Saving can be a tough nut to crack, especially when it feels like every penny is already accounted for. But here’s a little secret: saving just $1 a day? It’s doable, even if your budget feels stretched thin.

Imagine missing out on just one takeout coffee or that extra snack. Tiny changes like these can lead to impressive savings over time. You’d be surprised how they add up!

Now, I get it. Starting to save often means spending – on advice, on tools, and so on. And while there’s a sea of savings trackers out there, often with price tags on Etsy or Amazon, I wanted to give you something without strings attached. Why? Because I genuinely want to help you start your savings journey, without the catch. So, ta-da! My high-quality, $1 savings trackers are yours to use, absolutely free.

What is the $1 Savings Challenge?

You can choose from a variety of printable trackers, whether your goal is $30, $60, or $100, to help you monitor your progress and reach your savings target.

Three Printable Trackers for the $1 to $100 Savings Challenge

I’ve created three dollar trackers to help you save $100 (previews and download links below). Pick the one that resonates most with you, download, and print.

Design 1

The first tracker, adorned with a floral theme, is perhaps my favorite among the trio designed for the $100 savings goal. However, if you prefer more minimalistic designs, the next two might be right up your alley.
