52 Week Money Challenge...
One of the most popular new year's resolutions has got to be 'saving money'. A noble resolution for sure, especially after the holiday spending frenzy many of us go on from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve. While I didn't make any resolutions this year, I am always interested in tightening our belts after the holidays. I kept hearing about this 52 Week Money Challenge. The idea is to save $1 for the number of the week we are in during the year. $1 for week one, $2 for week two and so on. If you are faithful in doing this you will have $1378.00 by week 52 of this year. Pretty neat, isn't it? The woman behind this challenge is a lot like many of us. Meet her here. I have seen ideas about reversing this challenge by saving the $52 the first week, $51 the second week, etc. The theory behind this is that during the last weeks of the year, we tend to have holiday expenses making it harder to set aside $40 plus...
