Of course, we'll need more than this, but I'm thinking if I assign this as a certain fund - "the kids' fun money in Texas" or something like that.

The weekly average is $26.50, so there...Very true. The weekly average is $26.50, so there are many versions that can be done. Something I do, but forgot to share, is that I throw anything extra that comes my way into 52 Week Money Challenge. If I take off the aluminum cans to the metal recycling place, I use that money. When people reimburse me for something at work (like going in on a gift, etc.), I use that. When I get my incentive check from my cancer policy (they pay me $75 to have a screening done each year), I use that money. Maybe this is a bit of my OCD coming out, but I take great satisfaction in crossing off the number. I guess it is similar to the feeling one gets when crossing things off a list. Have a good one!Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-82499378823122422892016-01-04T15:40:17.462-05:002016-01-04T15:40:17.462-05:00this is a good idea, but like you said, i don'...this is a good idea, but like you said, i don't like that the amounts get higher closer to the time of year that it's harder to save! haha. i like your bingo version, or perhaps doing it backwards. i was thinking about that but then i just set up an automatic savings for like $25-$30 a week to a different account. easy peasy!Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-74699241085503420662016-01-04T09:48:41.097-05:002016-01-04T09:48:41.097-05:00We did this last year, except super sized and were...We did this last year, except super sized and were able to save so much money! We did the automatic deposit with our bank, so we never really missed the money we were saving. Such a great way to save money, thanks for sharing!Cara (Kindly Unspoken)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05646839632185816703noreply@blogger.com
