Such a good challenge! I don’t know why I always associate these challenges with Christmas and the holidays. I need to get in the mindset that this challenge would be good anytime of the year or for planning a vacation or major purchase or something :)

In reply to Jef Miles. Great point Jef, this could definitely be an app! If someone does develop one I'd definitely consider pointing people in their direction, but for now I think the spreadsheet and printable can get the job done for most people : )

In reply to Finance Solver. Saving challenges can definitely serve as motivation for those who it isn't "in their blood" to better themselves financially. Starting small has worked for a lot of people when it comes to finances, and this challenge allows you to build on your success week-after-week.

Nice DC! Cool concept & this could almost be an app, although there’s competition or similar types of software out there, this could be an awesome idea

I’m more of a create the habit & track each expense, which has worked for me although your idea is excellent..

I’d go boring & invest the extra $$ :) ha

I love savings challenges because it’s another person’s perspective on saving approaches. Your saving challenge is a novel one that I haven’t seen before, great ideas! Saving should be in someone’s blood to better themselves financially.

In reply to Hannah. That's awesome that she did a multiple of the challenge! For some people saving $1,400 in a year is a big help, but if you did this challenge at a multiple of 5 you'd be saving a lot more, which is always good.

My younger sister did a version of this. She attempted to earn extra income each week, but she really leveled up. She did 5X (so week 1, $5, Week 2, $10, etc.).

She started out selling stuff and babysitting, but she got pretty creative in the end when she had to earn $260 in a week
