Well, dh got paid today, so I was doing the budget. I realized I had over-budgeted for our envelope system (spending real cash makes us spend less money than using a card) So I am putting the extra $50 into the challenge, as well as $40 from a cash paying client.
Since this is now my "new car fund", I'm also adding $100. I hope I'm not changing the $20 challenge too much by doing this. It just helps me to save that $100 if I pay it to myself at the beginning of the month, instead of waiting toward the end to see if we have any money left over.
My question is - Once my challenge reaches $1000, I'd like to put it in some kind of account so it will earn some interest. I'd like to keep it somewhat liquid. Any suggestions? Maybe a money market acct?? What do you all do with yours?
Have a great Independence Day, all!!!
Previous balance $379
