For the first few months it's very easy. For instance for January you only have to save $1 for week one, $2 for week two, $3 for week three, and $4 for week four. Which when you total it you are saving $10 dollars. When it came to the month of July, saving money became a bit harder. There are 5 weeks in July. So for July I had to save $27 for week twenty-seven, $28 for week twenty-eight, $29 for week twenty-nine, $30 for week thirty, $31 for week thirty-one. So in total for the month of July I had to put away $145. So as you can see as the year goes on the harder it gets. What I did was I started to put this money in a separate account. This was easier so I could see what I was saving. By the end of the year if you follow this chart, you'll have $1,378.00 saved. When all is said and done this could be some good motivation to save up for a vacation!
John & I wanted to do this for our honeymoon next year. It was nice to see someone's perspective on it. We're still considering it since we're only a couple weeks behind.
