Weekly Saving Challenge 2014

splodgethefirst

One of my DDD goals for next year is to complete the weekly saving challenge. I am planning on doing it in reverse order (both to be awkward and to pay the biggest sums whilst I am most keen!).

The aim is to pay the same amount of money in pounds (etc) as the week number of the year in to a savings account - with the final total standing at £1,378 - a princely sum!

I know this is something which has been mentioned on this forum and I wondered if anyone wanted to join me?

Sounds like a great idea, I'd be more inclined to do it your way too (in reverse order).

I think this is a great idea. Count me in please. I will also start with higher amounts first

I think i am overdoing it with challenges but what the hell :P I'm in! I will also be doing it in reverse order.

Do we want to have numbers and such? I've written the weekly figured in the back of my saving's book so i can cross them off as I go. Here are the monthly totals if you're doing it that way:
Backwards: January - £202; February - £186; March - £170; April - £154; May - £138; June - £122; July - £106; August - £90; September - £74; October - £58; November - £42; December - £10

Forwards: January - £10; February - £42; March - £58; April - £74; May £90; June £106; July - £122; August - £138; September - £154; October - £170; November - £186; December £202

Might be a good idea to have numbers in signature's so we can keep an up to date record through the year!

Count me in please

EverTheOptimist

Ooooo yes please, me me me. What a fab idea.

Although as I'm on SMP until May, I'm going to have to go forwards as I just don't have the big amounts at the mo.

Can I have a number please?

Sedge123

Could I go forwards for a month and then
Backwards? I know it's a bit wierd but January is an expensive month for us. I think this challenge will give us the push to save regularly. X

kbl

would love to join this too if I may, as I've a massive year of debt busting ahead of me, and this would help me start saving. Think I need to do it in reverse order too please
