Create “Free Money” In your budget

I love free money, which I can designate for use however I see fit. By my own personal definition “free money” is money that is not needed or included in my current budget. I especially like money that is earned outside of my primary income.  For the most part right now this comes from blogging, and is very minimal. But even at $10 per month, I like thinking of this extra-money fund as a completely separate entity. It may never make me a millionaire, but I like to think about segregating it, perhaps in a separate ING sub-account or (eventually) mutual fund that perhaps could grow. Maybe I’ll save it for a while and do something nice for my wife or kiddos (when they arrive). Maybe I’ll use it towards the kids college fund, since I’m having a hard time finding the money to fund their college fund in their budget. The options are endless, but it gives me an opportunity to dream and plan and use my brain, which are all good things!
