The Lincoln Project

At the beginning of last year, I was perusing Pinterest (I'm pretty sure it was) and came across "The Lincoln Project". Very simple. Save every $5 bill you get. Hold onto it, put it away. At the end of the year, you have a good little savings! I thought, I can do this. I can SO do this. Being a massage therapist, I get cash tips. And I figured this would be fun. I started stashing away any $5 that would circulate into my hands. When you think about it, $5 is a tiny bit. If I got a 5 and some 1's, I'd stick the 1's in there also. So after a year of saving nearly every five dollar bill, I counted my Lincoln Project envelope. FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS! It definitely adds up. Those little $5 bills, gave me a $500 balance. What will I do with it? I dunno. I want to go on a trip.

I suggest everyone try The Lincoln Project. It's exciting, and then just becomes habit. I'll definitely be doing it again this year.
