It has always been tough for me to pay bills on time. I’m just A.D.D. and it’s taken a long time – and will always be a challenge. On the other hand, I’m a creative genius!!!

How I did it: It's sort of nerdy, but it WORKED for me...Every time the ATM gives me a brand new bill or bills (in perfect condition, consecutive serial number order is best). I stick them in a plastic holder, then throw them in a shoe box. For some reason, my collection makes it easy to save. In the plastic holders it doesn't burn a hole in my pocket. I live as-if I'm broke, but have several months expenses saved (emergency fund) and plan to use … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I helped one friend do home repair (drywall - yuck) and I took dog treats - which led to meeting a woman that I've been dating for a month. It took a couple of weekends - but I enjoyed reconnecting with old friends. Read how I did it…
