Ok, I've been struggling with this one. I read in someone's post that the $20 challenge was saving money that you normally wouldn't have earned, and since I'm a sahm I don't earn much. I do teach an exercise class four days per week and earn a little from that. So I won't count that money or the money I get from my change jar (just cashed it in a couple of weeks ago for $248!).
But I've decided that I will count the money I save when choosing not to eat out (since that's such a sacrifice). The money I accumulate is going to my "Why'd you go and do something stupid like that" credit card with a balance of a little over $5000. I'll post the exact balance and the story behind it later.
I've decided I might try selling a few things on eBay, after I clean out the kids closets before school if there's anything worth selling.
So my balance for the challenge right now is $0, but hopefully it will grow and I'm going to brainstorm tonight for more ideas.
Any advice??

any checks that come unexpectly go to the challenge as does all the money from my change jar. I am going to have a garage sale when it is cooler. Some make things and sell them and some sell on e bay. some collect cans. There are lots of things you can think of!
