| Another thing I like to do is to cash any kind of extra money that comes into the house: rebate checks, refunds, bonus checks and then stash the money in an envelope earmarked for something special: like a vacation. In 6 or 7 months time I'm always surprised at how much "found" money I've accumulated. (if I can 'forget' about it and keep my hands off it!) |

| I do the same thing. I clean a drawer in my room and I find money stashed away in an envelope marked "rainy day fund" then I put more money in there and hide it in a different place. I haven't counted it in some time but I know I will have to clean my room again to find it! |

| We're using all our "extras" for our upcoming Disney trip. I've found if I convert the extra money into Disney Dollars it keeps me from using it to buy a pizza or something. Because it's ONLY good at Disney. |

| It seems to always be easier when there's a goal in mind- like a vacation or a new purchase. I love hearing everyone's tips! |

An interesting idea! If you did actually need the money (unforseen expenses, etc.) could you redeem the Disney money for cash? Or is it gone once you convert it? |
