How on earth could a dollar a day make a difference?
$1.00 * 365 Days = $365 in the bank
You're not taxed on this money and if I don't have "saving money" on my brain, I seem to have "spending money" on my brain.
There are many ways to save a dollar. You'll often hear people tell you to stop buying the latte every day. I think each person needs to figure out what that looks like for them. In my October 2009 "latte" post I wrote:
"What habits do I have that cost money to my family each day? Long showers, washing dishes using a lot more water than necessary, turning the heat up, leaving lights on - it all adds up."
Today I would add running the dryer too much and wasting food to that list. Have you saved a dollar today?
Good thoughts! Sometimes it's easy to forget that the little things really do add up.
ReplyDeleteI've been making a point lately to open the blinds and turn off the lights by 9am, listenting to the radio instead of having the tv on for noise (I think that uses a little less power) and when I think it's too cold in the house I'll add a layer of clothes, do some jumping jacks, and maybe bake something.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely all adds up!
