Use A Cash Back Credit Card

I know many preach against using credit cards but if you’re smart about it you can really use this to your advantage and make some good money that you can put toward your savings goal.

We use our Chase Freedom credit card on everything because the more money you spend the more cashback you receive.

Please note: We pay our monthly statement off in full each month to avoid paying interest, that’s the only way this works. Please don’t spend money if you can’t afford it.

We are currently at $654.15 this year, this is a great form of passive income.

If you sign up for the Chase Freedom Credit card as we did you get a $150 bonus if you spend $500 within the first 3 months. That should be easy to do if you use it on everything like us.

You can put the $150 + however much you’ll have in cash back rewards toward your savings goal.

Saving Tips:

Automate Your Savings

Money-Saving Challenges can be fun and motivating in the beginning but over time that enthusiasm fades and “life” can get in the way and you may forget or not want to transfer your funds to your savings account (I get it).

Try adding a savings account at your workplace and have your funds directly deposited into your savings before you even see it. I opened a high-yield savings account with Capital One. It has an Annual Percentage Yield of 3.30%.

Its a smart and easy way to make money off the money you’re saving, risk free.

Quick Question: Are you trying to lose weight?

Random, I know but it’s worth mentioning because you could possibly scrap this challenge and work towards losing weight and still make $10,000.

I recently interviewed Anastasia who won $10,000 for losing 41 lbs.

Anastasia wanted to lose 41 lbs. in 18 months. She bet $167 per month (for 18 months) which actually came out to the amount she would spend dining out each month. She received the $3,006 she invested along with the $6,994 profit from HealthyWage.

HealthyWage is a company supported by the Government to incentivize people to lose weight by putting their own money at risk with the potential to earn up to $10,000. It’s the ultimate losing weight challenge.

It works like this:

Start with the HealthyWage Prize Calculator. Enter how much weight you want to lose, the timeframe to lose it, and how much you want to bet each month for that period.
The calculator determines your prize amount, up to $10,000. You can play around with the calculator until you get your desired prize amount.
Sign up and agree to pay the monthly amount for the duration of the challenge.
Achieve your weight-loss goal, and win your prize!
