I want to tell you all something...
I have never been able to save money consistently. I mean never ever. My savings account would have complained years ago about "lack of activity" if it could talk.
I'm the woman who can plan a trip across the country, find a coupon code in three minutes, and live in a 24 foot space with her husband for 5.5 years, but ask me to save money ...
Whew, chile.
I am officially committing to saving $25 a week, so 2026 will see a new me, or at least a more disciplined version of me.
You are never too old to create new habits!
I know $25 doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you... That's $1,300 sitting there smiling back at me 52 weeks later. And for someone who once saved $50 and thought she was going to be on CNBC, that's a big win!
And because I know myself..I need structure, accountability, and something cute enough to make me want to save so, I got this savings book right here:
This little workbook is about to keep me honest! By the way they have a variety of colors to choose from.
It doesn't have to be hard to save money. It's still worth it to start small, especially if you keep doing it. And for a lot of us over 50, the real problem is staying consistent (with money, fitness, and everything else).
This is what I'm doing:
- Saving $25 each week
- Putting it in my challenge book
- Treating it like something I can't change, like my morning walk and how much water I drink.
This is the exact tool: https://amzn.to/3YaAR9j
You can do this too, even if you've tried, failed, tried again, and failed again.
A simple plan and a group of people doing it with you can make the difference between "I wish" and "I did."
