2008 Dollar a Day Results!

January 7, 2009 By Megan Smith

Throughout 2008, I put $1 a day into a high yield savings account.  Well, in theory.  In practice, I transferred the funds once a month.  In 366 days, my account is now at…

$371.22! 

Okay, so it’s only an extra $5.22 in interest.  But it was an easy way to put away close to $400.  I barely missed that $1 a day.  I’ve decided to keep it up for 2009 and keep the money in HSBC, though I seriously considered moving it to ING Direct, where I have my other online accounts.  For now, however, nothing changes.  I’m still going to save an easy $1 a day.

Anyone want to join me in this saving plan?

    Hi I just started something like this. I use ING so I created a sub account and am transferring $7 every Sunday to my Dollar A Day Account which is a savings account.

    Good job.

    Look at you! I unfort. quit after a good 4-5 months, but the idea still fascinates the hell outta me 🙂

    I’m still putting aside random dollars every week, but just can’t get back into the rhythm of a definite # per day…maybe i’ll try again for this year though?

    Sounds like a great idea. $365 doesn’t seem like a lot of money, but it’s better having that money in a savings account than spending it elsewhere. And putting in $1 a day doesn’t seem that bad. I’m going to create a new savings account on top of my other savings and do this. Great idea! Thanks.
