Another month gone, another Lifehacker Ultimate Money Challenge completed. This month, we saved our spare change to see how much extra we could save without much effort. How’d it go?


August’s challenge was an easy one to implement, and we suggested a few tools to make it even easier. Automatic savings tools like Digit and Qapital, for example, link to your accounts and make it simple (and even kind of fun) to set rules for saving. The idea was to simply round up all of your purchases this month, then use that savings toward your financial goals: paying off a credit card, saving for an emergency, and so on.


If you joined us, tell us how you did. How much did you save this month to throw at your money goals? Then come back tomorrow for September’s challenge!
