2027 Savings Challenge

Make 2027 the year your savings finally grow.

The 2027 Savings Challenge turns saving into a game you can actually stick with. Pick the classic 52-week challenge or set your own goals, then watch your progress add up. Use the printable pages, the Excel workbook, or both. Part of the Sunmeli 2027 Money Planners collection.

WHAT'S INSIDE (4 printable pages)

1. Start Here: how to get the most from your printables
2. The Classic 52-Week Challenge: save $1 in week 1 up to $52 in week 52, for $1,378 by December
3. Custom Savings Challenge: set your own goal and weekly amounts
4. Sinking Funds: save a little each month for holidays, car repairs, and other planned costs

EXCEL WORKBOOK

• Choose your style: start small, start big, or save the same amount every week
• Goal progress bar and an on-track check that shows if you're ahead or behind
• Sinking funds planner that works out how much to save each month

DETAILS

• 4 printable pages (PDF) + 1 Excel workbook (.xlsx)
• US Letter size, also prints on A4
• Low-ink design to save on printing

WHAT YOU'LL DOWNLOAD

2027-Savings-Challenge.zip, which unzips to a folder named 2027-Savings-Challenge containing:

• 2027-Savings-Challenge.xlsx (the Excel workbook)
• 2027-Savings-Challenge-Printable.pdf (the 4-page printable)

WHICH APP TO USE

• Designed for Microsoft Excel and tested in Excel for the web.
• Also tested in Google Sheets, both opened directly and converted to Google Sheets format. The savings schedule, on-track check, and sinking funds work there, with two differences: Excel's colored progress bars don't appear (the text progress bars still show), and Google Sheets doesn't lock the formula cells, so type only in the shaded cells.
• Not yet tested in desktop Excel (Windows or Mac) or Apple Numbers.
