Every little bit counts

This last week was a hard time to save money. My wife $700 check went to paying off our credit cards in which I had to use $200 from my last check to pay for food and supplies. Unfortunately, I did not have any money set aside to pay off my school loan or add additional money to my IRA and Peoples Energy stock. However, I was able to set aside some money that I hide from my wife in a jar. What I would do, is buy a large soda from McDonalds that is on sale for $1.00. From the $2.00 to pay for the soda and sales tax, the extra money went into my jar. Wednesday, October 21, 2009
