It's December 31st.... (Penny Pincher)

.... And a lot of people are contemplating the pros and cons of the past year along with their successes and, well, lack thereof. Let's call those discoveries and learning experiences. :)

But a common discovery that I hear people talk about is a lack of a savings account. And unfortunately, in this day and age, not having any type of savings can be disastrous.

Fortunately, I found this: 

 

It is literally a map to have $1300+ in your bank account by December 31st of next year. Each week is numbered so you know what week to put what amount of money.  We shared this in one of the FB groups I am in and a few of the ideas were amazing!

1. One mom decided to start in November. By December 1st of next year, she has Christmas shopping money.
2. One mom decided to start with week 52 and go backwards. It was easier to put a larger amount in the beginning of the year and less around the holiday season.
3.  One mom decided not to go in order. She would pick a week based on how much money she had left from paying bills. Then she'd cross it off.
4. One mom made a jar for each of her children. (This is my favorite idea! I'm thinking of combining this with idea number 3!)

Can you think of any ideas you could use with this savings chart?

Happy saving!
