Savings Challenge






We all know that money isn't something that stays in your wallet forever, one way or another you will have to be forced to buy something you need and mostly want. But this challenge that was given to us last November really challenged me, i had to be mindful of what i spend on a daily basis and maintaining the budget I was given. Basically we were challenged to save a certain amount of money each day for a month while listing our expenses each day and subtract it to our budget and whats left is what we save. The first week of the challenge was fine i could save a good amount each day, but after a few weeks i couldn't save anything at all because of lots of projects and lots of paying for events and stuff it even went as far as me overspending my budget. By the last two days I was able to save at least and after that the class was grouped together to spend our saving by buying gifts for the maintenance of our school. After computing our total budget I was tasked of buying the gifts, we decided to give noodles and canned goods because the problem with clothes is not knowing the right size so food was the obvious choice. I went to a grocery store while on my way home to buy the food , and after that I went home. The next day we gave the canned good and noodles to our assigned member of maintenance and when we gave it to him he was surprised and after giving it to him it felt great to use my savings to help someone else.
