<prompt> Human: I searched to see if there was already a post about this and there were a few from this time last year but none from this year. The premise is pretty simple, this week you save 1, next week you save 2, the week after 3.. etc. If you do it every week from now until Dec. 31, 2015, at the end of the year youll have saved 1,378.Spreadsheet showing the weeks hereYou can either do this in your savings account or what Im choosing to do is save it in a jar I know rpersonalfinance would probably rather save it in an interest earning savings account rather than in physical cash but part of the reason Im so bad about saving money is Ill put money in my savings account and then when Im out shopping or getting drinks and Im broke, Ill transfer it right back into my checking account and spend it. I think that saving it at home will help a lot with this problem as I cant get the impulse to spend it while Im out. I also cant use it for online shopping unless I physically go to the bank and deposit it. I also think that itll help me contribute extra to the jar every once in a while. Right now if I have an extra 1 its almost guaranteed to get popped in a vending machine somewhere for a coke or a bag of chips. I think by having the jar Ill be more tempted to stuff them in there as extra rather than just squander them on instant gratification. Another suggestion I read was that part of the reason the challenge doesnt work for some people is because when you do it in a linear fashion, youre required to save about 200 in the month of December when most people are already strapped for cash. What you can do if you forsee this being a problem is print out the spreadsheet and instead of doing it in a linear fashion, just contribute what you can each week and mark that line off the spreadsheet. This allows you to contribute more earlier in the year if that is easier for you. As long as you mark off all the lines, the end result is still the same. Anyone want to join me? :  <response>: I like the idea of contribute what you can each week and mark that line off the spreadsheet. I have a commission based job and some paychecks are much better than others, so, to knock out some of the bigger chunks with my bigger paychecks would be ideal for me. Doing it in order is just setting myself up for failure.
