52-Week SAVINGS Challenge and $1 Challenge UPDATE l 6 MONTHS DONE

Hi y'all! Today I'll be counting out the money I've saved with the 52-week and $1 SAVINGS challenges. We're about halfway through the year, which is CRAZY to think. It really has flown by.
Hope y'all enjoy! Much love, Alex. :)

    I'd suggest if some of it's just purely for savings - long term, buy some silver bullion, even if just 5-10% or your savings, start with 1 oz coin. Precious metals hold their value over time a lot better than cash or cash sitting in the bank

  • @budgiebug8097

    @budgiebug8097

    4 жыл бұрын

    Thank you! 😊 The reason I personally prefer cash over debit is because I have a very impulsive brain. It’s easier for me to carry the cash and run out of money and just stop spending. With a debit card, I will transfer from my savings if I run out of money, which I have done plenty of times before I started the cash envelope method. I have drained my savings account more times than I can count over the years. It’s really just preference. I know some people would probably have enough self control to track spending with a card and be very successful. Unfortunately, I don’t. ☹️ I do use my debit card for bills though! Those all stay in my account and get deducted as they’re due. I hope that made sense!

    Hey! I want to share that I live in Pakistan, where children don't work until they are graduated. All the expenses are paid by their parents and even that they don't allow their children to work , so that they can focus more on their studies. In this situation, students face financial problem because they get a fixed amount of money monthly, that's just for their transport, food and stationery stuff. They don't have extra money to spend on every weekend outings and parties etc. I want to buy iPhone but I don't have extra money to save up for phone. If you have any tips or tricks please share.

    I have a sort of question that kinda relates. So I am 17 and I’m going to be a senior and I have a pretty good part time job so I have been able to save. I have quite a bit in my checking and I only spend from that and I always try and put a little in my checking I have almost 1k. So I have decided to save 10k for college weather that be a car or for school (preferably a car since I would most likely have to drive a lot since I live in a rural area) and I am also saving about 1k for a MacBook Air which is the computer I want to use which I may or may not get right away. Would you think this is enough? I have about 5k already and I would like to save both of those amounts by the end of senior year.
