I’m taking a SHORT break from using technology. I use the computer every day at work and for blogging. I am exhausted. I won’t be tweeting, on Facebook, or answering emails for the next few days. All blog comments will “Go Live” on January 1, 2014
*Short post*
Saving for Travel (UK) and Laura from Move to Portugal are doing a “Sealed Pot challenge.” Basically, they have a sealed container that they are using to save for a goal. They will be saving for a year and cashing out the money the first week of December 2014. I think this is a super easy and great challenge that all of us can participate in. I have a lovely porcelain piggy bank named Mr. Piggy. I will be filling him with cash until he can’t “eat” anymore. Then, I will find another object that I can use to save money.
So here is how it works
- Decide what you’re saving for.
- Decide an amount of money that you’re aiming for
- Save for a YEAR ! From today until the first or second week of December.
- Don’t cash in your savings.
- Don’t forget to add bills to your sealed pot/piggy bank. That’s from me!
If you’re going to join in please let me know so that I can give you a shout-out!!
Here are my details:
- I’m saving for my big 2015 goal. Will keep it to myself for now.
- I am hoping to save more than $1000!
- I will have to resist the urge to cash in the change mid-year 🙂 I’m in the habit of doing that, even when I don’t need the money. I just get excited to see what I’ve saved.
Am looking forward to doing this easy challenge.
What are you details? What are you saving for and how much?

Yay for more challengers! You should let Saving for Travel know you’re joining in the sealed pot challenge – she keeps a big list :0)
I am so addicted to challenges. I’m actually doing a couple of other ones that I won’t mention until the end of January.
