52 Weeks Savings Challenge (2024 Edition)

[tay1]

I like the energy so far. I hope the thread is as active 20 weeks from now

 

[willypete]

20K in 2020 is the goal for me, roughly 800 a check lets get it! Also looking to purchase my first home in August.

This what I want to be on next year

 

[Coromanti]

Let the saving commence.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I’m going to try to do two separate 5k ones and my wife is going to do 5k as well. Hopefully we can put 10 in savings and 5 in mutual funds.

I just transferred $30. I think I will be doing random amounts this year but keeping track.

 

[jape]

Are you following a specific challenge? I’m putting all the numbers from the $2,500 challenge into a bowl and choosing at random every week.

I’m in for this. It took 25 plus years to finally grasp the concept of wealth and money management.

Time to learn from the passed past and set the record straight for my future fam. Let’s go NT.

I'll be doing this something slight.

I'll do $40 every Friday along with $200 at the end of each month

Nope but I will try to save over 5G by putting in random accounts every week. I feel like this will help me save more. If I hit at the casino I will put the winnings in the savings and when I get random money throughout the year I will put that in the savings.

 

[Tony $now]

I’m doing the 5k challenge plus all of my bonus money will get saved this year instead of buying stupid ish. Bonus’s usually top out at around 24k before taxes so hopefully I can reach 20k total saved this year in addition to my 401k contributions. Thinking of opening a Roth account also this year. Can someone point me in the right direction?

 

[willypete]

Bonuses? Must be nice

 

[marikomorose]

I’ll go for $8009 Appreciate the incentive op.

 

[jc5123]

Just emailed the $2500 to my wife, trying to get her on board.

Week 2

Let’s get them savings in for the second week of the new year !!

 

[paulwest1985]

I gotta be more disciplined this year in terms of saving. Half of my coming check on Friday is going into the savings account and my complete tax return is going into savings as well. Definitely pushing for 8k - 11k at the end of the year.

Vanguard is probably the most popular one and easy to use

If I have the flexibility to deposit a higher amount that is schedule for a future date, I'll deposit that and make note that I have already covered that deposit for that week.

Also will deposit any extra money that I can deposit too.
