Every year I do the $20 challenge. It was started on this site about 8 or 9 years ago, I think.
Basically, you start with $20 and you add it it any way you want to.
I always add my Ingles advantage card savings at the grocerystore, the rebates that I get at our local building supply, all my credit card rebates, dividend checks, interest earned, my s/s since I have never spent a penny, garage sales and any other extra money that comes my way. I don't work any longer, so this is my way of contributing to the household income.
I ended the 2015 challenge with $21,315.00. My goal was to hit $20,000 for the year and I did.
I am ready to start the new $20 challenge with the interest that was credited to my four savings accounts today. They pay about 1% interest.
Mysavings direct 2 accounts $83
GE savings bank 13
Barclay bank 7
$20 challenge total $103.00
