We’ll Pay You $5,000 to Save Money for 30 Days

Big dreams often require big savings, and one way to build up your bank is to kick your costly habits. Starbucks and DoorDash might seem like quick and convenient ways to treat yourself, but we’re big believers in swapping the spendy stuff in favor of finding financial freedom.

Life’s expenses can be surprising, but cutting back on at least one thing adds up in the long run.

At The Penny Hoarder, we’re all about empowering people to make smart choices with their money. To help someone jumpstart their savings account, we’re going to pay one person $5,000 to kick one of their most persistent spending habits and save money for 30 days — that’s long enough to find a new, happier way to hoard your pennies.

If you’re looking for a fun challenge to change up your spending habits, apply now!

What’s the Job?

We’re hiring a Penny Hoarding Specialist to curb one area of their spending while they kick start their savings account. If selected, you’ll track your spending and saving during the 30 days and report back to us on the experience.

The challenge could be as simple as spending less on something by staying home or replacing one habit with another, more frugal one. And if you need help with your budget, try one of our favorite expense tracking apps.

Who Are We Looking for?

If you know you could cut out one expense in your life to save more, we’d like to hear from you. We’re open to all kinds of ideas, but here are a few examples of what we might like to see:

• Do you always make a stop at the coffee shop to buy a large drink and treats? Make your morning brew at home instead and enjoy the view from your window.
• How many times did you order delivery last month? You could try meal planning more with your family — make it a fun group activity.
• Are you an online shopping superstar? Maybe you’ll love the idea of becoming a thrift store hero and posting your favorite finds.

What Will You Get?

Our Penny Hoarding Specialist will receive $5,000 as payment for completing the challenge and we’ll interview you for a story in The Penny Hoarder!

What Will You Do?

After being selected for the job, you’ll cut out one costly habit for 30 days and funnel that money into savings, tracking your progress each week during the challenge. We’ll also want you to keep notes of how you’re feeling about the experience.

Once the 30 days are up, you’ll report how much money you saved and how the challenge went. (Was it easier or harder than you thought? Did you stumble along the way? What advice would you give someone else trying this challenge?)

Dates and Details

Applications are open from August 30, 2021, to September 19, 2021.

We’ll announce our Penny Hoarding Specialist on September 30.

How Do You Apply?

Start Building Your Savings

We’re happy you checked out this savings challenge and hope you plan on applying. Although we’ll select only one candidate, we know everyone could use some friendly tips and reminders to keep their cash flow going toward savings.

We also recognize that the pandemic left millions with wiped-out emergency savings, and now up to 31% of Americans have trouble saving as much as they used to. But hopefully, by avoiding overspending and protecting your financial future during the pandemic, you can get back on track.

We all want more financial freedom and less money-related stress. Check out our other articles:
