Doing this challenge is one of the more difficult resolutions I've ever made, but sticking with it is oddly gratifying!

Are you still with me?

Now that I have something so big to save for, this challenge is more important than ever. Knowing what I'll be using the cash for eventually is a big help to stay motivated.

Whether it's new clothes for the kids, a vacation, or just a mortgage payment...you can probably think of something you'll want the money for next year. Keep that in mind every time you think this challenge isn't worth it!

We're onto week 5, so traditionalists will put $5 away. Everyone who's with me on Team Backwards, we're dropping $48 into the piggy bank.

Here are both charts if you want the visual!
