A Concentration...A CHALLENGE!!

I've decided that this is where I will post ideas on how to save money for summer missions until this summer when I may change my focus more toward music. I'm going to try to post at least one $ saving tip everyday. I am challenging myself and would like to challenge you to also save your money in a jar, piggy bank, cup, tin can, hand embroidered bag, Walmart sack, or bottle to be put toward sending college students on mission throughout the world!! I'm saving in a hot pink piggy bank with rad sunglasses. His name is Grover! I'll add a picture later. Anyway, I decided to do this because my boyfriend along with several other people at my church are trying to raise around $30,000 to go all over the world this summer!! (mostly to Kazakhstan though) Knowing what it's like to try and raise funds for summer missions, I'm trying to help out! It's a great cause(spreading the gospel) and they are amazing people who I know will not only benefit much from the experience but will change others' lives in the process. JOIN ME!! LET'S RAISE MONEY TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL! Also, I think these tips will actually just help in general with saving money in a time of financial woe. With all that being said, here are a few tips to get started!

#1: share your leftover cereal milk with roommates or significant others, but remember to drink responsibly! Your milk will go a little further and you can add that extra gallon's worth of money (probably around $3) into Grover!

#2: get up and go to bed with the sun!

You'll feel better, get more done in a day, it's Biblical, and it will save you some electricity! Also, lamps use less electricity and can add a much homier feel to your house (I think)

#3: after you've spent some cash, there's usually a ton of change all over the place. Empty all your change into your Grover every night. It can really add up in the long run.
