You start with $20 and you add to it anyway you can think of. Some sell things on e bay.
I take any extra checks that come in and add to my challenge. I do surveys on line.
I pay myself $1 for every mile I walk or every 20 flights of stairs I do in a day.
I save all the money I get from using coupons or my store card.
I budget $160 a month for electric bill. If it is less, the rest of that money goes into my challenge fund.
If my husband gets a bonus, I save that.
I pay myself $1 for a no gas used day.
I pay myself everytime I eat dinner at home and not "out"
There are dozens of ways to save and anything you want to do it fine. I have saved over $11,000 this year.
Here is Jeffrey's post explaining the $20 Challenge. Although it was for 2006, it certainly applies to 2007 as well:
