While I’m thinking about it, do you have trouble $aving money the$e day$?  Me too. 

 

It $eem$ no $ooner I have managed to collect $everal hundred $$$, that the water heater goe$.  Now I am $ure there are $ome who could figure out a way to fix it but that ju$t doe$n’t happen in our hou$e.  Have you priced the$e bugger$ lately?  They come in about every $ize from 15 gal$ to 200 gal$ to energy efficient heating only a$ you u$e it, to mon$tro$itie$ that would never fit down our tiny little $tairca$e, too the very $mall and incon$picuou$ tank$.

$o here i$ my take on the$e nece$$ary e$$ential$ to every day living.  Create a re$erve of ca$h $ay $250 to $500.  $ave thi$ amount and don’t put it in the bank.  Put it in place that i$ difficult to get to, protected from inclement weather, and won’t get burned up if the hou$e burn$ down.  $ay maybe a metal box (fireproof – may co$t around $50.00 for a $mall one) put your $10, $20, and $50’$ totaling $500 and take it out$ide to your $hed out back climb up the ladder and put it a$ far back $o you can’t $ee it unle$$ you climb back up there again.

 
Right after you do thi$, tell your$elf I don’t need that ca$h. Forget about it!  Get on with the day, week or month and granted not to long after you’ve forgotten about it, the car will need new tire$, your refrigerator will need a new motor, the wa$her will need a new drum, you name it $omething i$ going to make you go back out $ide climb up the ladder $tretch to reach that little metal box.  But when you get to it and open it up the $500 ha$ grown to $1000.   

How, you a$k?  Becau$e when you weren’t thinking about it and you were $leep walking you went out to that $hed in you back yard, climbed up the ladder, felt around for that cold metal box and $ecretly $ta$hed a little windfall from la$t week$ pay check.  That’$ right! $ubcon$ciou$ly you remembered to $ave a little for tho$e unexpected whatnot$ that me$$ up everybody’$ vacation$.  But not you! Now go get that metal box and $tart hiding ca$h in it today!!!

                                            You know tho$e little piggy bank$ we all had a$ kid$?  Well they $till work ju$t a$ good a$ alway$ for $aving your loo$e change.  Loo$e change can add up and before you know it you have another pile of ca$h you didn't have the other day.  $o empty your pocket$ directly into that little piggy bank, boat bank, $hoe bank, $ock bank when you get home and watch your money grow.
