Save thousands of dollars starting with just one $5 bill

When I was growing up, I remember saving spare change in a giant crayon bank, which was basically a piggy bank shaped like a crayon rather than a pig.
I recently found out that all of these years later, my parents continue to use that bank to set aside money.
My mom told me that one year she deposited $220 worth of coins into the crayon bank, but my stepfather has now taken it to the next level — saving dollar bills as well.
So I’ve decided to follow their lead with the $5 and Change Savings Challenge!
Unlike many of the other savings challenges floating around on social media, this one doesn’t require you to start on a specific date or save a particular amount each week.
All I’m suggesting is that you avoid spending the $5 bills that end up in your wallet. Instead, whenever you come across a $5 bill, put it in your piggy bank along with your spare change.
I realize that this challenge is not new. Versions of it are already really popular with people who receive cash tips as part of their compensation — servers, housekeepers, cab drivers, etc.
In fact, I first heard about this simple trick when I was a 16-year-old college student waiting tables at a diner.
At the end of our shift, the servers would take their stacks of $1 and $5 bills to the manager to exchange them for $20s, but one waitress never joined us.
That server told me she set aside $1 and $5 bills for her savings and only spent the larger bills. Pretty smart!
How much can you really save using this method? Blogger Marie Franklin made a game out of saving every $5 bill about 13 years ago and says she has socked away more than $40,000 since then.

Start your own business and sit back and collect the spoils.
