How to Use This Printable

Print the sheet and put it somewhere you'll see it often before the trip.
Each time you save, set aside the dollar amount shown on the next box.
Color or check off that box.
Fill boxes in any order that suits your budget, they don't need to go in sequence.

How the increasing amounts work

Each box asks for a slightly larger deposit than the last, from $1 up to $25, so the challenge starts easy and the total builds up faster than a flat amount per box would.

Fitting it around a trip timeline

Starting as soon as a trip is booked gives the most time to fill all 25 boxes comfortably; starting closer to departure means filling boxes more often, or skipping ahead to larger amounts sooner.

What to do with the finished total

Move the $325 into the trip's own budget on the Vacation Budget Planner once the sheet is full, so the saved money has a clear job instead of blending back into everyday spending.

Ideas for Using This Printable

Start it as soon as you book the trip, so the fund is ready before you travel.
Use it alongside the Vacation Budget Planner for the spending side once you're there.
Try the 52-Week Money Challenge instead if you want a bigger fund over a longer stretch.
