52 Week Money Challenge

thebritishbloke

I've been doing this, but I bumped all the minimum's (weeks 1-19) to £20. Also been putting a couple of quid in here and there, up to £1300 so far since Jan 1st.

I used a simpler method that still helped me to save a fair bit of money without really feeling I missed anything: I just started saving £1 coins. Each day, when I got home, I put every £1 I had in a tin. Simple as that.

I wouldn't deliberately save every £1 I received in change during the day, just those that I still had when I got home from work or a night out but it still allowed me to build up around £200 in a few months.

Well thats me hit my magic number... £1000 paid up to 22 June, for week 25, I may continue this again when i come back, as it has been the only way been able to save up...

Great idea and cant wait to start again! Keep going guys...if it helps anyone...i paid into mines monthly and seems to worked better for me to budget rest of the month!

Can I join? :j

Please can somebody tell me what week we're currently on and how much I should have saved already (doing it the original way)?

Also, just out of interest, is anyone saving money in the 52 week chalkenge for anything specific? It's just that I like to have a goal in mind when I'm saving.

I have added in up to week 26 and I'm at £351.

Struggling though as June has been a very busy month. The temptation to dip into this money is there!

I didn't see this until April but have been saving since then. I have put £1 £2 £3 etc each week in my diary and putting into it when I can (paying two weeks upfront or three weeks upfront etc) I am up to w/c July 7th so far.

I want to put it all into a savings account when I am off work next Monday so I don't have cash in the house and will know the total I have then and will keep tally from then on as I put in each weeks worth

Hope it'sokay to join as I didn't start till late
