Last year I posted the Weekly Resolution savings plan. It’s a great plan and if you started it, I hope you finished it! It was such a easy and methodical way to save, however, I’ve found myself cheating at the end of the year. Last week, instead of saving my $49, I spent it on Christmas gifts. In my defense, this savings account was for Christmas gifts and travel, but it still felt wrong and like I didn’t finish something I started.
So, for 2015, I’m providing you with the tools to do this same savings plan, but in reverse. This way the “hard saving” will be done while you are all jazzed up and excited about saving. And you’ll still end up with the same amount of money at the end of the year. Frankly, I’m feeling like I should have thought of this last year, but better late than never!
Just print it out and cross off each week as you go! At the end of the year you’ll have almost $1400 saved up and ready to invest, buy Christmas gifts, or go on vacation.
What will you use your Reverse 52 Week Savings on??? I’m partial to the vacation idea. : )

I’ve seen these loads of time on Pinterest, and always thought it funny to save the largest amount till the end of the year (when expenses seem to be at their highest!). So thank you for making this up in reverse! Makes so much more sense that way – especially the part about being excited to start at the beginning of the year!

Yes, I totally agree!!

Genius! Love that how it adds up to the same amount, but feel easier to do. If I can save that amount of money, it will go for our housing repayment to clear our debt more quickly.

That’s so great! Yes, we’ve been keeping up with it better this way as well 😉
