How it's worked out

The challenge is simple: in week 1 you set aside the base amount, in week 2 double, in week 3 triple… up to week 52. With a €1 base, by the end of the year you have €1,378.

If the end of the year is harder, around the holidays, do it in reverse: start with the most expensive week while you're keen and finish with the cheapest.
