I know that many of us struggle to save throughout the year. Try this challenge to save week by week and let me know how you are doing. I will re-post this every couple of weeks to see how you are doing.

Can’t wait to start. Will be doing it every Friday!
I will also be doing it, I will be using part of the money for Christmas and put the rest away into savings. We can help motivate each other!
I started tonight.
I started yesterday. I made my husband start too. I also printed out the pic so I can mark off each week
I am starting this today and I will do it every Friday. This is a great idea and I would to challenge myself and complete a task like this one.
Started today!
I really like this idea. I will be doing it for me and my father. Hope to do this every year. thanks.
Your Welcome!!
I just started. I use mobile banking so that makes it much easier to switch money to my savings account. I am going to double the plan and aim for more .
I wish you the best of savings
I am going to do it too, but backwards, with week one being the $52, because then I won’t have such a strain when the holidays come!
What a great idea!!
Now, that is a smart idea…i’m going to do one for my son and I. I might get my siblings and mom involved…this is a great way to have emergency funds or money for vac or just for rainy days!
Backwards! That’s a great idea. I will start today
Brilliant!
LOVE the backwards idea!
BRILLIANT!!!
This is fun Im going to post this in my facebook forum and challenge others to do the same in my group and on my personal page. What a great way to save money…thank you
Thank you!
Beginning today – just made my envelope. Not sure what money will go towards… maybe my next big vacation?
I started this today! I printed out the chart and taped it to a cylindrical vase so I will be reminded. I love this idea!!
Starting now. A great FUND-SAVING idea, thanks.
I get paid on a biweekly basis. It would be cool if there was a chart for that…but this is awesome. I put $3 in to cover weeks one and two
Starting today….excited…
I love the idea of doing it backwards! I have all the transfers scheduled in my online banking site. Looking forward to a successful year of saving!
I am so thankful for you posting this!!! This is just what I needed!! I started today!!
As I get paid bi-weekly and the amounts increase considerably towards the end I calculated saving $53 bi-weekly will still equal $1378 and not put me in a bind down the road
Yes, you can change it to fit your budget. I am glad you were able to find something that works for you.
I took an envelope and wrote numbers from 1 to 52 and then each week I’ll pick a number to put that amount inside. That way on leaner weeks I can put less and weeks we have more I can put more in.
That is a great idea! Thank you for sharing
I think I like this idea even better than the backwards idea! GREAT!!!

Great information.
My entire family’s doing their own money challenge. My husband and I are starting out with $2/wk. and my kids with $1/wk. That will give us $8268 by December. So, by Christmas my kids will be allowed to use 25% (or $350) of their money challenge and the rest remains in the bank.
I can’t justify putting the larger amounts away between Thanksgiving and Christmas…too much going out to put that much aside. I can afford it now, but not in November and December, so backwards it is!!! I already saved $103 in two weeks.
I love, love, love this idea!
I shared this on my blog and linked back to you guys!

I am going to do opposites! So week one, I will do $1, then on week two I will do $52 and so forth!
Since Im a waitress, I put in whats required each week. Im already on week 19
I will be doing this too. This will help with Christmas and for my son’s birthday, which is days after Christmas!!!!
I’m on week 6 and since I didn’t have coin, I just put in a bill a couple of times and have $45 in the “bank” already..now if I can keep putting in the minimum each week with a bit extra now and then, I’ll get to New Zealand to visit my son sooner…..
Can we start the challenge at anytime?
You could! You will have a little less at the end of the year but Still a great goal to start!
YES
