You haven't heard me say much about the Tuesday Challenge, something I personally started a little over two years ago (October 2023 to be exact) recently. And in fact, I only update it, or revisit it every once in a while.
Why bore you with it, right? You all, by now, know what it is and how it works. If not, I would be happy to explain it again.
Now, where has it changed? Well, after year one I added $1 to every Tuesday date. And this month, now rolling into year 3, I added $2 to every Tuesday date.
I also started, a while back, adding an interest payment of 10% to the first Tuesday of each month based on the total from the month prior. These ideas have helped me to grow my envelope even faster.
The idea is, once you are "in the habit," adding a few more dollars to "the challenge" is not all that hard to do, so why not do it?
Currently the balance stands at $1,919. Not anything to afford me the opportunity to put a down payment on a yacht or anything. But it is a great illustration of how far just a few dollars saved actually goes and what it can turn into.
How much is in your envelope?

I almost forgot about this. I personally haven't done it, but I do use savings accounts and save where I can. They've come in handy in a pinch. Although, the idea of savings is not to spend unless you really HAVE to. I'm glad you've saved so much in what did you say, three years?
