After reading a post on the Dave Ramsey forum,I decided to keep track of all of my snowflakes during 2012. Over the past year my grand total is $10,606.99!!! I can't believe that I saved an additional $10K just by keep track of those small amounts that we take for granted. Keep in mind this isn't $10K from money I've earned or worked for but from things like rebates, returns,selling stuff, gifts, etc... I must admit that $6500 of it was from a back payment that I got from the VA for my retirement from the military but even if you back that out that's still over $4000 in snowflakes.
I share this with you as we enter the New Year to encourage you to save those small amounts and watch them add up over time. Small snowflakes do indeed turn into Snowballs with time. Here's to more Snowflaking in 2013!!!
A Year of Snowflakes
