52-Week Money Challenge Tracker

A fridge-ready 52-week tracker with your dates filled in — and two gentler versions if December is expensive.

Features

• All 52 weeks with dates generated from your start date — change one cell and the whole year re-dates
• Three versions side by side: Classic ($1 up to $52), Reverse ($52 down to $1) and Biweekly (26 bigger deposits)
• Running totals for every version, so you always know exactly where you stand
• Every version ends at the same $1,378 — pick the rhythm that fits your pay cycle
• Print-ready: one clean tracker to stick on the fridge or keep in a binder

How to use it

1. Enter your start date at the top of the Tracker tab
2. Choose your version: Classic for an easy start, Reverse if December is expensive, Biweekly if you're paid every two weeks
3. Each week, move that week's amount into savings and tick it off
4. Missed a week? Catch up the next week, or restart the count where you left off

Format: Excel (.xlsx — also opens in Google Sheets) + printable PDF
