March was great for our Piggy Dippin' challenge progress but was unique because it was tax refund time…so that obviously won't happen again for April.

Curious about Piggy Dippin'? Here's a bit more detail…

Recap of February 2024:

The first month for the Piggy Dippin' Challenge was off to a good start with a 9–5 spot bonus, which was all put into the Piggy fund ($2,403).

Here's the breakdown for March 2024:

We continued to keep our challenge at the forefront of our minds early in March, which was great for our tax refund! We decided to Piggy it all instead of spending any of it.

We also "found" some additional money from our February budget and side income to add. Bit by bit we'll make the goal!

$250 — Feb budget leftover

$100 — side income contribution

$10,000 — tax refund

$10,350 — March total for the Piggy!

Thoughts for April 2024:

I receive my annual bonus in April, so hopefully there will be some leftover for the Piggy. We barely made our March budget, so there won't be any extra from that or the side income (since I closed one business and started the next).

Overall Challenge Status:

Time left — 21 months

Amount left — $267,247
