  • A sinking fund for Christmas. Yep! That’s right, I said it. Christmas. It’s just under 5 months away which means if you want to spend $500 on Christmas you can save that with just $100 per month. Want to budget $1,000? Save $200 per month. Want to spend $2,000? Ask yourself why. Whatever you want to save, putting it into a high yield savings account separate from your regular checking account keeps you from spending it early. Right now CIT Bank’s Savings Connect account is offering 1.35% APY. Head to frugalfriendspodcast.com/CIT to start your Christmas sinking fund.

What We Always Wear and Never Wear (but people say should be in a capsule)

You’d always find athletic wear on Jen’s wardrobe but never heels and jewelry! For Jill, it would be scarf and cardigans no matter what the season is. You won’t see any jewelry or sunglasses though!

I just paid off my car loan 19 months early and saved hundreds in interest.

Last year I saved my bonus and continued to save to build a good emergency fund. This year’s bonus paid off my car loan with some left over for other savings goals. 💪🏻
