How long does this challenge last?
1 March 2013 to 1 March 2014
What goes into the piggybank?
For every book I've read - €2.00 into the piggybank
(Amount can be individually altered, of course)
Rules
- For every book read, the money is inserted into the piggybank.
- This money is off limit until the end of the challenge, i.e. the piggybank stays closed.
- A list of the books read would be nice because that way we can perfectly observe the saving success.
- On 1 March 2013, the piggybank can be opened and you can go shopping extensively - or carry on reading and saving.
- Be consistent and put the money into the bank immediately, otherwise you will lose track easily.
- I will always make a tick behind the book as soon as I dropped in the money.
- It would be great if you start a page or an overview in your blog for the challenge. That way it is much easier to control the comments and the progress of your challenge. If you don't have a blog, you can leave a comment here on the challenge page (or on the original challenge page in German) about your opinion or your progress.
Go on. It is worthwhile in any care and you will certainly not regret it.
