I’m at $57.92 stashed in my investment account so far. from 2 paychecks.
an idea hit me just now
Let’s say that once I get to $100, or more, I invest that in something. doesn’t matter what.
the goal being to get my $100 back in that account ASAP.
then use that $100 to invest in something else.
the point is to always be seeing what I can do with $100 at a time to make more.
the point being that any time that investment account reaches $100, I MUST invest it in something with the aim of getting a return. and making a challenge of it. To see how quickly I can get back to $100 again for the next investment.
I’d still be putting in my 3%-10% of each paycheck for the investment account. but over time, I’d eventually be able (if I choose) to dwindle that back as the investments would be replenishing the account and cover the $100 minimum.
I’d eventually have to up the ante, since when I’m at a certain level of finances, $100 won’t feel like much anymore.
