So inspired by Broke 207's awesome giveaway and musings on found money, my baby having a cold which is keeping me from the parade of mom's groups that usually keeps me busy and reasonably sane during the days, and my love of creating random little pockets of money, I'm starting a little experiment of my own. I'm going to open a little bank account for all the found money-- the $1.40 I got this morning from the bottle redemption center, the $3 here and there I get from doing surveys online, the random Euros we have from our trip to Spain several years ago-- stuff like that. And I'm going to see how it adds up. And in case you are nerdy like me about little collections o' money, I'll keep a tally by the shiny little purple piggy bank icon on the right here.
Where do you find little extra pockets o' cash?

Ive started putting all the money I save on coupons and sales each week in a seperate savings account. I need to start doing this too. It is a great idea! I have little bits of money all over the place. Just like I used to feel about couponing, I never give them a thought. I should!
ReplyDeleteI love the little purple piggy idea. It does add up fast!
ReplyDeleteA) thanks for the blog pimp!
ReplyDeleteB) that's a sweet idea! now that i've been getting better about saving in general, i definitely need to start finding other places that i can squeeze money out of. where are you doing online surveys? i've never found a site that pays cash that i like.
You're more than welcome! I like Pinecone Research-- they pay $3 for each survey, I get the check usually w/in a week, and you don't have to go through the whole qualification process only to find out you don't qualify like you do with a bunch of the other companies. I also really like MyPoints~ I'm going to post about that one before long. I went crazy and signed up for a crapload of survey companies at first and there are several that I just want to reach the cash out threshold and then be done with.
