Saving money on your list of resolutions this year? Try one of these 2 money challenges: 52 Week Money Challenge or the Reverse 52 Week Money Challenge for a quick and easy way to save money! (Plus, scroll down for some more saving money resources below)

52 Week Money Challenge

Each week of the year, you save a designated amount (based in the week #) and by the end of the year, you will have saved $1378.00 (that doesn’t include any interest it may accrue if you deposit it into a savings account).

So on week #1, you deposit $1. On week #2, $2, week #13 $13, week 24 $24, week #35 $35 and so on and so forth.

Reverse 52 Week Money Challenge

Another way of doing this challenge is by working backwards and start with an initial savings of $52 so that it only gets smaller as the year goes on. Instead of starting with a low amount, you start with the highest amount and work your way down (Week #1: $52.00, Week #2: $51.00, Week #3: $50.00, etc.). Plus, with that initial amount you could deposit it immediately into a savings account since you need a certain amount to get an account opened.

Another option…

Consider putting in double the amount each week, so you have double the amount at the end of the year.
