I live by myself now and hacve started a similar thing. When I return from a shopping trip or whatever, I empty my purse. I keep enough exact change for the next bus fare, and anything $5 or under goes into a coffee tin. I do rat it occasionally, eg for milk at service station downstairs, but mostly don't touch it. I counted it a few weeks ago and there was around $300 there. Once I decide to do this, I just automatically do it and don't seem to miss the change at all.
Just keep your eye on the ball!!!

ReplyDeleteI've done this to save up for something specific, and it worked well. Maybe I should start again!
