## What is Money Challenges?

Three challenges to save and grow your money. Pick one, switch anytime.

THE 5050 CHALLENGE
The math is simple: 1 + 2 + 3 + … + 100 = 5050. A hundred buttons, each stamped with a different amount from 1 to 100. Set that amount aside in real life, then tap to mark it done. One at a time or several at once, at your own pace. Check off all hundred and you've saved exactly 5050.

• Choose your currency and what each button is worth, from 1 to 10,000
• Over 35 currencies supported
• Reminders daily, every few days, or monthly — or skip them and tap when the mood hits
• Every tap goes into History, with your savings chart and a daily streak

THE 52-WEEK CHALLENGE
Save a little more every week for a year. Check off each week as you set the money aside, and watch your total climb.

• Pick how many weeks to save for
• Choose how the amount grows: a rising step, a falling step, or the same amount each week
• Choose your currency and set a weekly reminder for your deposit day

THE COOL-DOWN CHALLENGE
Tempted by something? Don't buy it yet. Add it, set the price, and start a timer: 7 days, 30, or your own. The app waits, then nudges you when time's up. Still want it? Buy it. Lost interest? Skip it, and you save the money.

• Every skipped purchase counts toward the money you've saved
• Real money you didn't spend, tracked automatically
• Add a shop link or a note to your future self while you wait

No accounts. No subscriptions. Three simple ways to spend less and save more.

I’m glad I don’t have to waste envelopes…brilliant idea!

### 5/5 — Super simple!

*2021-09-27*

I’ve been trying to find exactly this for the 100 envelope challenge. Tap on the amount you’re depositing into whatever, tap again to get rid of it if it was a mistake. I like this much better than wasting paper and ink on a printable. Thank you!
