This is exactly what I've been doing lately. At paycheck time I put a specific amount into savings ("pay self first"), but then at the end of the month ANYTHING that's left in the checking account, no matter how dinky, gets shipped off to Vanguard, too. On January 31 it was $103. Dunno how long it'll take to get rich as Croesus at this rate...but on January 31 I was $103 closer than on January 30. :-) How neat!

Of course, I never called it that! Great name! I gave up all coffee and snacks and made $50 to invest in my sharebuilder account at ING. I had another $150 from the sharebuilder promos and opening a chase freedom charge card I bought $200 of NLY. The market is down 300 points right now, but NLY is up 0.86. I'm patting myself on the back on this one! Needless to say, it doesn't always work out this way!.

And, happy to see your post on using snowflaking for investments. This is one the best ways to get into the habit of saving and investing money. I am amazed at how often people are daunted by being able to save money- it's often because they don't think about it in terms of small, consistent, do-able steps. And, when it is money that you did not expect to have, hard to make excuses! Madison, glad to see others will be saving/investing their refund.
