Free · Savings challenge

New Home

Victoria and Sam just moved in together. Security deposit, first month's rent, a couch, pots and pans for two: a place of your own costs money before you ever get the key. This challenge helps you save toward your goal one step at a time, whether it's your first apartment, a dorm room, or something else entirely.

Free, no sign-up, no email.

Get started

50 circles, one goal

Victoria holds up the new key at the apartment door, Sam stands behind her, smiling

Your circles will stay saved in this browser, even after you close the page. We can't see any of it. Without the checkmark, everything resets when you reload.

How it works

  1. Pick your goal and write the amount next to “Goal,” for example your security deposit and first month's rent.
  2. Split the amount across the 50 circles. Example: $1,000 across 50 circles is $20 per circle. Or mix small and large amounts.
  3. Every time money goes into the envelope or jar, color in a circle.
  4. All circles filled? Write the date next to “Done” and the total next to “Saved.”

Print the PDF at 100 % (actual size). The A6 page fits standard A6 budget binders.

Two tips from Victoria and Sam

Emergency fund first, then the couch.

Sam

A plan written in pencil is allowed to change.

Victoria

What the two of them argue about along the way is in the story “We can afford it.”
