BHAG: We Have Lift-Off
We’ve been without power for almost 24 hours. Again!!! What a pain!
Anyway, on with todays post, albeit belatedly.
Here is my first weeks update on my BHAG progress:
1. Emailcash Cheque - $30.00
2. Interest on some long term savings we have (hadn’t been allocated anywhere else so I decided to “claim” it). Thanks Kin for the suggestion. - $239.68
3. Since I was so limited in what I could do today without power, I decided to clean out the top drawer of my bedside cupboard. It accumulates all kinds of bits and pieces plus coins etc that get swept into the drawer when I’m cleaning the top of the drawers. Found $100 in notes I’d shoved in there for one reason or another (and can no longer remember why) as well as some coins that have been added to my tin. Counting the $100 in the tally at the moment but not the coins as they’ll get counted all together later in the piece. - $100.00
Total $369.68
Not too bad for the first week!

Loose money lying around to get swept into drawers? My “dear old mum” (sour old thing) would be horrified! Money should always be safely locked away, you never know when a burglar will strike………..
Nice that you found $100 though. I once found a $50 in the pocket of a jacket I hadn’t worn for almost a year.
LOL River - it would cost most people more than $100 in fuel to get here if they wanted to steal my shrapnel. My mum would shake her head and say we must be rich if we can afford to have money sitting around like that. *sigh*
I wish I had $100 sitting around in a draw
Congrats on the lucky find!
I do have $100 sitting around in a drawer. It’s my backup money when the kids need small denominations etc. I don’t usually have cash in my purse, so it’s there as back up.
Congratulations on a great start! Plus, that’s like, 2 weeks worth of savings in one week! I know you’re not going to get that every week, but it’s a fantastic start.
Are you on pureprofile?
No fun to be without power! Lucky you to find all that spare change throughout your house! One of my little ideas to save cash is to never spend it. I only always use paper money. I store all loose change in a special container until Christmas. That’s when the grandangels get to sit on the floor and divide it equally among them. A huge lesson in math, lots of fun and laughter, and a great haul to spend on stuff.
Blessings!
Emailcash? Why haven’t I heard about this before, and what exactly do you have to do to get money from them?
Jason - yeah, well it’s only going to happen once.
Kin - I was happy with it for a start. Didn’t expect to do nearly that well. I am on pureprofile but thanks for thinking of me. I just need to make more of a habit of checking it daily. It’s amazing what having a reason for those few dollars does to my motivation to get around to it.
Karin - that is amazing and very generous!
Richard - it’s a survey/web clicks/shopping reward type site. It takes a while but the small bits do add up. If you click on my link you can find out more about how it works (and if you sign up they give me bonus points!!!).
Thanks Lightening… just clicked through now. Shows my desperation
