I stumbled across this great savings plan on Facebook the other day and thought it was ingenious.
On many calendars, each week is numbered, beginning with Week #1: January 1-7. On this 52-week plan, you save the amount of dollars that corresponds to that week’s number. If one week you find yourself with extra cash, add it to the pot. You’ll end up with more than the $1,378 total by the end of December or you’ll have created a bit of a padding for weeks that don’t have any extra cash left over.
Simply print out this chart or make your own and check off each week as you save. A family with 2 breadwinners could end up with a grand total of $2,756 at the end of the year if you both participate!
