Countdown to December Savings Challenge
December celebrations begins with a year of smart saving
Challenge Description
Are you tired of scrambling for cash when emergencies strike, unexpected expenses pop up, or money gets tight? Imagine the peace of mind that comes with having an extra $2,000 stashed away in a savings account, ready to cushion you during times of financial stress.
The Countdown to December Savings Challenge helps you save throughout the year to provide you a savings cushion just when you need it most. This challenge not only prepares you for unexpected expenses but also considers the increased spending during the holiday season, ensuring you’re financially ready for every occasion.
This adaptive savings challenge helps you start strong by saving more money at the beginning of the year and gradually decreasing the amount as the holidays approach, easing the financial strain during peak spending times. Instead of maintaining a constant savings amount, the Countdown to December Savings Challenge adjusts your savings based on how many months are left until December.
When paired with a high-yield savings account, you will exceed the $2,000 savings goal within one year of starting.
How it Works
In January, with eleven months until December, you save $11 per day. In February, you save $10 per day, $9 per day in March, and so on, reducing by one dollar each month. By November, with only one month left until December, you save just $1 per day. This daily or monthly savings challenge aligns with your financial needs throughout the year, making it easier to stay committed and achieve your goal.
By following this plan, you’ll save a total of $1,998 by the end of the year. Combine this with the interest from a high-yield savings account, and you’ll surpass the $2,000 mark. You can choose to save this amount daily or monthly.
The Daily Breakdown:
January: Save $11 per day (11 months from December)
February: Save $10 per day (10 months from December)
March: Save $9 per day (9 months from December)
April: Save $8 per day (8 months from December)
May: Save $7 per day (7 months from December)
June: Save $6 per day (6 months from December)
July: Save $5 per day (5 months from December)
August: Save $4 per day (4 months from December)
September: Save $3 per day (3 months from December)
October: Save $2 per day (2 months from December)
November: Save $1 per day (1 month from December)
Or Save by the Month:
January: 31 days x $11 = $341
February: 28 days x $10 = $280 (or $290 in a leap year)
March: 31 days x $9 = $279
April: 30 days x $8 = $240
May: 31 days x $7 = $217
June: 30 days x $6 = $180
July: 31 days x $5 = $155
August: 31 days x $4 = $124
September: 30 days x $3 = $90
October: 31 days x $2 = $62
November: 30 days x $1 = $30
This approach helps you manage your finances more effectively, especially as the end of the year approaches and holiday expenses begin to mount.
The Countdown to December Savings Challenge is a practical and effective way to save $2,000 in one year while taking into account the increased expenses during the holiday season. By starting strong and gradually decreasing your savings amount as the holidays approach, you’ll begin to build your nest egg without feeling the financial strain. Pair this challenge with a high-yield savings account to maximize your earnings and achieve your financial goals with ease.
