I sat down this morning and went over all my budget envelopes. My electric bill was under $90, so I had $70 left over for the challenge. Of course, I also had my ridge money and now I have extra money because I have paid my car off, but I continue to fund that envelope. I had several other envelopes that were very over funded, so i took that cash out to put in my challenge money also. It might as well be earning interest even if it is only 2.23%. All in all, I came up with $1335.00 to add to my challenge money. It has been a good day!!
Prev. total $6908.00
today 1335.00
new total $8243.00

I did read the post of what the challenge entails. I do budget using the envelope system, but don't make use of the excess in this way. Maybe I should start?
Thank you for any inputs.

Thank you; I look forward to some serious savings, and I have to admit that this is a fun way to do it.
