Try the BINGO Savings Challenge Monthly!

Saving money doesn’t have to be boring—especially when you turn it into a fun game! The BINGO savings challenge is a creative way to motivate yourself and your family to save, whether you’re a teen, kid, or adult. It’s simple to set up, easy to follow, and customizable to fit any savings goal. By turning savings into a game, you'll stay motivated and watch your goals add up in no time. Ready for a fun month of saving? Here’s how to get started:

• Create Your BINGO Board: Draw a 5x5 grid or use a printable template. Fill each square with a savings goal that fits your current stage in life. Some ideas for different stages include:

  • Teens & Kids: Save your allowance, put aside spare change, skip a snack and save the cash, save birthday money or gift cards.

  • Couples: Set a goal to save for a shared emergency fund, a special vacation, or date nights.

  • Wedding Planning: Save for wedding expenses, like the dress, venue, or honeymoon.

  • Home Buyers: Save for your home down payment, inspection fees, or closing costs.

  • Car Buyers: Set aside money for a down payment on a car or start a car maintenance fund.

  • Retirement Planning: Add to your retirement fund each month, whether it’s an IRA or 401(k).

    
    

• Start Saving: Every time you hit a goal, mark off that square. Try to complete a row, column, or even the whole board!

  
  

• Make It Fun: Get the whole family or partner involved! Compete to see who can fill their BINGO card first, or work together to achieve your savings goals.

By the end of the month, you’ll have a nice little savings stash—whether it's for short-term goals like a family trip or long-term dreams like retirement—and you’ll have had fun doing it! Let the challenge begin!
