    You just add one dollar to each week. Week one, put away $1. Week 2, put away $2, week 3 put away $3 and so on. Week 52, you would put away $52. If you put away the money value of each week, at the end of 52 weeks, you will have saved $1,378.00

    Oh. I know I sure would spend it a lot faster than I saved it………..

    That's part of the challenge. You can't spend what you are putting away.

    I accept the challenge. But I know me, I’ll dip before week 20…….. Anybody else?

    So, it goes up incrementally.

    It goes up by matching the week number. Week 20 is $20. Week 25 is $25. Week 30 is $30 and so on.

    That's what my late husband kept telling his daughter. After hearing her tale of woe, he's say " Allysa ! ! (not her real name ) --- You have GOT to save some money !! "


     She'd say, Yeah, I know. Yeah., you're right .
