I was talking to a friend about money, and for some reason they kept talking about some lake.

They kept saying “There’s no lake. There’s no lake.”

What?

Ohhhhh, Snowflake. You mean saving small amounts of money until you have enough to build a glacier or something.

ugh.

Hey, they could’ve been talking about the lake effect.

Or, it appears that, at 49, I have the hearing of a 70 year old.

Deaf as——–>

Anyway, I’m living proof, that flake by flake, those flakes really add up.

My only debt is my mortgage, so right now the money goes towards paying off the mortgage principal, as well as building up my emergency fund.

It takes a bit of effort, but there’s opportunity everywhere. And it’s much more fun then getting a part time job!

Here’s the tally of what I’ve made so far this year:

Snowflake Savings from Jan 1st - May 17th, 2008

That’s $288.44 per month. Extra.

Just another success story about the powers of snowflaking.
