It was the first day of the $100 Savings Challenge and I don’t think I could find much in today’s challenge…but the boy surprised me!
First, if you are not signing up for a $100 savings challenge, make sure to register as directed (with prizes!!):
How to take part in the $100 Savings Challenge

The first day of challenge:
Make a wallet + wallet cleaning: Check coat pockets, wallets, car consoles and random drawers for forgotten cash or change. (Target: $5 – $10)
I don’t think I’ve just cleaned my wallet and I won’t find much. But I browsed the drawers beside the bed, all the shelves in the closet and a bunch of other random places (Jesse is known for hiding changes in strange places!), and guess how much I thought of…
$15.25! ! !
I haven’t even checked the car yet because Jesse brought the kids out of some errands. So who knows? I might find more there!
The goal is to find $5 to $10 today, so I was happy to find more than $15 to start the challenge. You can track your savings on the chart I included in the 14-day free plan!
