Every January we launch this savings challenge to help people start their year right by creating great saving habits and to build a nice pot of money to help them start their investing journey or to pay for \u201cthings\u201d rather than borrowing from the banks or the credit union.<\/span><\/div>\n

Loads of people get involved every year because it\u2019s simple to follow and easy to stick with as time goes by. There are 2 versions, the beginner where you can save \u20ac5,000 or the advanced to save \u20ac8,000 so there\u2019s an option to suit your pocket.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The beginner’s challenge has you save \u20ac20 in week one, \u20ac35 in week two, \u20ac45 in week three, and \u20ac125 in week four and so on. By the end of the challenge, you\u2019ll have saved \u20ac5,000.<\/span><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re up for an advanced challenge in 2024, start saving \u20ac150 every week and occasionally throw in an extra \u20ac16 over the \u20ac150 every alternative payday until the first week of September. By the end of the year, you\u2019ll have saved \u20ac8,000.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.askpaul.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SAVINGS-CHALLENGE-ADVANCED-1.jpg” alt=”askpaul Saving challenge – Advanced” title_text=”SAVINGS CHALLENGE ADVANCED ” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
