52 Week Savings Challenge

oooh this year is full of great challenges.

I know you don’t want to overload your new year with taking on too many new habits.

but I had to share this one. It’s been floating around facebook.

I don’t know about you but its been a challenge for me to keep a savings.

Here is a great way to save through out the year.

If followed I will have amounted to nearly $1,400 saved by January 1, 2014!

Take the 52 Week Savings Challenge with me.

Basically each week of the year you put away the dollar amount of that week.

Today we are on week 2 so tomorrow I will be putting $3 away to catch up.

Next week will be week 3 so I will add another $3. Week 4 will be $4 and so on…

by Week 52, you’ll have saved up $1,378.00! Amazing right!

You could put in an envelope under your bed or piggy bank.

But I would suggest putting it into a interest savings account and make a little bit on top.

Every little bit counts!

I have an ING Direct Savings account that you can create and automatically transfer the amounts from your checking to your savings account.

I figured you might like to give this is a shot, particularly if you’ve are like me and want to enhance your financial well-being in 2013.

Even if you chunk up this task by putting aside the amount each quarter rather than every week, you will still possess a nice chunk of change in the bank at the end of the year!

Let me know if you are in for the challenge and comment below…
