2 Easy Money Savings Challenges

“The art is not in making money, but in keeping it.”

Having a savings is essential to financial success. Not only does it prepare you for those unexpected financial responsibilities, but also gives you the wants from life – and not merely the needs. I firmly believe that we don’t live just to pay bills and die. It’s a blunt statement, but totally true.

Yet, life has a way of making us take steps back as we try and move forward. Sometimes it may feel like life’s wants aren’t truly attainable because we are so focused on the needs which have to be taken care of. This is where the importance of savings comes in, and it’s another truth that ‘every little bit helps’.

When I first started saving money, I’d put aside the change. It didn’t matter what it was {from a quick coffee stop to groceries}, any change placed in my hand would be put aside and not used as ‘money to spend’ anymore. Doing this adds up fast! Then, once day I was found $40 in a purse that I didn’t use for perhaps a good year. I didn’t even realize I had put it there, and obviously it wasn’t money that was missed. So, I added this to my stockpile of pocket change and decided to increase the amount I was putting aside for savings.
