A question about : Weekly Saving Challenge 2014
One of my DDD goals for next year is to complete the weekly saving challenge. I am planning on doing it in reverse order (both to be awkward and to pay the biggest sums whilst I am most keen!).
The aim is to pay the same amount of money in pounds (etc) as the week number of the year in to a savings account - with the final total standing at Ј1,378 - a princely sum!
I know this is something which has been mentioned on this forum and I wondered if anyone wanted to join me?
Best answers:
- Sounds like a great idea, I'd be more inclined to do it your way too (in reverse order).
- I think this is a great idea. Count me in please. I will also start with higher amounts first
DC1 - I think i am overdoing it with challenges but what the hell :P I'm in! I will also be doing it in reverse order.
- Do we want to have numbers and such? I've written the weekly figured in the back of my saving's book so i can cross them off as I go. Here are the monthly totals if you're doing it that way:
Backwards: January - Ј202; February - Ј186; March - Ј170; April - Ј154; May - Ј138; June - Ј122; July - Ј106; August - Ј90; September - Ј74; October - Ј58; November - Ј42; December - Ј10
Forwards: January - Ј10; February - Ј42; March - Ј58; April - Ј74; May Ј90; June Ј106; July - Ј122; August - Ј138; September - Ј154; October - Ј170; November - Ј186; December Ј202 - Might be a good idea to have numbers in signature's so we can keep an up to date record through the year!

... it could be you! - Count me in please
- Ooooo yes please, me me me. What a fab idea.
Although as I'm on SMP until May, I'm going to have to go forwards as I just don't have the big amounts at the mo.
Can I have a number please? - Could I go forwards for a month and then
Backwards? I know it's a bit wierd but January is an expensive month for us. I think this challenge will give us the push to save regularly. X - would love to join this too if I may, as I've a massive year of debt busting ahead of me, and this would help me start saving. Think I need to do it in reverse order too please
- Post edited to here.
If you'd like to say when you deposit/transfer your savings we could keep track here in this thread too? - Oooh thank you. Love the fact that I'm number 7. Looking forward to getting started on this one.
- This is a great idea, count me in! I'm going to go backwards too, to ease the load on next christmas.
- What a great idea. I would love to join too please
I'll have to go forwards as I will having nothing left after this Christmas.
Thanks - Hi Splodgethefirst ,
This is a great idea.
Can I join please ,I'll have to do it forwards has I'm doing the 1 debt in 100 day (14) - Thanks splodge.
- Can I join please, love the idea. I am going to go forwards though as hoping to become DF part way through 2014 so will be making hefty payments towards this for first few months, thankyou x
- Reedited
So happy to se so many other savers ! I think this will be challenging but rewarding at the end !
What else is everyone looking forward to in the new year? - My main focus of the new year will be the new addition to the family, due in June.
