Our project has reached the home stretch - only a month is left until the end! There will be no losers in the Big Challenge. Get more points - get an iPhone XR, less - but become the best version of yourself. And everyone who earns more than 70% of points in at least one of the challenges will have the opportunity to win a trip for two to Thailand.

1. Find out what you are capable of

There will not be a special time in life for working on yourself. You will always have other things to do, lack of sleep and lack of hours in the day. Therefore, you just need to start changing your life right now. Find out what you are capable of when you use yourself to the fullest. And we will keep an eye on you so that you do not lose motivation. Weekly classes, communication in a closed VKontakte group for participants and our reminders will help you not to abandon the challenge and self-development.

2. Learn to make a family budget

You need to calculate income and expenses every month. Filling out the budget will take you only a couple of hours, but you will be able to understand what unnecessary spending prevents you from saving money and living in such a way that in the last week before your salary you will not be left with an empty wallet.

You can draw up a plan in a notebook, in a table on a computer, or in a special application. And how to do it correctly, we will tell you during the challenge.

3. Stop being dependent on money

Financial independence has six stages. The latter - abundance allows you to give up work, live on passive income and receive enough money to be enough for a carefree life, and to help relatives, and to start a business.

During the challenge, you will understand at what stage of financial independence you are and what to do to advance further.

4. Comprehend the art of investment

Even a small amount can be profitably invested. During the challenge, we will tell you which investments will bring the maximum profit, and also share the golden rules that all novice investors need to know. They are simple, but without them, you will not be able to comprehend the skill of cash deposits.

5. Save up for a dream

Whether you want to buy a car, move into your own apartment, or take a trip around the world, you need to start postponing today. To accumulate a large amount quickly and at the same time not deny yourself anything, you need to use the Save more tomorrow principle. We will tell you how to change it on the third week of the Saving Challenge.

6. Start earning more

One of the weeks of the Big Challenge is all about increasing earnings. You will learn which courses to enroll in and what skills to master in order to become the highest paid professional. And you will also understand how popular your profession will be in a couple of years, and, if something happens, you will have time to choose and master a new one.

7. Win a new iPhone or travel to Thailand

Your work on yourself will be rewarded not only with personal growth. Any completed task of the Big Challenge is points. Each month, the member with the most points earns an iPhone XR. Those who score more than 4,900 points will take part in the drawing of the main prize - a trip for two to Thailand. There is an opportunity to cheat a little: additional points are awarded for being active in the closed VKontakte group and for inviting friends to participate in the Big Challenge. We came up with this project together with Tinkoff, so only the bank's clients can accept our challenge. You can apply for a debit card directly on the challenge page. You will receive it within 1-2 days and you will be able to join the game.
