September’s Already Half Over – A Saving Nudge

0 Flares Twitter 0 Facebook 0 Filament.io 0 Flares ×

Well here we are, mid way through September already. Am I nuts, or is this time going faster and faster?

Christmas decorations are popping up in stores (Hobby Lobby, JoAnn’s, etc…) and admittedly I have already started picking up a few holiday gifts. When I did I used the Capital One debit card (NOT a credit card!) to make the purchase. The debit card is linked to the money I’ve been depositing weekly as part of the 52 Week Saving Challenge. We’ve earmarked that money to be for holiday shopping. What are you saving your money for?

A vacation? Towards a new vehicle?

Whatever the reason, saving money little by little is smart and simple.

This is week 37 of the challenge;  deposit $37 or $16 if you are working the plan backwards.

Remember the goal is a whopping $1378 at the end of the year! You can read more about this way to save money here.

To refresh your memory, here are both deposit schedules (depending on if you are working the traditional plan or the backwards plan):

Whatever you happen to be doing this weekend, we hope it is fun!

Oh, and if you are interested in getting your own 100% fee free Capital One debit card, you can learn more about it here.

Happy saving, and enjoy your weekend.
