I saw this on my Facebook's news feed from a friend that is always finding new clever and fun ways to save... look at this!!!!!!!
One of my new year's resolutions is to have a little extra "nail polish money" and this is a great idea. I am hereby DARING you to take this challenge. By end of the year you could have $1,378 someone say Christmas/Holiday Shopping???
woohooo!!
am stoked just thinking about it.. and how easy is it.
Simply set ASIDE and put AWAY (preferably into a savings account) as follows:
Week 1 of the year $1.00
Week 2 $2.00
Week 3 $3.00
and so on and so forth. See the chart above.
and if you have an extra dollar or so! throw it in! why not? but whatever comes IN shall NEVER come OUT!
Let's do this together.... Tell me what you would do with $1,378 at the end of the year and a random comment will be chosen to receive a little surprise.

UPDATE: Colleen S. a fan from the page, suggested to start backwards so the amount gets smaller and easier and easier to do! what a great idea. Comment below with your thoughts and suggestions and keep us posted on progress!
I would put the money toward grad school!
ReplyDeleteaw! what a wonderful idea! be diligent! save save save! :)
DeleteI would use it for our anniversary. December is always really full for us with 2 birthdays, and christmas, so we never have money by the time the 29th rolls around to do anything special.
ReplyDeletesooo sweet! wow! that's one busy month for you!
DeleteI saw this the other day as well and talked my husband into trying it. We plan on using the money for Christmas... who can't use extra money that time of the year, right?
ReplyDeleteyaaay! exactly!
DeleteI would give half of it to my parents to help out with bills. Then the other half I would use to help pay bills and stuff at my new house with my boyfriend!
ReplyDeletehow sweet!
DeleteOOopps my bad. My email is sparks4166@gmail.com
ReplyDeletegot cha'
DeleteI would give half of it to my parents to help with bills, then the other half I would use towards bills and such at my house with my boyfriend!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteIt would be great for December and January. The minute December hits I stress. We have Christmas, then one week later new years then one week later my oldest daughters birthday and a week after that my son's birthday, plus my anniversary is in there too and we never celebrate it !! This money could resolve lots of Stress!!
ReplyDeletebusy busy month! good luck! you have a great tool now and you just on time to start
DeleteIf i could save this money it would help me dearly in December and January. with Christmas and new years then 2 of my children's birthdays in the two following consecutive weeks including an anniversary that never gets celebrated. This plan could help me decrease the amount of gray hair I get every winter due to over induced stress lol
ReplyDeleteno "if I could save..." of course you CAN! we'll do this together :)
DeleteI love this idea, and am going to give it a shot! I'd probably either put it away for future college costs, or pay for a vacation for myself and my boyfriend.
ReplyDeletewooohooO! you're on! let's do THIS!!!!!!!!!
DeleteI would use this as a deposit on a wedding venue! I was totally planning on saving and this is a really very clever way of doing it - thanks for sharing with us! <3
ReplyDeleteawwwwwwwwwwww how awesome!!!!!! here it is! and also fun! :)
DeleteI would use the money for a vacation!

I would use it to take Spring/Summer classes next year so I could finish my degree sooner!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely use it for Christmas gifts. Between Oct 12- Nov 2 there are 5 bdays. Both my daughters, mines & my twin sister and my mother in law.. By the time we celebrate all those bdays its crazy Christmas time having to buy gifts all over again lol

I figured if you do it backwards you are only adding $10 to it in december rather then $202 :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny my hubby and I talked about doing something similar to this so we have enough money saved by Thanksgiving for black Friday shopping. I may double up a few weeks to get that! We have five kids so makes perfect sense thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy name is ashley pashley. Email is rasheedsgirl@yahoo.com. I have no idea what I would do with it! Maybe a new car??
ReplyDeleteI would love trying it.. But I'm ony making 200€ a month and I'm a student so weeks 45-52 arent easy to succeed..
ReplyDeleteWould go to London from that money for some shopping!
I need to try this. thanks for the share
ReplyDeleteBe Happy!
If I get a job within the next month I'll be sure to do this. I'd put this money towards paying back the money I've borrowed from my family as well as pay off some of the debt from school. My e-mail addy is amethystxiii@gmail.com. I'm also following on facebook, named Alicia J.
ReplyDeleteI would pay off some of my bills so that I could start my daughter in private school for first grade (2014)! YAY! Sandra B.
