On Transaction #2, you say to pay with the $1.00 RR from Trans #1, but you earned $3, so your OOP i s$2.49, with the Grand Total OOP at $4.49 total (not $6.49).
Thanks for the $5 Challenge! What a fantastic idea!
Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out, Rachel. I actually made a mistake, it should have said $1.00 on transaction #1. So my math was right for #2, just had the RR wrong. Sorry for the confusion and thanks so much for commenting!
