If you’ve been following us for long, you know we talk about baby steps. And we’re not going back on that – not.one.bit! But we have found that sometimes you just need a little push, a little nudge, even a little carrot dangling in front of your nose for just a short while to get you moving. And the carrot we are dangling today is the idea of finding extra money – that you didn’t know you had – to add to your budget and meet your financial goals!
That’s where our challenge to Save $1,000 in just 30 Days (as part of our Take Back Your Finances Challenge) comes in. And one great tool to kick that task off is our Penniless Week Challenge – a challenge designed to help you live penniless for just one week but have more money to use at the end for whatever financial goal or debt you are working towards!
Yes – we know that this is a challenge to love or hate – and we have heard many of those passionate on both sides tell us so. But we also believe that those that have adopted and joined us for this challenge have LOVED it even more!
First, we don’t want you to be worried – there are exceptions to what you can spend money on (we’re not asking you to give you special events, holidays, or even transportation to your job) and there are rules to keep you going and make the most of this challenge! So our first challenge to you is to read all about the Penniless Week Challenge to find out just what we are talking about!
But we also promised that we would give you a few days to get ready and prepare for your “penniless week.” There are some ways you can prepare now to get ready to get started. But instead of restating it all here – we direct you to all the information you need here:

So is this only for those who are a part of our Take Back Your Finances Challenge? Of course not! This is for one and all who want to see real change in their finances – and use this challenge to help you kickstart your family towards your desire to meet your financial goals!

Hi Leslie,
It’s all about finding and making money outside of the money you bring home – that’s the goal! So no matter what you make normally, we hope the tips shared will help you find that extra $1,000 in the next 30-days. More information is found here: https://thethriftycouple.com/2015/01/31/take-back-your-finances-challenge-4-saving-1000-in-the-next-30-days/
Hopefully that helps. 🙂
