Hi DISers! I started to do the 52 week money challenge last year but due to unexpected bills was unable to continue, but I want to begin the New Year trying it again, who has done it?
Love your Disney Jar!!Here is an example of the 52 week challenge
There is a PDF that you can print off and check off as you do it.
I also found for me that doing it backwards was better.
Have Fun!

This year I am doing a Mickey Mouse money jar and putting in $20.00 every month,plus any extra I have left over from my Budget.
I don't do it because I think it's a little gimmicky and I prefer a steadier, consistent approach to saving money (for Disney or anything else). As you learned, unexpected expenses and the ever-increasing weekly amounts have a way of derailing your resolve.Hi DISers!

Love this idea so fun!!!!I've done this the last several years, in addition to my regular savings however I know every family is different but every little bit does add up!
What I've done since I started this, I print the entire page and cut each dollar strip out and put in a jar and on the designated day of the week, I draw one of the strips ranging from $1 to $52 so it keeps it fun and random. I transfer the funds to my "travel account" in ING (now Capital One) and it's extra money for vacations.
Have fun,
