I was on Twitter when I came across this post from DivorcedDadFrugalDad.com, @dvrcddadfrgldad: Your Spare Change "Tips" Jar - http://ow.ly/4MNCQ.
I love the idea of giving yourself tips. One of my little savings tricks is to not use the change in my wallet. When I go to pay I make myself break a bill. I hate breaking a bill, especially for something small. Often I would rather skip the purchase than break a $5, $10 or $20. If I do then any coins that I get back are off limits. Once a week I put that change into my "Tip Jar". I am always amazed at how much I can collect, often between $5 and $10 dollars. This is my fun money. When I had consumer debt I would use this to make an extra payment at the end of the month.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
