The $5 Rule That Quietly Pays for a Whole Christmas

One small rule paid for Linda's whole Christmas: every $5 bill that lands in her hands goes into an old cookie tin. We walk through the seven steps, from choosing the five and moving the tin into its own savings account, to the digital version for people who never carry cash, found money, real month-by-month numbers, the one mistake that nearly cost her half the tin, and how she splits $468 into five envelopes in December. It works even if you start in the fall. Sources: Christmas club savings accounts (background): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christm...
