UPDATED TO ADD: Faithful reader Lisa asked for some clarification on the Dollar a Day. Here's my best explanation...sorry I am so wordy. "Yes, for instance, last night we got gas in the car and the total came to $20.41. So to us, it really totalled $25.00 because the remaining $4.59 went into our "Dollar Jar" (which is actually a glass lantern but you get the idea).
We've also taken it a step further and for any checks we write, we round up to the next $5 increment and write a check to the Dollar Jar. We saved over $9 that way. We are actually saving our coin change for a big family trip when I graduate college so the $58 did not include any coin change."

Has anyone else joined me on the Dollar a Day challenge? How is it going?
Today our loan payment was due so we emptied our stash and ended up with an extra $58 to add to our payment! Praise the Lord from whom ALL blessings flow!
