Ashley - Embracing Grace says
I think the last few weeks would be really difficult for us. If we did this we would have to play around with the number some so it’s more doable for our family. Thanks for sharing!
Natalie says
You could maybe do the 52 week savings in reverse? Start with the higher figures and end with lower!
Princess Hairstyles says
Great idea! I would love seeing our account grow like that throughout the year.
Heather @ Work from Home with Kids says
I tried this last year and got half way through before my finances got cut in half. It was awesome to have that bit of money saved up thought!
Natalie says
Yes! Every week achieved is a financial bonus!
Sorry to hear your finances got cut in half – I hope 2014 is prosperous for you!
Audrey at Barking Mad! says
I love love love how my friends on both side of the pond are doing this! I get excited because my hubby is British and I love to share the blogs written by Brits, with him!
We’re doing this as a family, and my 8 year old is doing it as well, with a wee bit of modification.
Natalie says
Oh wow – where abouts is he from?
I created this UK version of the 52 week savings challenge because all the options I could ever find were for the US. I love how you are doing this as a whole family!
Kathleen says
I am doing this same challenge, I want to save up some extra money to take the boys to Disney.
Donna says
This is so doable. I need to do this!
Shell Feis says
I want to try to do this! The trick for me will be actually remembering to do it every week.
Natalie says
Set a reminder on your iPhone
Kerri says
What a great way to say money with a goal!
Beth @ Musing Mainiac says
Great idea!
Tammy says
We are savers by nature, but I think it’s a great challenge for those that have a bit more saving rather than spending. Not sure how your coins work in Britain (pence?), but here in the U.S. it would be a neat challenge for kids to do in cents to teach them to save too!
Natalie says
Yes, the kiddos could totally join in and save each week!
Michelle says
I need to do this!
Sara Phillips says
I love this challenge! I need to work out how to move over that amount each week since I never carry cash, but this is awesome!
Jesica H says
Did it, loved it, doing it again! I even doubled up sometimes. Although I swapped the numbers around a bit so the higher ones weren’t all at the end, lol.
Nichol says
I just saw this last night online and am definitely doing this. I have some well a lot of medical bills I need to get paid off from my husband’s back surgery, so I have to start saving. I think the end weeks would be a challenge but that’s why I’m going to save more in the early weeks:)
Digna (autumn blues) says
I wish I could stick with something like this. Working from home there are weeks when I don’t see a dime. My husband does all the saving in our home. I don’t have any worries as he is right on top of everything. I would have to tweak this and make it a monthly savings plan, that would work better for me.
Jennifer @ My Sweet Sanity says
I wanted to do this last year but totally forgot. I am all geared up to try it this year instead.
Tildskie says
We do this challenge! We mix the weeks up, its far more easier!
We will be doing it again this year!

Alfina says
Does anyone know if there is a kid version of this? It would be great for the kids to start saving too. Maybe start from 10p or something?
Thank you
Natalie says
Hi Alfina, I have one in the making… as soon as it’s finished, I’ll shoot you a link
Jade bunker says
Just start with 10p instead of £1. Then the second week 20p, 3rd week 30p: final week would be £5.20 and the little one will have saved £138! I’m going to do it for my 5 year old x
Natalie says
Jade, yes! This is a perfect way to do the savings challenge with kiddos!
Have fun!
Jo Blogs says
This is a truly fantastic idea. We are inching closer to paying off my student debt and our wedding and having this money at the end of the year to either clear the balance left or splurge on something fun is brilliant. Thanks for sharing such a simple but brilliant idea 😀
Natalie says
You are most welcome! It sounds like you have some great uses to spend it on
Norma says
Thanks, very much, for this; my niece introduced it to me at the start of the year, I use a reminder on my phone to help me and love the idea that I am working to a goal that I might actually achieve this year!
Do you have a copy that I can edit myself so that I can type in my payment dates myself?
