Bloggin' on a Budget || Savings Week 8-9

Hi ya'll!

Hope you remembered to put your $8 (or $16 if you're doubling up like me) in the bank as a part of our 52 weeks of savings. If not it's not too late to add your Week 8 savings and you it's never too early to put in your Week 9 savings.

Some of you may be flying through this and thinking "$8 (or $16) a week is a piece of yummy homemade chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing. I can do this all year long". Then you happen to catch a glance at week 52 and you think you yourself. "Self, I'm not sure if I can do $49 (or $98), $50 (or $100), $51 (or $102), and $52 (or $104) during December of this year. That's $152 (or $304) during the month when I usually spend the most." Well before you start biting your nails down to the stub I have a solution for you.

Start backwards. Or jump around (jump up, jump up and get down). If you find yourself during week 10 with enough money to cover some of the later weeks, go ahead and put that in now and mark that week off of your list. As long as you hit all of the weeks before the end of the year, you'll end up putting in the exact same amount. So if you know that December you'll be strapped for cash, switch December for March. Or maybe you're going on vacation in September and won't have any extra money then? Swap April for September. Or random weeks for other random week. Hell, put all of the money in your account now when you get your tax refund and call it a  year day. I don't care how you do it as long as you do it!

Sound like a plan? Well get to it skippy!

Until next time...
