Plan #1 – The 52 Week Money Savings Plan
The classic 52-week savings plan is a crowd favorite for a reason: it’s simple and rewarding. Start by saving $1 in Week 1, $2 in Week 2, and so on. By Week 52, you’ll have a whopping $1,378 in your savings account!
The concept of 52 Week Savings Plan is very simple, you just have to save and deposit the amount that corresponds to the number of the week into your account. What I love about this plan is it’s not intimidating and even kids especially teens can do this. By saving small amounts, at the end of the challenge, you’ll have extra money.

You can also do this 52 week savings plan in reverse. Perfect for people who might find it harder to save larger amounts later in the year. You start with $52 in Week 1 and decrease by $1 each week until you save $1 in Week 52. Total savings is still $1,378. Perfect if you’re feeling extra motivated at the start of the year.
Everyone loves a good challenge right? Especially if this challenge will let you have $1378 after 52 weeks, so start saving now!
Plan #2 – Monthly Percentage Challenge
Save a percentage of your income or a fixed amount based on a goal each month. For example, save 10% of your income each month. This plan is flexible and customizable based on your earnings.
Plan #3 – The “No-Spend Week” Plan
Every month, pick one week where you spend only on necessities (groceries, rent, utilities). Save all the money you’d normally spend on discretionary items like eating out, shopping, and entertainment during that week. Potential savings depend on your usual spending habits.
These plans can help you prioritize saving, and with discipline, they can set you up for financial success in the new year!
