52 Week Money Challenge

marco1dog

Kayester I will have to join again. I still have my savings up to week 16.
Here we go.
Week one/ £1

XSpender

I found 1 pound coin in my coat pocket and 2 in a drawer so that covers my first 2 weeks:). They have been put in an old (clean) mayo jar in the kitchen as I think seeing them glistening will keep me motivated to stick with challenge.

Week 2/£3

£231/1378

I had initially started doing this back to front (£52 first...) but had to pause that and eventually start using some of the money saved, sadly.

I've now started it again with minor twist. I'm not following a set pattern, 1 week I might add £30 and the next week might be £2 - but the 52 variations will be done. My income varies too much from month to month so this may give me bit more success.

£133/1378

welcome to new and old people. ive given up on writing a list cos too many people come and go (i was one who went and came back)
I am in a better position now though and ted24 thats a brilliant idea if you have more money one week, i will also keep track of what amount i put in.

I am going to do exactly the same thing. Thought about doing it backwards but will probably find it hard to do it forwards this month!! I will start off forwards but on those months where there is more than less - then I will do some of the larger amounts. I'm going to make a grid and print it off and then colour it in - I'm so blue peter!!!).

Thanks for the tip. x

I'm going to give this a go for 2014. I'm going to do it backwards though, as I definitely have less expenses this end of the year. Look forward to hearing everyone's progress.

Hi guys, I will be doing this one too. Very suited to me this kind of savings challenge, I will also be doing a slight twist by paying of a c.card with the money every now and then so that I won't be saving when I have debt, seems silly to do that.
I will be using my spare change tin and when I have a good amount to make an extra payment I will pop the money in the bank and transfer it across
Week 1 and 2 are already in the pot, bring on week 3 :j

This challenge is great... Have been inspired and DH joining too... I'm trying to repay £5000 cc this year.... Have got it down from£12000 over last 4 years so hoping final push with this sealed pot will help:) will add money for each week but not in order ... So far have £50 ... dH has £1 the sense of competition will hopefully help us! Was wondering is it worth while writing on the side of pot how much is in there or is that daft?
