              Great start to the challenge! If I am understanding this correctly, you are just having the amount taken out each week and then you need to figure out how to save that much with your everyday spending? Are there any specific areas that you are targeting?

                  And i am manually moving the money from checking over to savings so i can pick the amount based on what i know gets paid to bills each week.

                          And it's a great track thus far. The top three amounts are already off the list! Great job!

                            It will probably be less next week. Rent is due.

                              I had to drop my amount as well because our mortgage payment is due on the 1st. That's the reason I like the way this challenge is set up; we are still meeting our goal whether we pick one of the higher amounts or one of the lower amounts.
