  • Ginene's 52 week challenge

    I haven't post in years but I have been doing this challenge with my coworkers since the beginning and all have dropped out but one so I still need encouragement and I googled this and found this forum. I forgot I was a member. Lol well im proud to say I deposit $82 today so I am now caught up to week 32. I borrowed $50 two weeks ago and just replaced it. Im so excited to see this to the end.

        Today I brought my lunch so I'm saving that $5 and will add $3 to it when I go to the store today. $8 total. $25 more to meet my goal this week.

          Way to go on the savings you've already made as well as sticking with the challenge even when most of your coworkers dropped out.

              Yesterday I put in $42 for week 33. I figure since I borrow sometimes when I pay back I'll always have a surplus. Also went to the store and got back $3 to start week $34. Hope I still do good when school starts.

                  Awesome! I should look at things that way. If I don't buy something during the week the $ should go in a cash box haha At the moment, I'm just sending it to my account in bulk from the paycheck. Good job on continuing!

                    I have $115 per pay sent to my other savings acct but I end up spending it affer about 2 months so I cant use my bank acct. Ky envelope works like magic for me. I also took a pic at week 26 for motivation and blogged about it. It got me pumped. Lol

                          Wow! I put my savings in an online bank account so that I wouldn't touch it, but looking at the picture you posted, I do think that may have motivated me even more to keep adding to it! Congrats on your deposits, and if you don't mind sharing the link, I would love to read your blog as well.

                            Thanks. I try to look at it as a bill. I just made my $34 deposit today in my envelope. I'm so pumped!
