Not sure about $20 Challenge

January 3rd, 2007 at 01:34 am

Okay, so it is 2007 and I've been on this blog for almost 3 months. I've seem many people post under the $20 Challenge Category and I've read what Jeff said about the rules and what not.

But I am still confused as to how to use this category and what to put in it.

I guess it all depends on me. So I am going to make my $20 Challenge to saving money by using coupons and basically stretching my money in creative ways.

Just like the Fukubukuro (Lucky bag or Grab bag entry I've made yesterday), I guess I saved a lot of money. So, I am going to place that in there.

Also, at the end of every month, if I hit my budget of spending and saving goals, then I will add another $20 to the challenge.

If I completed 3 hours of exercise per week without using money by excercising at home with my dumbbells or go for a run outside, I will add another $20 dollars to my challenge box.

To summarize:

add $20 when
1) I use coupons or creative ways to stretch my money.
2) When I hit my budget goals at the end of each month.
3) When I exercise for more than 3 hours a week without incurring extra costs.

    I think that the $20 challenge could be for whatever you want. It could be a long term savings account or you could use it for a specific purpose. It could be for an emergency savings account or a dream that you have. I haven't decided yet. I'm just going to continue saving and let it pile up. Hopefully by that time, you would only use it for a really good reason. I'm just calling my account the $20 savings challenge. If I receive a refund, it will go in there. Any unusual money. It could be a store coupon for $10 for spending a certain amount of money. There are so many ways we can use. I think the main thing is to do things that we never thought of before OR putting money in the bank that we would have ordinarily left in the house laying around.
