Every little bit we set aside adds up, sometimes in surprising amounts. The $5 savings plan is one of a few methods you could use to save a little more money over the course of the year, and its randomness makes it somewhat enjoyable.

Whenever a $5 bill comes into your possession, put it aside into a special jar or envelope. By the end of the year, you might be surprised by how many $5 bills you’ll have saved. The fund could be used for buying holiday gifts at the end of the year, a vacation fund, or just extra savings.
