Money Challenge: Week 9

Can you believe March is just a couple days away?

I'm definitely looking forward to it, mostly just for the chance of warmer weather, and a big money challenge milestone!

At this point, I'm really glad I did this money challenge backwards. As of this week, we have more than $400 in the bank, and in 2 weeks, we'll top $500!

It's a nice payoff, considering I don't feel like it's been all that long since we started.

That said, if you're doing the challenge the original way, you'll get the big payoff at the end of the year when your savings will dramatically increase.

It's not too late to change how you're doing things, either. For example, if you've been doing it the traditional way this whole time, but want to change, simply start the reversed chart from the beginning. (So this week save $52, next week save $51, etc...then your last week of the challenge in December you'd finish by putting away $10. Just realize you'll have to keep track of things on your own!)

That said, it's week 9, so traditionalists, put $9 away. Team Backwards, it's $44 in the bank!
