I’ve been saving my $5 bills for about 10 years. I took my family on a Disney cruise in 2020 and we’re leaving for Hawaii at the end of march with our $5 trip. 10/10 recommend!

I started this several years ago [ I never could save any money ] well the first time I did this I saved 5,600 dollars in five dollar bills and purchased a 1931 ford that I always wanted but couldn’t afford, I’ve still got the car and now have another 3,500 dollars for something not sure what but when I see it I’ll be ready with cash in hand This works real easy for me and it doesn’t hurt P.S. When I purchased the Ford my wife said we can’t afford that so I showed her my five dollar collection [and she said go for it ] wife approved now we cruise around in style

I’ve always saved change but, after seeing the $5.00 plan on a daily talk show, I decided to give it a try. This was about 2 months ago. My eyes sparkle every time I get a 5 dollar bill in my hands. If I find a 20.00 or a 10 in my purse that I didn’t know was there, I throw that in too. Ones always go in as well.
They say you should have, at least, 2 months wages put away for a rainy day fund so, that’s the first thing I’m saving for.

I occasionally buy scratch off lottery tickets and, if I win, I put the original investment back in my purse and the remained goes in my jar. To date, I’ve saved over $200.00. We don’t make a lot of money but, this is so doable!

I started doing this saving plan four weeks ago. Every Monday when I get paid. I automatically transfer $5.00 to an online savings account that offers 1% interest. I’m saving my loose change and $1.00 in a jar. I also have a Acorns Account that round ups my spare change on every purchase I make from my checking account. I also just started a 26 week plan by adding money into it weekly until I reach $1,000. I might do the one for $5,000 instead. Every little bit counts.

I changed the $1 savings to $5 savings. My husband and I enjoy checking off the weeks on the calendar. So far we have each saved on $450.00. I started the 52 week with a dollar for myself and remarked to him how easy it was to save. I then suggested to save five dollars and it has begun a challenge for us as a couple. At the end of the year we will have close to $7000. A nice little nest egg.

I saw this plan on a tv show a few days ago. I have been looking into starting it. Thanks for letting me know how it works. I started it today.
