Saving money can feel overwhelming, but what if you could do it in small, manageable steps? The 52-week savings challenge is a simple, gradual way to build your savings over the course of a year, with just a little effort each week, you’ll have $1,378 by the end of 52 weeks! 

How Does the 52-week savings challenge work? 

The concept is easy: start small and increase your savings each week. 

Week 1: Save $1 

Week 2: Save $2 

Week 3: Save $3 

…and so on, until you reach Week 52, where you save $52. 

At the end of the challenge, you’ll have $1,378 saved up without feeling like you had to make drastic changes to your budget. 

Why this challenge works 

• Starts small, builds momentum: The gradual increase makes saving feel easy. 

• Turns saving into a habit: By the time you reach the later weeks, saving is second nature. 

• A great way to fund a goal: Use the $1,378 for an emergency fund, vacation, or holiday shopping.  

How to make it even easier 

• Automate it: Set up an automatic weekly transfer to a savings account. 

• Reverse it: Start with $52 in Week 1 and decrease the amount each week—this can be easier if saving is tough later in the year. 

• Adjust it to your budget: If $1,378 is too much, try saving half the amount each week for a smaller goal.
