As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it. We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles. The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic. My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were:
Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes.
Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes.
Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes.
So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00
Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00.
I have decided to only do a puzzle on the weekdays, but not the weekends for this challenge. Why? Being honest, there are some days/some weeks, like end of the month that get a bit overwhelming. Only doing a puzzle 5 days per week, gives me an opportunity to do one on the weekend if the week has just been really overwhelming, as this past week was for me. Not that I was asked, but there were some long hours put in and I was so done by the time my boss suggested I leave on Friday.
Interested in seeing this on video? Here's the video link to YouTube.
I am open to other savings challenge suggestions, but I don't want to have to invest a lot right now in order to do them. This may also morph into what we can save money on. It's definitely a work in progress.
Have a great day friends!
Love how you turned your savings challenge into a wee little fun game too! :-)
