Our family has a trip planned in April to go up north and visit Maine for the first time! My mom decided that she wanted all of us as a family to start saving up for the trip. Soooooo, my mom decided that we are not allowed to spend five dollar bills, EVER!!!!! Instead, they are to go in the mason jar to spend when we go away. Here is a picture to show you how we are doing so far...


The banned five dollar bill...








"The Jar"




















P.S.-Just a quick funny story...The other night I went to go teach my student piano lessons. At the end of the lesson her mother came up to me to pay me...SHE PAID ME TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS IN FIVE DOLLAR BILLS!!!! When I realized what she had done, I chuckled to myself knowing where these bills were going to end up! Oh the joys of agreeing to participate in the fun! :)

Proverbs 23:5 "...for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven."

What a great idea! You'll have plenty of spending money by then.
