Save Up for Something You Want
8 weeks · 3 milestones
Pick a specific savings goal — an item, an experience, or a target amount — write it down before you start, and track your progress every week for at least 6 weeks until you hit it. The goal must be real and achievable with your actual income or pocket money. Proof is your written goal at the start, a weekly savings tracker, and evidence you reached the target (bank screenshot, purchase receipt, or a photo of what you saved for).

Before you can save toward anything, you need a specific written goal and a clear record of where you are starting. Write down the item you are saving for, its exact cost, your target date for reaching the goal, and how much money you currently have. A goal you can track is completely different from a goal you only remember — writing it down is step one of the proof.
Proof required
Share your written goal showing: the item you are saving for, its exact cost, your target date, and your starting balance or weekly income. A photo of a handwritten goal sheet, a screenshot of a notes app, or a simple document all count. Accepted verifiers: peers, teachers, or parents.
What gets checked
- Goal is specific: names the item and its exact price — 'save more money' is not a goal; 'save £120 for a new pair of trainers by 1 September' is
- Starting point is documented: includes either a current savings balance or a record of recent weekly income showing what is realistic
- Target date is in the future and plausible: given the starting point and the income or allowance, the timeline should be achievable with genuine effort
