FINANCE: 52 Week Money Challenge

52 Week Money Challenge

 

This is all over Pinterest.  For my purposes I did it the other way around and did the countdown.  It is easier for me to put away more money a week in the beginning of the year than it is in November/December because that is usually when I am spending for those unplanned parties, forgotten last minute gifts and so on.

 

I have an empty coffee (washed and dried).

I cut a slit on the lid then super glued the lid on.  (so no one is tempted to take money out)
On the outside (I took the coffee label off) 
I printed the spreadsheet taped it around the can (I customized to countdown from 52)
I tied a ribbon with a highlighter on the end to mark the week # so I can keep track as I deposit the money.

So we shall see during my Reflection on how well I do with this.  (I have actually been doing it for 3 weeks now). And so far, I am staying on track!
