Is it really that hard to save that much money?
You should tell girls you're doing this. I bet they'll love it
What about putting a '0' at the end of $1.
Then by Dec you are putting away $520 for that last week.
End of every day I dump all my coins and $5 notes in a tin.
Fills up probably about once a year. Tends to be around $1300.
It's not a bad way to save that amount.
I have done something similar. Doing it in reverse kind of defeats the purpose, which is to slowly adjust your week-to-week spending habits by ratcheting up your savings in barely-noticeable increments.Anyone done this or know of anyone who has done this right through to the 52 week?
Some have suggested doing it in reverse to get away from the Xmas-NYear stress.
I'd be careful about doing that. Change jars are the first thing that burglars go for, and most H&C insurance policies only let you claim a very small quantity of cash.End of every day I dump all my coins and $5 notes in a tin.

Or you could put away $26.50 every week and get the same result.
but dude what if you put away $27.50 a week then end up with an extra $52!
Then round it up to an even $30.
I might try this when I'm not living paycheck to paycheck.
Doing it in reverse would be an idea, I think , as you have suggested some do, Gasometer . Would be easier to save $52 this week , than next December/ Jan ?

Ha, I do this as well, although more on a weekly basis or so.My challenge is basically transferring odd amounts from account to account. For example, if I have $2746.80 in my account, then at then end of a night (not every night necessarily) I transfer 6.80 from the main account into the other. Since late October I now have saved just over $250 this way. The purpose is twofold....a financial safety net should things go pear shaped, or that money could be used to fund big trips (or even a GF ticket if the improbably happens!)
