2016 "52 week money challenge"

I'm going to have AT LEAST 10K in my account by next year. Gonna aim for 15K though.

288 a week brother

I'm on that same wave with you. To tell you the truth, I don't have much saved up, and I know a lot of other ppl in my position may already have that amount saved so I feel like I need to catch up

I need to cut down on my spending

Groceries
Rent
Student Loans
credit card (this is my fault)

Those 4 are the things working against me. I'm gonna try and knock those out one by one. I'm going to war with my finances this year. I'm about to be 25, I have a good job but my habits is just ****** all the way up.

I would tell anyone that's doing this to try and open up a separate account where you'll hold this money. Simply transferring it to your savings account that's connected to your primary checking will make you

A. Withdraw it.
B. Not do it some weeks, especially in the earlier periods.

Exactly this, I opened an account with Ally last year to save my money for this, it was out of sight out of mind & collecting not too horrible interest. I'm in again, I'm doing the double amount in reverse, I already put in $104 last week & $202 will go in next Wednesday(have to wait until next payday for the higher amounts).
 
In. I'm using a Barclay's online savings account to hold this money. I messed up last year by transferring it back to my checking when I "needed" money to blow. :smh:
 
Yea I just started a new separate savings account also. Gotta keep my head straight this year, NT be having me buying random bs that I don't need

Was thinking of taking the money out of my account and putting it in a shoe box but that's just foolish :smh: :rolleyes

Last time i tried this, I got ahead of my self and then I got lazy cause I kept thinking oh I put in $20 last time. And it caught up with me and I just said F' it. I'm just going to just follow it as its posted.
