A New Saving Challenge

Well the year has finally caught up to me. I have hit total exhaustion and caught the crud that is going around. So Not much has been getting done this week. I feel that I have lost ground on the house. My big accomplishment of the week was getting the change jar to the bank to deposit all the loose change hanging around the house.

This is where the challenge comes in. Most people do not realize how much spare change is laying around the house with a penny here, a nickle there and a few dollars of change in the couch. So here is the goal for everyone this week. gather up all the change you can find just laying around the house. Next bring it to your bank or credit union and deposit all the money you found in your savings account. Now leave this money in the bank or credit union and don't spend it. After all you were just letting it do nothing anyway.  Do this every few months and in a few decades all your found money will give you a nice treat. This is a great plan for getting rich very slowly. Maybe a little faster if the interest rates ever pick up again.

The only prize you will get is knowing that you house is a little less cluttered  and a small boost to your savings account. If you do not have a savings account check with your local credit union. They usually have lower minimum deposits and pay slightly more than most banks.

Well I have run out of energy so it is time to go be a couch potato for the rest of the weekend so I can have the energy to keep up with Eric next week while he is on spring break. Have a great weekend and enjoy your families.

Wednesday

Not a whole lot got done today. Eric was kind enough to share his cold. I still find it amazing that I don't get more of Eric's colds with the sometimes long hours I put in. I did talk to the gentleman for whom I am making the caps for; and the order was cut by one hat so that I have only one hat to go.

My wonderful husband is going to bring dinner home although I am more thirsty and tired then hungry. He defiantly is a keeper. I am hoping that Eric sleeps tonight because I really need the sleep. As I head of to get some juice I would like to to have a great evening and enjoy your families.

Making Lemonade

I am still sick and have spent most of the day sleeping. Speaking of which another nap sounds good about now. Not much knitting or any spinning got done today. I did manage to fill the recycle basket but am too tired to walk it to the back door. I will also skip trying to make dinner tonight and let John worry about that. Just maybe I can kick this thing by tomorrow.

My drink of choice today lemon water to make add crushed ice to fill 3/4  of a large drinking glass. Top off with water. Squeeze in 1/4 of a lemon and add 1 sugar cube. Stir drink repeat as necessary.

Enjoy your families and have a great evening.
