Do you realize we are in week 51 of our 52 week Money Saving Challenge? We started December 1, 2014 .. and consistently added a little more to our savings EACH week.
If you are and have been saving along with us, then you should have close to $1,326 in that account. This past year has been a really great opportunity to get your feet wet into establishing that Emergency Fund. As it progressed, the amounts got a little higher – but nothing is truly THAT far out of reach for most.
We talked about many ways to help you save.. here are just a few:
- Cut the Cord & Save On your Cable Bill
- 3 Results of Paying in Cash
- 7 Ways to Save MORE Right NOW
- 5 Barriers to Saving Money
- 5 Ways to Create Better Spending Habits
- Acorns: Invest your Spare Change from Everyday Purchases
If you found it difficult to save the last 12 months, you might want to re-challenge yourself to start the savings challenge again for 2016. It really isn’t all too hard – it was more of an emotional commitment than anything else.
Just last week we mentioned that the secret to saving ANY amount of money is making saving an EMOTIONAL priority.. and I strongly believe that to be the case with our Savings Challenge: it’s SO easy, anyone could jump on board with success 1 year later.
Read more about that on our last post... and let us know – did you participate in this challenge? How did you do? Did you save MORE than we had planned? Will you continue to save into 2016?
