you have to get from the bank to do that? The save your change/ones/fives trick only works if it convinces you to not spend frivolously, so you decide not to break a 20 to get coffee because a lot of money will go into the envelopes.
