If you’re struggling to figure out a way to save money effectively, or you find yourself always waiting for your payday to come in, here’s a great challenge you can set yourself and see how much you can save!

This challenge is very simple; during the first week, try to save $1, $2 during the second week and so on and so forth, all the way up to week 52 where, you guessed it, try to save $52!

You can create a savings chart or tracker so that you can ensure that you’re saving every week, and I would recommend putting these savings into a different bank account, so that you’re not tempted to spend it!

This challenge instils great saving habits, starting off small and working up towards a big goal, and by the end of the challenge you’ll have saved a whopping $1378! You can put this money towards a big-ticket item, or save it for when you graduate or any other life stage. And if that was too easy, try the 52 Week Saving Challenge, followed by doing it in reverse, doubling your money!

Give it a try and happy saving!
