Finances aren’t something any of us enjoy talking about. I mean, there is never enough, am I right? But it’s important for your family to save. Whether it’s for an emergency fund, a Christmas shopping fund, or even for college, learning how to save money is important. At 29, I’m still learning & just started a family emergency fund last year (which ended up saving our rears when we ended up with two flat tires in under two months!). With a new year just around the corner, it’s a great time to get a fresh start with a savings account to set yourself up for financial success in 2015.
Starting a savings account can feel daunting, especially when you feel like there just isn’t enough left over at the end of the week to put into savings. With the right baby steps, you can set yourself up for financial success in 2015 with this simple, easy, & totally do-able savings plan that starts out with just $1. That’s all it takes to get the ball rolling on this savings plan. And if you stick to it each week in 2105, you will have saved $1378!
I know to some, $1378 may not seem like much, but that’s a great little emergency fund or Christmas shopping fund to help you avoid the inevitable holiday financial hangover. But the point of this is baby steps. Start saving in small amounts so you can see instant results & stay motivated.
In 2015, my family will be saving each week with this easy 52 week money challenge. I created a bright & cheery printable to share with all of you so that you can participate as well. I’ll be printing this & placing it in my planner to keep track of each week, but you could also display this on your fridge; or even tape it to a mason jar & keep your deposits in there each week. Just click the image below for the full resolution (best on an 8×11 or smaller).
