I don’t know if I shared my savings plan with you at the beginning of last year. I saved each week until the pandemic hit and stopped.
I’m going to try again this year.
Here is how it works:
Get 52 envelopes. Mark envelopes 1 – 52. Each week pick an envelope. Whatever number is on the envelope is the amount of money that is put into the envelope.
Total saved for the year is $1,378.
I bought cute neon envelopes, but there was only 50 on the box so I had double up on two envelopes.
In the top left corner I wrote Date Pulled so I can write the date I put the money in the envelope.
I bought a cute little box from the consignment shop to put them in.
This is the envelope I picked.
I put the money in the envelope and the envelope in the box.
Hopefully I’ll be able to save the whole year.
I’ll let you know my progress each month.
I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the money. I’m just grateful that I have a job and am able to start my saving plan.
Yeah me!

Great. I also do something like that, but with new notes and coins. I don’t have 52 envelopes. I have different coloured envelopes and put in uncrushed and new notes of Aussie Dollars in $5, 10, 20, 50 and rarely 100. In my case if I need to pay a bill and not having enough, I use that amount. But try to replace and keep on adding as much as possible.
In my case I have been able to buy a few things. And in addition to my usual old Laptop, recently I was able to buy “The latest of the Laptops called ” The Idea Pad”. A very small Laptop with the mouse. So that I can carry it around especially to do the websites.
Best of Luck. I sincerely hope you will be able to “Save” enough and much more that you need also. Many Blessings from me ❤ ❤ ❤
