What is the 52 week saving challenge euro? ›

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!

The 52 week money challenge is designed to help you save significant money over a year. It involves saving a small amount, usually £1 per week, and increasing the amount by £1 each week. By the end of the challenge, you'll have saved a total of £1,378.

Rather than eating less to lose weight, you're spending less to improve your savings. But like a diet, it does little good if you revert to your old habits once the challenge is over.

Like any money-management tool, cash stuffing is only good if it actually improves your budgeting, spending, and saving habits. For some, the time involved and requirement to hold physical cash won't work. For others, cash stuffing could help curb overspending and stave off debt.

The goal of the Challenge is simple: save $100 in a 30-day time period through a series of gradually increasing deposits. November has 30 days so every day is a savings day. As shown in the picture below, daily savings deposits start at $1 a day for five days followed by $2, $3, and $4 each for five days.

Bottom line. Cash stuffing, like other budgeting methods, is a way to plan out your spending and keep track of expenses. While it can be helpful for curbing overspending and limiting credit card debt, the downside of budgeting with cash is that you're missing out on the protection and yields offered by bank accounts.
