5 Dollar Challenge PDF

5 dollar challenge PDF savings tracker

This 5 dollar challenge sheet has you set aside every five dollar bill you receive and mark off one square each time. The squares add up to a savings goal of 500.

There are also spaces for a start date and a completion date.

How the 5 dollar challenge works

Each five dollar bill that comes your way goes into your savings, and you cross a square off the sheet to match. When the last square is marked, you write the completion date next to the start date you filled in on the first day, so the whole run has a visible timeline from beginning to end.

Who uses this savings challenge

The layout suits people who handle cash often and want to save for a vacation, an emergency fund or another personal goal. It also works for teaching children the value of money, since every marked square stands for one bill they've put away.
