52 Week Savings Challenge – Week 5

52 Week Savings Challenge Week 5, Welcome back!  If you are just joining us, visit 52 Week Savings Challenge Week 1 to catch up with us and get started.

This week’s challenge  is to deposit $5.00 into your savings fund.  Making your month to date total $15.00!

Are you staying motivation to get these deposits done?  Or are you getting a little bored with the challenge?  However you are feeling don’t give up!  Stick with it.

You can change it around if you like… Here’s a few ideas:

1.)  Using Random.Org, Choose a number from 5-52.  Whatever number comes up let’s say it was 34, put $34.00 into your savings instead and just cross that one off the printable list.  This way you can make a game out of it.

2.)  Start at the end and go backwards the next 5 weeks.

If money is tight and you need to pull in some extra income, here are some ideas to help.

1.) Grab some printable coupons and take them with you while you grocery shop.

2.) Consider taking surveys.  Here are some companies that currently have openings:

• Inbox Dollars
• Mindfield 
• Valued Opinions

3.)   File your federal tax refund for free!  That’ll save you $20-25 dollars and you can use that towards your savings challenge.

Ahoy! I’m the fearless captain of this ship, navigating the wild waters of motherhood with four deckhands (kids), two pint-sized stowaways (grandkids), and a never-ending to-do list. As a Jill-of-all-trades, I can, put a shine on something lackluster, stretch a dollar further than the horizon, and chase squirrels like a seasoned deckhand swabbing the deck. I believe in living on less—why buy a yacht when you can sail smoothly on a budget? Whether I’m steering through life’s storms, reeling in bargains, or setting sail on a new adventure, I do it all with a splash of humor and a stash of chocolate in my treasure chest (a.k.a. purse). Join me on this crazy voyage where the coffee flows like the tide, and the squirrels are always just off the starboard bow!
