When it comes to being a server, I often walk out of my shift at the end of the night with cash rather than seeing it through a direct deposit. Sometimes, it consists of various bills and other times it could be mostly twenties, it just depends on how I was able to break it down that night, and how I was tipped by my guests. Almost always, however, I have at least one five dollar bill.

Recently, I have decided that rather than depositing these bills with the rest of my money, I will do The $5 Savings Challenge. In short, the person participating in said challenge would put away, or save every single five dollar bill that came into their possession and let me tell you — sometimes it's easy, and other times it sucks. Specifically, last week when half of the money I made in one night was half made up of five dollar bills.
