<prompt> Human: Im sure youve all seen this on your twitters, face books, pinterests, etc etc. Its a 52 week savings plan where you put a dollar away the first week, two dollars the second week, etc, until the last week of the year you put away 52 dollars for a grand total of 1378 dollars at the end of the year. heres more info on it with a spreadsheet Personally, I think its dumb, but thats just my two cents. I dont think many people would last doing it, once they had to put 25 dollars a week away over 100 a month!, theyll probably quit because of affordability. What does the rest of pf think?  <response>: Why not put 100 away every week and have 5x that amount? Or better yet, if youre in your 20s, just put it in an IRA and have it multiply by 16 over your working career.I think savings plans like this are sort of rookie ways of getting started on saving, but if you really dont have the self control to put away some cash every check, you need a damn budget.What Im trying to say is, it ignores whats really possible with your money.
