We all want to spend less, save more, and use the new year to shape up our finances. Is your New Year’s resolution going to be to save more money? Breaking bad habits and increasing your financial security is an admirable resolution – but it can be hard! Check out a couple of our Money Saving Challenges that may work for you!

Weather Wednesday: Look to see what the highest recorded temperature is every Wednesday. Then challenge yourself to deposit that dollar amount into your savings each week! This obviously would be more challenging in the Summer months. But it’s still a fun twist on a basic challenge to keep it fresh and exciting! 52-week Money Challenge: While we all recognize the importance of saving money, it can be hard to fit it in when your budget is already stretched thin. Consider trying the 52-Week Money Challenge. There are no complicated rules to remember. Week 1, you save $1.00. Week 2 you save $2.00, and it continues through the year, adding one more dollar to each week’s savings goal. By Week 52, you’ll set aside $52.00, which will bring the year’s total savings to $1,378.
