Little bits add up!!

June 27th, 2007 at 07:53 pm

The braves and the stock market have let me down lately. I am putting a dollar in my challenge money every time the braves win and every time the stock market goes up. Well, finally the braves won 2 games in a row, so that is $2. Then I walked a mile and did 20 flights of stairs so that is another $2.
I went to the grocery store to get sausage and it was $1 off, plus I had a $2 coupon off on toilet paper. Then I stopped at CVS and saved $1 on diet sprite. That is a total of $8 I have to add to my challenge money.

I made up my savings deposit for the month. I had 6 or 7 small checks (one big one) and my challenge money. Plus, what I had saved out of my dh's paycheck for the emergency fund. Also, I put the money for christmas and state tax in the bank too. I just keep a notebook keeping track of how much is in each catagory. Oh, And I also have money for my car fund. When we paid off the van a few years ago, I kept making payments to myself.

So, all in all, I had over $4400 to add to my savings this month. Pretty good, if I do say so myself!
prev. total $13,440.00
today 8.00
new total $13,448.00

    I am wondering, Ima, do you save all of your money together in one account or do you have designated accounts for different things? I have designated accounts for different things right now. I have a holding account I save money in to transfer/convert to an IRA CD. I have other Roth IRA CDs, a Roth IRA mutual fund, 11 individual stocks owned outside of a retirement fund, non IRA CDs in varrying maturities (all 5 years or less), one small Treasury Direct account. These last two I use as an emergency fund. I just opened an online savings account with ING, my building fund (for home repairs and rennovations), my reserve savings/auto loan down payment. This is the one I dip into most frequently when I overspend. And of course I have a 401(k).

    Is this too many?
