UPDATE: The 2021 Reverse 52 Week Money Challenge & 52 Week Money Challenge Schedule is now available.
For those of you who want to save money this year and are interested in doing the 52 Week Money Challenge I posted about previously but would rather start with the highest amount and work your way down (Week #1: $52.00, Week #2: $51.00, Week #3: $50.00, etc.) I have created a Reverse 52 Week Money Challenge Printable for you (see how much I love you guys!).
**Click on the photo and it should open up bigger on your screen so that you can print it.
The Reverse 52 Week Money Challenge may work best for those who happen to have the money now and would rather not have to worry about having to come up with the higher amounts around the Holidays. It also works best if you want to save the money from this challenge in a bank account and need a certain amount to get the account opened.
No matter what version of the 52 Week Money Challenge you decide to use, you will ultimately save $1378 by the end of the year. Savings is savings, so figure out which version works best for you and try to stick with it.

The reverse system makes MUCH more sense than increasing what you put in each week. So glad this is available, because it will work MUCH BETTER for people this way!
I am doing this for 2015.
Or you could save $26 per week for 52 weeks for a total of $1352, or $27 per week for 52 weeks for $1404
I love this idea! I think it would work better for everyone 🙂
any suggestions for people who get paid once a month?
I am going to alternate top to bottom. That way I will do a high amount one week, then a low amount the next. $1, $52, $2, $51, $3, $50, $4, $49, etc.
That’s a good idea too!
Perfect!!! The reverse way has too much money too quick, I would spend it way to soon! I love your idea of alternating! Did you do up a calendar for the rest of us like the author of this article? Lol!
Hi Stacey, I created a calendar here: http://funtasticlife.com/52-week-money-challenge-and-reverse-52-week-money-challenge-resources-for-2016/ (and I am also the author, LOL)
For those getting paid monthly
Group the weeks in 4s add that total amount and thats your monthly deposit
I am putting in the money once a month. I know that is not the main idea here but most of our bills are due in the first two weeks of the month so there isn’t a lot left over.
As long as you are saving money. Do what works best for you 🙂
I put Everything I have into savings. I already have an emergency fund.
Fortnightly payments ??
not sure I understand the question? 🙁
I really love this ideal of saving money. I need to do this every year.
