The Free Money Habit

This morning I checked my bank accounts and I came across a transaction I have never seen before, interest earned! That's right, my savings account earned $1.15 for the month of January. I can not remember the last time a bank paid me money. In fact this may be the first time I've welcomed any cash exchange directly with the bank (it's usually a fee).

Is one dollar and some change going to radically accelerate my monetary goal for the year? Absolutely. The importance of this isn't so much physical as it is psychological. Small results like this are welcome proof of changes I've made in order to reach bigger, broader objectives i.e. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Results like this help feed the habit. The habit of saving money, and in this case, earning and saving are happening in parallel. Win Win.

What small financial wins have you had lately?
