How the plan works
Each week's amount is its week number in dollars. The schedule dates each one from your start date and keeps a running total. If you're paid every two weeks, choose that option: the plan adds two weeks together on each payday, so nothing changes about the total.
The weeks to watch
The last ten weeks ask for $43 to $52 each, close to $480 in total. If they fall in the holidays, consider running it backwards or starting at a different time of year. The chart can show what you planned. It can't stop the money being spent once it's in your account.

Questions
How much do you save in the 52-week challenge?
$1,378. That's $1 + $2 + $3 and so on up to $52.
Can I do the 52-week challenge every two weeks?
Yes. Choose every two weeks and the plan pairs the weeks, so you save $3, then $7, then $11, up to $103. The total is still $1,378 over 26 paydays.
Why do some people do it backwards?
Going up means the biggest deposits come last, which for a January start is December. Going backwards starts at $52 and ends at $1, so the hardest weeks are first.
Does it have to start in January?
No. Pick any start date and the 52 weeks run from there.
