how to save money

You might not be able to tell by the weather over the last few days, but it's almost May, which means we're 1/3 of the way done with the 52-Week Money Challenge!

The year is flying by, and the challenge continues! Hopefully saving up is starting to feel like a good habit, and it's important to keep it going!

Alright savers, we're almost a third of the way through this challenge...don't stop now!

Lucky number week 13 is here...though we don't need luck to ace this challenge!

We've reached week 12 of our 52-Week Money Challenge, and we're making amazing progress. Do not quit now!!

It's week 11 of the 52 week Money Challenge, and we're making steady progress! We've also reached a very cool milestone.

As we wrap up this first week on March, we all have an eye on spring -- that time of year when we think about fresh starts, spring cleaning, blooming flowers and all that goes along with a milder season. It's a good time to start thinking about 'spring cleaning' your budget too!

With another birthday here, I should probably reflect on what I've learned in the last year or something, right? I have no interest in being all philosophical, but I will tell you one thing this challenge has taught me. Even on special occasions, keep saving.

Today is my big brother's birthday, and mine is just a week away, and it really got me thinking about the idea of saving over time...and how this money challenge can really help you save big if you stick with it! Let's break it down:

We are 7 weeks into our 52-Week Money Challenge, and if you're resolve is fading, we have a little motivation for you!

Hopefully at this point, saving is starting to feel more like a routine than a chore. We're making great progress, but we have a long way to go!

As we wrap up January, (I know, I can't believe it either!) you should feel really proud knowing you've stuck with your New Year's Resolution for a full month, with no signs of stopping!
