Lux's Saturday Bank Run History

8/16/08-Here's where I'm going to post my history of the small bank runs I used to make before I got started on the $20 Challenge. This is so I can take it off my sidebar. For those who werent' with us back in the day - I used to go EVERY Saturday morning with my kids and we would all make small deposits of whatever change we could round up into our individual savings accounts. As you can see it does add up over time AND it was helpful in teaching my kids the savings habit!

DO NOT LET bank tellers intimidate you when you want to deposit small amounts like $1.32! It's their job and you are giving them something to do so they can stay gainfully employed! They won't be laughing at you when you're like ImaSaver with big buckaroos in your accounts. Sooner or later they might even catch the savings bug from you!
