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
You could also work backwards and start with an initial savings of $52 so that it only gets smaller as the year goes on. 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…
You could also consider putting in double the amount each week, so you have double the amount at the end of the year.
Want to Keep Track Of Your Savings? Simply print out the schedule and cross off each week as you go along.

I would do well until I hit over 20 a week. I think $50 a week (200 a month) would throw me for a loop. I bet you could also half this and it would be good for something like Christmas gifts, or a roadtrip or an event. I have alway wanted to try this.
