Its just like those little savings accounts that moms open for their kids ... vacation funds or Christmas funds.

we used to put in like 3 dollars a week into our little booklets hehehe

and then Dec 1 - you pulled it all out and had money to buy Christmas gifts

Imagine THAT... but instead - you're putting aside Steem into ONE big joint account (where your OWN records are kept - so you know exactly how much you have) but.... this big account will grow and then give you upvotes daily! :)

and also - if you enter the weekly draw by depositing at least 10 steem - you get a chance at winning another $5 towards your account (for the end when you arrive at the Meetup!)

its like a win win win win win! :)
