Instead of rolling my change, I called the bank. They run it through their change counter for free. So, I did that. (My old bank charged 3% to do this, which is odd, because it is the SAME bank, just different branch i this town), and I have the same accounts I always have, I just added DH to them....

Anyway, I have that to add to my $20 challange. My change is from several sources--mainly from cleaning out the cars, the pop machine we own proceeds, found on the ground money, and to break the girls of talking sassy, they now pay me a quarter when they talk back (broke that habbit real quick!) or if they get caught leaving lights on when we aren't home. I also got some money from the consignment store earlier this week.

I am also counting my money saved from using coupons. So far this year, I have invested $5 in newspapers to get the coupons, and have saved $30.


I took all my money to the bank awhile ago and it is now in a savings account. (I already had the savings account, but moved what was in it back to my checking so I could keep this money seperate). So, I now have $220.15 total, sitting in the bank.

I don't plan on spending this money on anything, unless I see something I can buy to turn into even more money. Although, I may change it into our money market account later on to get more interest.
