52 Week Savings Challenge

Want an easy way to save $1,378 a year? Join the 52-Week Challenge! This popular challenge is an incremental savings plan that encourages you to save a little cash each week. It’s a simple and manageable way to save towards your financial goals.

Here’s How it Works:

1. Starting today, put $1 in your piggy bank (or Savings Account).
2. One week from today, you’ll put $2 into your piggy bank.
3. The next week, you’ll deposit $3 into your piggy bank.
4. From today, for the next 52 weeks, you’ll deposit $1 more than you did the week before. When you’re done, you’ll not only have almost $1,400 saved up, but you’ll have successfully developed a great savings habit! See chart below.

Make it Fun   

Create a support team and arrange a “buddy challenge.” Ask a friend or two to save alongside you so that you can support one another. Want more of an incentive? Plan to take a trip together with the money you’ve saved.
