Want to save some greenbacks?

A friend of mine showed me this very easy way to save some dollars. Here is what you do:

First Week: Get a business envelope and put a one-dollar bill in it.

Second Week: Put 2 one-dollar bills in the envelope. Now you have 3 dollars.

Third Week: Put 3 one-dollar bills in the envelope. Now you have 6 dollars.

I’m sure you can see where this going, but it adds up. Two conditions: you must commit to do this for one whole year and you can’t skip a single week!

Fourth Week: Put 4 one-dollar bills in the envelope. Now you have 10 dollars.

Fifth Week: Put in $5…now you have $15.00.

Sixth Week: Put in $6…now you have $21.00.

Seventh Week: $7.00…now you have $28.00.

Continue to do this so that at the end of 52 weeks you have put $52 away. How much will you then have in the envelope at the end of the year? How about $1,379.00!

Do not ‘try’ to do this…just do it!!!
