Joy in Simplicity - #12


Today will be short and sweet - including just a few ideas to help save a little fun money for you and your family.

1. Collect your change - it is amazing how quickly your change can add up - in about 18 months Joel and I were able to collect over $600 in change (we did throw some pills in the change jar as well when they were just laying around, but it was a great vacation fund.

2. When you go out to eat - order water instead of a drink and put $1.00 in a canister for each water you drink when you are out - you are saving money as you eat out but you are also saving money in a jar or other location that can be used for one of your home improvement projects.

3. Simply save - have designated accounts for different things you are saving for - such as a car, furniture, or a computer. Just putting a few dollars away each month will make a world of difference.

There you have it - three simple financial tips to help you simplify your life!
