Hopefully I don't have to go to the bank to make it more enjoyable

Great idea.

I’m going to do this. I will tally my totals at the end of the month and then add the money to an empty popcorn tin. Has to be kept out of sight, in my basement, or else I’ll dip into it when I need quick cash.

I think I will do this as well. Not so much to motivate myself but seeing the jar fill up would be good. I would do this more to force myself to do workouts I might dread. Maybe even throw in an extra dollar if say I walk outside when the temperature is in the teens or something like that.

I like this idea!

What do you use the money for? Do you invest it in fitness?

I like this idea! I work 2 jobs, and at one of them I get cash tip-out on top of hourly pay, so I could just replace the pieces of paper with ones or fives as I get them

Usually, I use it for fitness-related items. This year, I bought a language learning app.

(Wait a minute, I would think that trying to learn Japanese would count as a brain workout. I get brain DOMS!)

What a great idea! I'm going to start today - and when I get enough money I'll buy the Cathe Lite bundle or maybe the new step workouts.

I haven't done this before but when I was mulling this over I was thinking it would be something good for me or fun. Now it COULD be fitness related...but may be something else entirely.

I like the idea of bonuses too. Might do that for adding more stretching and pilates workouts during the week.

I really like this idea. My daughter and I agreed to a daily chore for her and we settled on a payment of $1/day. So I'm going to have $1's handy. So, I'll just make sure I have enough to pay both of us.
