What is the Envelope Challenge?
The Envelope Challenge is an enjoyable and easy method of saving money over a specific period. In this challenge, you label envelopes from 1 to 30, 50, 52, or 100 (or place them in the same envelopes) and suggest saving amounts for each day or week. By saving the target amounts in each envelope, your savings will significantly grow by the end of the challenge.
How to Use Our Envelope Challenge Templates
We provide several different envelope challenge templates for you to choose from on our website. Each one varies in timeframe and total savings goal.
-
For those who want to save $10,000 as quickly as possible, we offer a 100-Day Challenge (which can also be used as a 100-Week Challenge if you prefer a less aggressive approach). With this option, you save $100 in each envelope. If you save the designated amount in each envelope every day, your total savings will be $10,000 at the end of 100 days.
For a less aggressive savings goal over the same timeframe, we also offer a 100-Day Challenge to save $5,050. With this option, Envelope #1 suggests saving $1, Envelope #2 suggests saving $2, and the amount increases by $1 each time until the 100th envelope suggests saving $100.
-
For those looking for a shorter challenge, we provide a 50 Envelope Challenge template as well. This challenge can be completed in just 50 days/weeks with goals of saving either $5,000 or $1,275.
-
We also have longer-term challenges spread over a full year. Our 52-Week Challenge can help you save $5,200 or $1,378 by the end of the year.
-
For those who want to save money over just one month, try our 30-Day Envelope Challenge to stash away $3,000 or $465.
