This post is an update to the Million Dollar Savings Club. If you are not familiar with this club, you can learn more by reading my post describing it.

I thought I’d write this post saying how easy it is save $1 per day in 3 separate piles. But that’s already not proving to be the case. Here we are at day two and I already ran into a problem.

Last night, before I went to bed I saw (on my night-stand) my 3 piles of money: Savings, Investing, and Giveaway. I thought to myself “Oh yeah, I have to put another $1 in each pile”. Can you imagine my surprise when I looked in my wallet to find only 2 $1 bills? That’s right. I somehow spent all of my singles in the last two days! I had a $5 bill so I put that in the investing pile.

I will use it as ‘collateral’ with myself when I get some more singles today.

Saving $3 per day seems so easy to do. But, if you don’t keep a steady supply of singles in your wallet, being in ‘the club’ gets really hard.

TIP: Remember to keep a lot of singles on hand. By putting $3 daily into your savings fund, they’ll disappear quickly.

As of today I have:

Savings $2
Investing $6 ($4 will be returned tonight)
Give-Away: $2
