Good Morning Boardies,

I have been counting down for my trip in March (66 sleeps) and was thinking of ways to make coming up with the money for the next trip easier. I came across the 52 week money challenge. Basically you save money every week, week 1 =$1, week 2=$2 and so on til you reach week 52 =$52. At the end of the year you will have a nice tidy little sum of $1378.00!!!

Personally I am gonna do it backwards, I'm in my 2nd week. So, I have put aside $52 + $51 = $103 dollars already.

You can be flexible which weeks you choose and there is even an app for Android, just search Moneychallenge (no space). Choose the flexible option and the app shows you how much you have saved so far and allows you to set reminders as well.

Nice way to save for 2015, quite effortlessly
