Money Challenge: Week 1

It's Week 1 of the Money Challenge; are you ready?

In case you missed it, earlier this week I mentioned the age-old 52-week Money Challenge, where every week for the course of a year, you save incrementally increasing amounts of cash, ending your year with $1378!

As many suggested, it might be easier to start this challenge in reverse, as money tends to be tight in November and December.

I'll be doing the challenge that way, and it all starts now!

No matter if you're transferring money from checking to savings, putting bills in a fancy jar, or hiding it under the mattress...it's go time.

If you're starting with Week 1, put $1 away. If you're doing the challenge in reverse, like me, put $52 away.

Here's to a prosperous new year!
