The Budget Challenge: 25 SBD Pool Rewards

smaeunabs (62)in #thebudgetchallenge • 6 years ago (edited)

There are numerous contests or challenges here on Steemit that became very successful since they create that excitement for self-improvement and skill development for our fellow Steemians.

Some of which are still running up to now such as #sevendaybnwchallenge #collorchallenge #openmic #memechallenge and other challenges related to Arts, Photography, Life, Music, etc. Recently, @maverickinvictus’ “A 2018 Vision Board Contest” really made a blast at the beginning days of this year. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to join the contest since I have already written a post related to it, but I encouraged my friends to participate on the said challenge. I can feel how excited they were while creating those Vision Boards.

After posting an article on how I manage my personal budget, I was thinking of having a contest as well since I believe asking “How about you’s” isn’t enough to encourage my fellows to start having or enhancing their budget plans. Those 2018 Vision Boards surely entails financial necessities and I think having a budget plan is one of the best ways to realize those visions. Will this challenge excite the Steemians as well? I hope so.

I have posted countless finance-related articles lately. But this time, I want to bring it up to a higher level. I am initiating this #thebudgetchallenge which is very far from the challenges you guys are familiar with. This is basically a finance-related challenge that could aid our fellow Steemians with their financial growth, and I am planning to do this often, maybe once a week.

Are you ready for the first ever #thebudgetchallenge?

#thebudgetchallenge No. 1: “The Budget Plan”

“Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”.png

This is my previously-made article about my personal budget plan entitled “What Is Your Budget Principle?”

I hope having this initiative will encourage you, my fellow Steemians, to take your finance budgeting seriously. I am positively looking forward for your continuous application of this financial journey even after joining this contest for I believe the biggest challenge is not creating a budget plan nor having a budget principle, but the consistency of sticking with it.
