Did you know… If you save $1.00 to equal the week of the year a the end of the year you will have saved $1,378. So, week 1 you save $1.00, week 2 you save $2.00, etc. Saving a little each week may be easier to do than trying to save a large sum in a specific amount of time. In addition to yourself, this may be a great challenge for a working teen in your life.
