And The Mystery Challenge Is...
Today, one of the world’s most pressing problems is the global recession, which has had a devastating effect on individuals, communities, companies, and entire countries. Those who have been least affected know how to build financial reserves to draw upon and/or how to do more with less. However, many people around the world view these as difficult or unpleasant to do. Let's do something to change that!
Your challenge is to... MAKE SAVING MONEY FUN!
Create as much value and have as much impact as possible while making it fun to save money.
- Remember that "saving" can be defined in lots of different ways.
- Impact comes in many different forms: financial, educational, artistic, humor, awareness, behavior changing, relationship building, peacemaking, etc.
- And, of course, there are LOTS of ways to have fun!!
We encourage you to come up with products, services, experiences, or anything else you can imagine... Feel free to act locally or globally, and to think small or BIG.
You must actually implement your ideas and deliver results.
