Taking Part in the Challenge

In the Facebook group Peso Sense Savers Group, Annabell Degamo shared how she and her husband, Bioco Ricky took part in the 52 Weeks Challenge. According to her, they started last August 9, 2017, and everything is doing well until the 33rd week.

Unfortunately, her husband lost his job and they were not able to reach 52 weeks. They needed to use the money they saved as starting capital for the Motolite Business they were discussing.
