Ok, so I'm not perfect after all! It's always been a challenge for me to save money thats easily accessible. The temptation to dip into it overwhelms me and I "steal" from myself ALL THE TIME! Although, I have several saving accounts that are funded automatically, I don't have immediate access to the funds in case of an extreme emergency where a sizable amount of cash is needed! I'm talking about something like KATRINA where evacuation is needed, backs are closed, etc. Yea, a lil dramatical but you know what I mean, crazy ish has been going down lately. So I've challenged myself to exhibit the self control (that every woman that's almost 41 years old should have) to have a stash right at my finger tips and not touch it. If you have similar issues with saving or if you just want to save for a future purchase, then please join me on this 52 week financial challenge for the year 2011. Our goal is to save $1.00 a week, increasing our savings every week by $1.
For example:
Week 1 -$1
Week 2- $2
Week 3- $3........
Week 52 - $52
Our total savings for 52 weeks will be $1378.
I've got to 2 of my peeps on board already! They will be using their savings accounts because they aren't flawed like me. What can I say, I get it from my mama, lol! I need to conquer this issue once and for all, so I will be keeping my stash in a secure yet accessible place.
Comment below and let me know what you think. I'll need your encouragement along the way, this is really gonna be a challenge for me and will require major restraint.
