People really gotta switch back to using cash. There is science behind it; when we can SEE the money, we're less likely to overspend and have an easier time saving. Great savings! That's incredible
You really are right! I tested that out many times and I always do better with cash
It’s really difficult to use cash in the uk now, so many places have gone completely cash free and even transport is mostly cash free now.
I did find that I could mildly recreate cash stuffing by using a bank account that allowed me to divide my money into individual little pots so I could see exactly how much was left in my food budget, fun budget etc
Not the same as holding physical cash but at least my money isn’t all just in one big pot with no differentiation
Yes you definitely can do cash stuffing digitally. I know a bank here capital one allows to have multiple accounts like that. Overall it all takes work and discipline to be able to budget and consistently have an eyes view on your money. People have to do what works best for them. Cash stuffing definitely works for me and it works even better when I use cash instead of my credit cards. I can be more disciplined with cash. Also what gets me is I know overall I have money in the bank so going over my allotted amounts is a trap
I agree, I've managed to save 2.6 k in cash tips since November. I will lodge it eventually but looking at it makes me not want to spend any of it.
I agree. I studied abroad in Asia where cash is still king and I noticed I spent less because I was able to physically handle my money. With credit cards it’s easy to forget you paid/bought a lot in 1 day.
This is so inspiring, I love watching cash stuffing videos cause it stops my urge to buy anything I want everytime I have money with me. You did an amazing job.
Jenny I wish that worked for me but I have gotten so much better I have to say. I have been way more conscious about spending and saving.
I will be getting some of your challenges because I love that you have the amount on each one. I love it because it takes the guessing out and you see how close you’re getting to your goal and if you have to take some funds out of it you also see the amount that you have to put back. Thank God I found you around tax season. You’re saving challenges are going to be my gift to me. Thank you so much.
Awwwww Gina thank you! I’m glad these challenges will work great for you! I designed them to be as convenient as possible.
Wow that’s a great amount you have right there. You did an excellent job with saving your money. ❤
Thank you 🤗 A great start to 2025
Well I’m going to encourage everyone , I’m disabled from birth and in 2023 I set a yearly goal of $500 a year out my social security check, I saved $500 in 2023-and 2024 . As things increase I backed up for 2025 and I’m giving myself a minimum of $300 to save.. I do not touch this money and it’s in a high yield savings account, so even low income can save , start with coins, but I will tell you to start tracking every dime, yes it can be challenging but if you want to save you have to be disciplined… I was a coin saver for years raising my kids over 30 years , I stopped in 2023.. the high yield pays more interest.. just imagine a extra $40 at the end of the year on a $1000.. when you have folks that can’t buy $40 a week on these benefits in groceries.. .. it’s eye opening..
Yes Donna! You are right. Save anything you can. I save my coins too but I’m not cashing them in until the 5 gallon jar is full! That is good you were able to accomplish that. Congrats to you!!!
You did great with saving. I think debt and sinking funds is a good way to distribute the money.🎉💙
Yes That is exactly what I plan to do I just need to determine how much plus I get my bonus from work this week so I can make a huge debt payment
I really have to thank you for putting me on to credit card spending really posting that payback and making it and understandable process. You really took the fear out of credit cards for me. Thank you! Happy New Year and on to more savings!
Oh wow this is so good to hear!!!! Yes there is a way to make your credit work for you! If you can be responsible. I’m glad it’s working for you. I know it take work and discipline but it can be worth it!!!
@@sewkraftysanaa absolutely… I definitely have to do it with a budgeting system. For me it wouldn’t work without a budget and discipline.
Nice job. Glad you caught your opps. Happy 2025
Thanks! You too!
Woohoo you! 🎉
Loved hearing the delight in your voice as you realized you outdid yourself. ❤
OMGGGGGosh right. I could not believe it I swear I thought it would be much less because it did not seem like I was contributing often. But I am now determine to beat that for 2025
@sewkraftysanaa then you will 😘
Great video!😊 I saved $3000 in 2024❤❤❤
I use most of it to pay back my credit card and I am so mad at myself that I ran up my credit card. I won't do that this year either.
I keep charging and paying off the same &10,000 year after year. I need to figure this out.
Yes it happens it life Im just glad you saved the money to pay it off. From now on to control your credit card spending start paying teh card off each week. This way you know you will only spend what you know you can pay back not in case of an emergency then do what you have to to survive. period
Ok so when you look at it its an equal wash the thing is what are you spendingthe $10K on? Is it bills and necessities? So if you are anything like me everything your hear desires? LOL so which is it? I condone both ahahahahahah
I pay my credit card monthly and set my own personal limit. I only allow myself to spend around 8-16% of the credit limit. If i spend more i'll need to reduce other cost e.g. grocery etc.. and still force myself to pay off my credit card each month. It's a struggle but it gives me some peace of mind..
Congratulations on All your Savings Challenges you saved a whole lot.
Omg yes it was way more than I thought. I unknowingly save $7000 so cool! I can't waitto see what I can save this year!
Wow 🎉🎉🎉That is a big accomplishment!
I know right. i shocked myself! I hope I can keep the same energy and drive for 2025.
Ma'am 😂 that is waaay more than YOU thought lol
I know right ahahahha I was shocked and so happy I did accomplish that!!!

I am so excited for you. You have done a great job saving.🎉
Michelle thank you! I am equally excited and proud of this accomplishment.
Me and you are so opposite. I’m the boring one! Love your channel.
Ahahhahahaha nooo boring can be fun in its own way LOL surprisingly I consider myself boring too and so does everyone around me ahahahha
Great job! That took an insane amount of self restraint to save it and not touch it the whole year
Honestly It was like it wasn't even there. I never thought about it. That why I was shocked i actually saved that much!

Hey friend. Good job.
Hey, thanks LaKeyha!!!
🦋 You GO GIRL 🦋
Thank you my sisters! You already know where we need to save money to go........
@@sewkraftysanaa 💰💵💰2025
Question: Do you have debt that is accruing interest? If so, would you consider checking your challenges quarterly and applying the savings to debt as the money being stuffed in cash envelopes is not accruing interest of any kind
But you are losing interest on the debt.
Yes I have debt and that would be a good idea because I see the logic and how some view how can you save when you have debt literally. If I had to do that quarterly I would probably lose the drive to continue.
New subscriber here! And love watching this type of video!! Great job ♥ ♥
Hey Thank you so much for subbing. I have lots more cash stuffing and budget content you will enjoy!
Fabulous savings 💸
Thank you. We have been doing this for a minute now... My how we have progressed
Hi Sanaa! awesome savings 🎆🎆💙💙😊😊
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I love your envelope challenge 😊I wonder we're u buy those😊
Hey Thank youI sell them on my website. The links are in the description box of the video. www.sewkraftysanaa.com/savings-challenges
That’s awesome ❤
thank you if only I can just splurge with this money ahahaha butI have to start 2025 off right with my goals of paying down debt!
I wonder how much the total would be uf it was put into a HSA. Hust genuinely curious
I know right it’s a wonder
Amazing savings❤❤❤❤.
Thank you Odette!
Congratulations
Thank you!
That soo great!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!! I'm hype!
@ as you should be 🤴
Serious question on watching a couple videos now, what challenge would you recommend starting saving with?
Hey Pennies so I would start with how much do you have to contribute to save now also consider how much any challenge would cost you also. So out of my challenges if you are not able to contribute a lot then the $10 saving is great also the 600 ways to save. Now other budgeters also sell challenges that vary is cost and the amounts you can save. But from my line up the 600 ways to save give you the ability to save from small to large amounts
@@sewkraftysanaathank you so much I will try the 10 per week to start!
That's amazing!! What is the cash back rewards?
That is money I let accumulate from my credit card rewards
I need a buddy to do this with.
Tell me what you need. Someone to help you stay consistent and motivated?
Since you missed calculated do you know what the actual total is? Also you did an amazing job!!
Yes it was $7056 Thankbyou
😍😍😍😍🥳🎉 yasssss!!!
Right so hype!!!! Its all a win!
Hello.. great video ❤
Hey, thanks
Can you wash American money ? I would
Ahaha I would say yes sometimes money goes in the washing machine and comes out fine lol. That would be a lot of work ahahah
Great video! 🌸 🩷
Thank you!!
Where do you buy your envelope books from ?
Hey Becky I sale them on my website sewkraftysanaa.com
New subby here. Can’t wait to start my saving for this year. I want to opt into 1 more challenge book ! 🫶
Thanks for subbing!I know I am excited to see what I can do. I have so many so that no matter what I have a challenge for whatever My budget cam allow. That is why I designed my savings challenges to be able to suit all budget economic statuses.
I don’t understand why this savings isn’t in an account making interest!? I’ve seen several of these videos and it shocks me! Help me understand?
Hey just because I chose not to for personal/religious reasons. I’m not sure why others don’t.
@sewkraftysanaa Do you mind sharing your religious reasons? No worries if you do. I'm a believer of Jesus Christ, so I was just curious.
@QueenJosephine85 Ribaa (interest) is not permissible in Islam.
@@sewkraftysanaathis is really cool information! My issue with digital cash is im more apt to spend. I plan to get some saving challenges for college, and my cruise coming up. Happy savings!
Hello, You did SO WELL😊❤!
Thank you! 😄 and just think I felt like I was failing all year because I wasn't doing enough but to my surprise. I am proud of myself
Do you think you’re overwhelming yourself with so many challenges? Goal should be to finish what you have started. Anyway, great savings.
No I find the fun in the variety. The amount I saved accumulated to at least the completion of two or three challenges. Savings should be fun and work what’s best. Most times people try to only mimic to realize it doesn’t fit them so it was just fun and surprising. I will at least in 2025 try to complete The Monthly Savings Binder and set realistic goals for each month because I plan to jump around!
The variety keeps it from becoming stagnant. Great video!
Hi hun new sub big hugs from COco
Hey Coco Omg thank you for subbing welcome to my family!!!
MashaAllah 🎉💚💚💚
All blessing from Allah
You have 1,321 instead of 1,121.
OMGGGG thank you that is what I thought after watching the play back ahahahha it gets crazy you can always count on me to make a fumble
It’s 1,221 though. Right? One of those stacks of 5’s(adding to 100) was taken off the pile that made the 1000 (where the initial mistake was made). Or am I wiggin?
@@Lencii007 ahahahhahaha I thinking it’s 1321 I miss counted twice but I never recounted LOL I’ll have to check what I wrote down after the video
❤❤❤
congratulations on completing your saving challenges next time pleas use a calculator so you can have a running tab
Yes that would have been smart. I have a calculator sitting right next to me.
❤
The 600s saving challenge was 1221
Was it really! When I recounted yes I got a total of $7056. I do believe that is the one I miscounted. lol thank you
Hey Sanaa. Have you ever thought about going completely digital & maybe stuffing your envelopes with prop money just for representation. Don’t torture yourself if you hate touching real money. Love the video ❤
I’ve started doing all prop notes, bought a pack of UK prop notes on Amazon and just working on printing my own £1 notes because we don’t use them here anymore (sadface, they were so handy rather than coins) and I get envious of my US stuffing friends they don’t have to pad their envelopes out more with coins.
I don’t have to go to the bank which is kind of a hassle for me anyway, I don’t have to worry about security for my money and I can keep my money in the bank earning a bit of interest so it’s just easier. The only difference is the prop notes are paper and we use polymer notes now but I’m okay with that.
Ahahaha it’s not the same to me even doing digital it’s something about having real money that makes it doable for me. I’ve seen people do digital. I just need to wear gloves ahahahha but I wash wash really good and sanitize things down
@@sewkraftysanaathanks for using real money. I skip over all fake money videos! It isn’t the same. 😂
🎉🎉🎉👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ahahhahah your name is so befitting of me ahahah
@ 😂😂
You certainly don't save time. And you had to shell out a lot of cash for all those silly notebooks and accessories. Try direct deposit in a savings account and get on with your day!
How about you get on with your silly opinion and go about your life! You can save time by bypassing these comments!
All that money just looks nice but it’s the stupidest way to save/invest.. it’s losing value as it just sits in those folders and not gaining anything.
Bla bla bla
Was it your money. Or did you use your husband's money. Easy to use someone else.
Stop projecting
Use my husband’s money to do what???? Save??? Or stuff like be more specific however you must not know. I make very good money from my corporate job Aaaannnddddd my small business that I own and operate so please clarify your question so I can answer wait it’s a NO either way it all mine. I don’t factor in his money because he doesn’t budget. I have my own!
That ‘s amazing!
Thank you Love!
Great job on your challenges
Thank you 🤗
❤❤
