Added $45.13 to my fund today because I...
earned $2.15 from quickrewards... (They actually cut me off...saying I've exceeded my survey limit for the moment.
)
earned $0.90 from isay (no...not the one I was waiting for...a new one I did late last night)
earned $1.59 in credit card rewards...
earned $0.44 in credit card rewards...
found a nickel when getting gasoline and tossed that into the change jar...
and added $40.00 to the bank account ($25 groceries plus $15 gasoline)!!
So the new totals are:
$45.90 in rewards dollars for a survey site (which I will cashout to paypal)
$70.74 in quickrewards (which I will use to buy Disney gift cards)
$48.17 in credit card rewards (which I will use for groceries, freeing up the cash)
$5.64 in cc rewards (which I will use for groceries, freeing up the cash)
$47.75 in the change jar
$210.00 in the account
$1.05 american cash
...for a GRAND TOTAL of $429.25!!
I was doing this completely on the quiet from DH (who is NOT a Disney fanatic) but I let him read my financial goals for 2014 and "saving for Disney using found money" was an entry on it.
He wanted to know what found money was so I explained. He sort of scoffed, thinking it would take me forever to save up enough to go back so it's going to be quite a shock for him, I think when I reveal how I've nickeled and dimed myself enough for us to vacation there next winter.
