Since I last updated, I've added $9.00 to my vacation fund, because I...
earned $0.79 from quickrewards...
earned $0 in Isay rewards...
earned $8.11 in credit card rewards...
earned $0 cash back through Zweet...
earned $0 cash back through Caddle...
earned $0 cash back through my Checkout 51...
added $0.10 in the vacation jar...
added $0 to my vacation account...
added $0 to my Paypal account...
So the new totals are:
$18.61 in Quickrewards...
$38.55 in Isay Rewards...
$26.85 in Credit Card Rewards...
$7.75 in my Zweet Account...
$41.15 in my Caddle Account...
$28.95 in my Checkout 51 Account...
$24.75 in the Vacation Jar...
$75.00 in the vacation account...
$0 in my Paypal Account...
For a Grand Total of $261.61!!
Goal $1335
In addition, I have...
1318 Esso Extra points... (1800 points = $10 in free rewards)
$28.71 in USD (left over from our last trip Disney trip)
I don't know why the credit frequency for my credit card rewards has changed but it definitely has. I used to have something go through so my totals would change a little bit daily but now it seems to come in larger chunks instead where there will be nothing for three days and then big additions for three days. Weird. It's not a problem, just something I noticed.
Anyway, DS came home today (he's 13) and told me he was rich! He slapped two nickels down on the table in front of me and said that he had found them on his way home from school. Then he walked away.
It took me right back to when he was a four year old. We had taken the kids to Daytona Beach, Port Canaveral, Disney World and then gone on a little Bahamian cruise. It was our first big family vacation (DD was nearing six at that point) and we stayed off site, has six day base passes and had a total BLAST!! Before we went, DH was adamant that Disney World was a one-and-done situation but on the long drive home, he was already taking that back!!
We'd been home about a week or so when my little man comes out of his bedroom and asks me for a container or jar. I asked him what he wanted it for and he held up some change (he didn't get an allowance yet at that point, DH and I just gave him our spare change each week for his piggy bank) and told me he wanted a Disney jar so we could start saving for the next trip. I teared up a little, not gonna lie and found him something. He decorated it and put his money in it and then told DD and DH when they got home from school/work that they could add anything they wanted to the jar to help save for Disney.
We've had a (vacation) change jar going ever since and it's all thanks to him!
