Saving is a big deal for me. So big, in fact, that it hardly ever happens. I’ve tried hiding envelopes. I’ve tried opening seperate accounts. I’ve even tried sitting home and simply not spending anything.
Until I get the craving for something and buy a big ticket item.
However, I’ve found the solution. I call it my Wine Banking System. How does this work? Easy peasy. I go out and buy a bottle of wine, preferrably with a clear rather than green glass. And once a week (usually Sunday)I will pop in a rolled $20, making sure to stuff it down deep so I’m not able to reach it even with chop sticks.
This is how I now save money. While I do have the option for a deferred compensation plan – the wine bottle money is still my second faithful savings plan.
