Printable Track Sheet

Looking for a quick way to boost your savings? The 30-Day Savings Challenge is a simple, short-term plan that helps you save $500 in just one month—by setting aside $17 per day.

How It Works

The concept is straightforward:

  • Save $17 every day
  • After 30 days, you’ll have $510 (a little extra for good measure!)
  • Perfect for building an emergency fund, planning a trip, or starting a savings habit.

Breaking your goal into daily steps makes saving feel achievable. Instead of stressing over $500 at once, you focus on small, consistent actions.

Tips to Make It Easy

  1. Automate Your Savings
    • Set up a daily or weekly transfer to your savings account.
  2. Use Cash Envelopes
    • Put $17 in an envelope each day – watch your savings grow!
  3. Cut Back on Extras
    • Skip a coffee or snack and redirect that money to your challenge.
  4. Track Your Progress
    • Use a savings tracker to stay motivated and see your progress.
