365 Day Penny Challenge

The 365 Day Penny Challenge has grown very popular because everyone wants to save money. It sounds so easy to just save pennies!

The original challenge calls for you to save a penny for every day of the year.

For example, start with saving 1 penny on day one, 2 pennies on day two, and going all the way to day 365 saving 365 pennies on that day.

The problem for some people is that they start this challenge at the beginning of the year, which means they end this challenge in December.

December tends to be a very costly month because of the holidays.

From gifts to travel to food, we tend to spend more in December than any other month.

That makes it hard to SAVE MORE in the month of December.

The 365 Day Penny Challenge Reversed makes it easier to not have to save as much money in December.

By starting with saving more pennies and dwindling down to one penny, the challenge becomes easier.

Then when December rolls around, you have nice size savings, without much effort.

To start the Penny Challenge in Reverse you will save $3.65 on your first day, then add $3.64 on the next day, continuing for one year going down 1 cent a day.

Then on your very last day, you will only be adding 1 penny to your savings with the grand total being $667.95! Not too shabby for a bunch of pennies!

Money-saving challenges are awesome because they really work.

It really doesn’t take much to add up in the long run. Remember, you can’t have a dollar without a penny.

Really love the idea! When I was very young, my granddad would reach into his pocket and let me and my sister pick out all of the pennies. It worked until we figured out that dimes were worth more! Late start but I'm adding up what I should already have now!!!

Just added this to my New Year’s goal ideas. The challenge in reverse is a good idea. And the printout can easily be added to a planner for challenge accountability. Thanks for sharing.

Love this idea. I haven't tried it but I empty my change purse daily and add it to a vacation jar. Although I don't use much cash so it doesn't add up to but probably no more than $5 a week but it's better than nothing.
