Take the 52 Week Savings Challenge and Save $1,400 in a Year!
1:30 PM
This past year is the first year that I have started to make a full-time income just from blogging. While that's great, saving is not always so easy. I have a good amount saved up in case of emergencies but we can all use a little help when it comes to banking some money for a special purchase, in case something goes wrong, or just because. Right? I started looking into weekly saving challenges and started to see just how easy it would be to save!
Did you know, that if you start the first week in January, and save just $1 that week, and then add a dollar each week until the end of the year, you can save nearly $1,400 by the end of 2015? I plan on doubling the recommended savings amount for this challenge each week to end up with nearly $2,800 and look into taking the boys on a trip to Disney at the end of the year with the extra money saved. No matter, what you are saving for, this 52 week savings challenge form can help! You can view the form below to get an idea of how the weekly savings challenge works, and then just click the link under the form to see the Google Document. Please remember to save your own copy of the form before making any changes!
Easy right? Is saving more on your "to do" list this year? If you have any money saving tips or tricks, I'd love to hear them below!

How awesome! The only problem I foresee is saving that much during the holiday season. With a few adjustments I know we could easily swing this.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! 10% of my paycheck automatically goes into savings which I love!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome and I saw the same problem Marcie.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking this challenge and next week I'm putting in $2! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great way to save...I'm thinking about doing it backwards; it would be impossible for me to save the extra $200ish in December.
ReplyDeleteI think I may try it -- it would be an easy to save blog money!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great challenge. I would love to start something like this.
ReplyDeleteMy friend shared this with me back in Dec. It's such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOoh I love the trip to Disney idea! I want to do something like this.
ReplyDeleteI saw this on someone else's blog and didn't know where it originated. I love this idea and showed it to my husband. We are going to try this too. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea! However, I have so many bills now (mostly medical) that this would be hard to do right now. I'll have to keep this in mind in the future, though.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Edee started this last yr and she loves that it saved her money for Christmas. I could never be so devoted. We have a money jar that we save all our coins in and cash in in Feb for our family vacation. usually cash in about $400
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! It's always great to put back a little money and this makes it easier.
ReplyDeleteI am really going to try to do this all the way through this year.
ReplyDeleteI love this concept!
ReplyDeleteWe're big savers. Close to half the main paycheck goes to savings to help pay for future or unexpected expenses. It's nice to have that safety net there when we need it.
ReplyDeleteThis does look like an effortless way to save money, and I am pretty sure that I can do this and I need to start saving this year. IT looks like a fun challenge!
ReplyDeleteMy whole plan for the new year is to save money and spend less. This is perfect for me, easy peasy.
ReplyDeleteWhen you put it this way, sounds really easy to save up that amount of money! My family needs to do this!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great way to save up through the year. For most this is probably do-able. for me, there is no such thing as saving unfortunately. :(
