Save Over $1,000 for Christmas With A Weekly Plan

Hey there! I have a question for you… and I want you to really think about it before answering. Ready?

Are you still trying to recover from the holidays?

And be honest… did you dip a little into your savings? maybe put a few gifts on a credit card? or what about just feeling like you’re still running in circles?

Most of us would say yes to one of those questions or maybe you just feel that your progress has stalled since the start of the holiday season. Maybe you were saving more money each month and somehow the funds just aren’t there anymore. It happens.

When we get out of habits or when life happens, we tend to revert back to our old ways. That’s why I created a new challenge to help you get your finances back on track. Plus, this challenge is geared towards the 2019 holiday season, which means you will hopefully be better prepared and quicker to recover.

A few weeks ago I talked about how, on average, a family takes FOUR MONTHS to recover from the holidays. But here we are in February and most of us (me included) are still trying to make back ground in what we lost through November and December. We were fortunate enough to have enough money saved to pay for all of our Christmas gifts and even travel, BUT somehow the amount we put back into savings each month has slowly decreased month-by-month.

And I’m not happy with it.

You see, like you, we have big dreams and goals. I know that without saving the right amount each month that we have our sinking funds set for is a big no-no. It may not hurt us immediately with our finances, but it’s frustrating when you realize you won’t be able to reach your goals in the time frame you want.

That’s why this new challenge is perfect.

In today’s video I’m sharing with you how you can save over $1,000 between now and the week before Christmas. This money could be used for Christmas shopping or holiday travel …. or it could be used to help you get the new year off on the right foot.

As you saw in the video, the goal is clear. Have $1,000 the week before Christmas. I try to keep things simple by having one amount that you need to save each week – $22. Most of us can easily squeeze $22 a week out of our current budget. Maybe we don’t go through the drive-thru on our busy night and instead start a slow cooker meal. Maybe we pack our lunch for the entire family for the week and save MORE than $22.

Just remember – you got this! The goal isn’t to stress you out about your money, but to help you create a workable target. Keep your goal small – $22 a week. Don’t focus on having to save $1,000 in a few months that can seem overwhelming. Just focus on $22.
