A 52 Week Financial Challenge

As I settle into the new year I find that I have new optimism.  What was so scary about paying my bills, student loans and cutting back on my expenses to achieve all of that?  Hell if I know - but I do know this much to be true.  I AM STILL HERE!

I was browsing my Facebook Newsfeed and came across a challenge to save money. It looks VERY interesting.  I mean, each week you put away the amount of money that relates to the week of the year it is.  Week one = $1. Week two = $2. Week three = $3 and so on. Okay. Okay.  Sounds easily until you're in week 42 and you think, "What in the hell?  Where am I going to get $42? Honestly, you can make it work and I will take on this challenge. I am tired of only having $5 in my savings account.  If it weren't necessary to have at least $5 in a savings account to have a bank account - I wouldn't have that much saved.

So, this Friday I will begin the challenge. I am still here. I am still paying my bills. I am still sure I can meet this challenge and actually save money. Who doesn't want $1378?

If you're up for the challenge, I'd love to hear from you throughout the experience. I'll be sharing my progress periodically.
