I LOVE the way you organize and allot the $$ to designated allowances. Do you ever worry about the cash being damaged in a house fire? I want to invest in a fire-safe box sometime, also a good idea for storing important documents. Thank you for this!!
The planner you were using for sinking funds, what is the name of it and where did you get it from please?
Tnk you jo 😊
❤❤
I gave up on my 100 envelopes when there wasnt much funds leftover for it, but stuffing it with rollover money?? Genius!!! Now I can get back in the game! Thanks for sharing! My kiddo is going to a classmates birthday party tomorrow and we’re super excited. She just started school this year and it’s the first party she was invited to 🥲 so many sweet “firsts” in this stage!! 😊
Yay!!! Good for you!!! And there are so many adorable firsts at that age, I hope you can take some time to slow down and enjoy them- they will go by fast 💨
We’re did you get that wallet
there should be a link to the Etsy shop I purchased it from in one of my more recent videos. thanks for watching!
If it helps anyone, I've been putting my pennies and dimes (occasionally a dollar or two) in an empty wine bottle with a pretty label. It's harder than I realized to get it out and I'm not planning to break it any time soon. My quarters go to laundry, nickles don't fit so I save them for coffee shop tips. I worked at a coffee shop for years, trust me, anything is appreciated, I loved my job and coworkers, it's ok to NOT feel obligated to tip. ❤ Edit: please tip workers who make tipped wages, they deserve it.
As a waitress I'm trying to figure out a money system and so I'm watching this video and many many other videos as well. I seen your comment and yeah anything really is appreciated. I love receiving change like nickles, dimes, quarters over nothing, even if someone leaves just a dime or a penny I don't mind that. This comment made me happy when I read it.
That is the most adorable minature budget binder I have ever seen!!! So unique with the flowers too.
Omg!!! I’ve never seen someone with envelopes that tiny for their wallet! They’re sooo cute!!!
Thank you! They are so much fun 🤩
@@MiasEnvelopes where did you buy them?
there should be a link to the Etsy shop I purchased it from in one of my more recent videos. thanks for watching!
Question. How does one do the envelope system AND pay bills with their card? Do we deposit the money back onto the card or do the bills get paid with cash?
Or are we only stuffing non-card payment money?
I just started using this cash binder system in order to save money to have two months on hand for monthly expenses. Also started an envelope challenge for emergency funds. I appreciate your video, thank you!
That is awesome! Good for you!!! I wish you plenty of savings and lots of stuffed envelopes ❤️
l was taught everyone should have at least 3-4 months exspensives in an account in case something comes up you have money to pay your bills and mortage or rent,
and just keep adding to it if you can. And all our roll over money goes into our savings. Your amazed how fast that accounts grows.
Great job! My mom taught me the envelope system when I started my first job as that's what my parents used. I used it on and off over the years but more so over the last 15 years or so. It's a smart thing to do and it teaches self control. Can't say I havent taken out of when when the other was empty but that's when I wasn't as strict lol. Good vid :)
Thank you!!!!
Loving those minis. Savings challenges are fun especially when they can be worked into your budget. 🤑Those new envelopes are soooooooo pretty. 💌Thanks for the shout out Lovely Lady.😍 New car is coming along so good. 🚗 Wonderful cash stuffing😁
Thanks for always being so awesome, supple my channel and making awesome videos on your channel! Not to mention your Etsy shop! Girrrrrl I don’t know how you do all of it! ❤️
New subscriber here. Cant wait to binge watch your videos. There so relatable and practical. 💜💜💜
Welcome! Happy to have you here with us- I’m so glad you’re loving the videos ❤️
Thank you so much for this realistic take! So appreciated.
Thank you! I gotta keep it real lol 😂
I love that little tiny cash wallet! Good video!
Lol thank you! It’s so tiny I love it too- I guess everyone calls them “micro wallets” ❤️
@@MiasEnvelopes Where can I buy it? I haven’t been able to find a mini with the zip envelopes
there should be a link to the Etsy shop I purchased it from in one of my more recent videos. thanks for watching!
Just found your channel! And I and completely inspired by your methods and ideas🥰 I am definitely subscribing and watching more of your videos! Thanks so much for sharing!💗💗
Yay! Thank you! :)
I say you're doing a good job Mia. 👍
Thank you! I appreciate the support! Have a great week ❤️
Since I don't really have specific spending I mostly put everything in 1 binder but with different pages for $50, $20, and so on. So whenever I get new money that has a big amount I will exchange them with smaller changes. It will be easier for me for lunch because most of the eateries I can't pay it using cashless. Saving challenges/envelope challenges are on different binders though. Have been doing this since January after stumbling upon videos on youtube. It is so much fun. I can't say they will stay increasing because sometimes we can't avoid emergencies but counting them every week is really fun.
Wow I love your process!!! Thank you for sharing in the videos and for spending time with us 😎
@@MiasEnvelopes Your welcome. Since recently I didn't pay the bills using cash anymore I have more cash to save. I did write down what I paid to make sure that I know I already paid.
I've been thinking about an unbudgeted envelope too. Good to have for things that sneak up that you didn't account for
Agreed! It’s a good idea 😎
that tiny wallet is absolutely adorable!!
Thank you!
I appreciate all who makes those tiny envelopes! They are hard to make❤ I know I made mines ❤ but yours are super cute!
Thanks so much 🤩
I'm just relaxing. I'm exhausted. I woke up super early for overtime this morning on little sleep. I hope you're having a great day
I’m sorry you’re so tired! I hope you can find some good rest and self care soon! ❤️
Love your set up ❤
Thanks for sharing love that box with the heart ❤️
Thanks for being here! ❤️
Your wallet is WHERE DID YOU GET IT! That’s genius
Hi there! Thanks for watching- there should be links in the description box in one of my newer videos for the wallet I’m using. Have a great week! 💜
Congrats on 4K!! 🎉🎉🎉
Awwww you noticed!! Thank you 😊
Love the wallet.
Love your content ♥️♥️
Very cool
Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Hi from France. Thank you for your videos.👍🏻❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Hello 😊 and merci!!!!
Haha I love the zombie envelope😂 I have a doomsday envelope so I can stock up my pantry 😅
Love it!!!
I want to leeaarrnnn! How cool!
“When it happens” she says about the zombie apocalypse 😂
Haaaaa! Totally- I have no idea why but I’m still fascinated with the idea 👻
You have a beautiful setup
Thank you 😊
RUclipsrs usually have enough money, yust support some local organisations 😊
I'm spending my weekend by not spending any money this weekend and saving.😊
Hi
I have a small flip file sith aĺocations on and put it in my safe and then do it every month
Since payday is on Tuesday, I'm going to start!
Yaaaas!!!!! 😎 you can do it!
@@MiasEnvelopes ok I can't lie after my bills were paid I'm left with 200$ how do you start off with that? 😩 I feel like this is why I could never save
DM me on instagram if you wanna chat about it! happy to help if I can :)
Cute little envys. I have not done the cash system and thought to check what it is. But I can't figure out the cash paying thing. I put everything we buy each month on one specific credit card, pay it off each month (and earn points enough to get a vacation every year for hubby and me).
That’s a great system! It can be kind of bothersome to carry cash; sometimes I will use my credit card and pay myself back- it just depends on my mood or the week. I love the flexibility- thanks for stopping by! :)
New subscriber. Cute wallet.
Thanks and welcome here 😎
Great video
Thanks for stopping by 😎
The interim $50 to represent in the bank is so creative and useful! Where can I get those? Thank you :)
Glad you like them! There should be a link to the Etsy shop I purchased them from in one of my more recent video descriptions :) Happy shopping!
I’m new to the money envelope challenge. Is that a budget tracker app on your iPad? If so where can I get it from and what’s the name? Thanks
Hi there and welcome! I use the GoodNotes app on my iPad and the digital budgeting sheets you see me using I created myself- they are available on my Etsy shop. Have a great day!
Did you make your savings challenge envelopes? Also I love the fake bills that you use and is there a app one The tablet that you’re using for cash stuffing
I sure did! I’m using the budget book I’m creating to track everything and I use it on GoodNotes - as far as the placeholders go, I’ll link all the Etsy shops in my next video so you can check them out :-)
Love this video. Where did you get the miniature budget binder
Hi there and welcome! There should be a link to the Etsy shop where I purchased it in the description box of one of my more recent videos- feel free to take a look and happy shopping 💜
Hey what’s that app on ur iPad I see numbers on ur using as a paper sheet what’s that
Hey Hun! I agree it’s good to support other channels! 💜
Wish I would have thought about it sooner! Have a good week 😎
@@MiasEnvelopes You too!
Hi Mia, Working on Saturday but off on Sunday.
Hope you had a good day off today!! 😎
@@MiasEnvelopes Thank you I did. A good day to rest up.
Do you have a video that shows your method on budgeting and where to buy the stuff you use?
Hi! I have several videos that explain the process I use, and I’m working on an updated video actually. Thanks for being here! 😎
How do you do the bank part? Do you have different accounts or different savings accounts?
good question! I do have a few accounts- check out my most recent Q&A video, I go into some detail there, and hopefully that will help you out :-)
I wonder if you could laminate over your envelopes and then we cut them with the trim area for hole punch.
Oooooo that’s a good idea! I’ll do some experimental envelopes so I don’t ruin the pretty envelopes and see what happens 😂
This would work!
Where do you get the charts you used to budget all the numbers? I need that! Makes it so easy!!!! 😅
I made them! they are in my Etsy shop if you’re interested- link should be in the description- have a great week!
@@MiasEnvelopes thank u!!!
Hello! Where I can buy the tiny blinder? Love it!
Hi there!!! I got my micro wallet off Etsy- I linked the Etsy shop in the description of my most recent videos, so feel free to check out that Etsy shop if you need one :-)
Hello! Where’d you get the digital pages?
Hey there! I made them myself. I have digital pages listed in my Etsy shop, but these particular pages aren’t listed for sale.. yet.. muah ha haaaaa! :) 😝
Where did you get the smaller sized pocket wallet?
So convenient
There should be a link in one of my new videos to the Etsy shop, where I purchased the smaller wallet :-)
Where do you get the small wallet and envelopes that are shown in the beginning of this video?
Hi there! There should be a link in my few most recent videos to the Etsy shop where I purchased the micro wallet.. please let me know if you can’t find it and I’ll grab the link for you. Happy New Year!
So do you have separate bank accounts or is everything all in one account? just wondering, my wife has started saving for certain things, but has a major saving account
Hi there! Good question, I do have a couple of different accounts, but I try to keep it simple- check out my recent Q&A video if you have a few moments, it might answer your question- if it doesn’t please check back and I’ll be happy to give you some more info. Have a great week and thanks for being here! :)
Where did you get the envelopes you ordered? They’re so cute!

She’s great awesome stuff!
Hi Mia! I stumbled upon your video because I’m about to start saving seeing as I am about to live without roommates for the first time! I was wondering how often you do this a week? How many times a week would you recommend for someone who 1. Has never done this type of envelope savings before (this is more in depth than what I’ve done in the past) and 2. Who has never gone through their expenses this in depth before? I’m also single but with no kids so my expenses are a little different!
Hi there! Welcome so glad you’re here! Sorry it looks like I missed your comment so it’s taken a while to respond. I cash stuff once per week. I feel like the amount of times you stuff depends on how frequently you get paid, but that can all be adjusted for a weekly stuffing. I like weekly stuffings because I can more closely see how much I’m spending on a weekly basis, this just gives me more visibility over what and how I can adjust my budget if I’m overspending in any category. Hope that makes sense :) have a great rest of your week!
New to the channel. Do you have envelopes for things like housing payment, car insurance, utilities etc?
Hi there and welcome! I don’t stuff my monthly bills anymore, but I used to! I keep the money for those in the bank and they come out automatically at the beginning of the month. Have a great Holiday season! 💜
Do you mind linking the little binder and envelopes? 😬♥️
Link to the micro wallet should be in the description of one of my newer videos :-) happy shopping!
Hey Mia! What's the template you are using on your ipad?!
Hi there! I use the GoodNotes app, and the digital budgeting sheets I created, they are available for sale in my Etsy shop if you’re interested. Have a great rest of your week! :)
What about rent, utilities, other bills? Is the money you have in the bank all in a lump sum savings account? And what denomination to you get to in your envelopes before you transfer it to the bank? I've also never understood what a sinking account is??
Wondering that too
Im not sure if sinking funds is understood the same by everyone, but i always thought of it as a fancier way of saying "oopsies/extra spending" 😂
Me too. You cash your check, fill envelopes, get to a certain denomination and then put that cash back in the bank? Or are you using the same bills to make videos?
Hi guys! So I don’t stuff money for my bills anymore. It’s too many trips to the bank and makes my head want to explode. I address it in an upcoming Q&A video, but that’s the meat and potatoes of that. I have several bank accounts that I use, and I’m also going into detail about that in my upcoming Q&A video. I have a couple of checking accounts and a couple of savings accounts. I call one of my savings accounts my “sinking fund savings”- so, there’s one lump sum of money in there, but I keep track of what I’m allotting that money for. So, let’s say I have $2,000 in the savings account. I have a list I keep digitally that breaks down the categories I’ve saved for within that account. So that $2,000 is split between things like vacation, car maintenance, etc. And yes, once my sinking fund cash envelopes are full, I take that money to the bank and deposit it into the account. Hopefully I hit on everything, let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you for being here and happy new year!
Hi there! When I receive income, i leave a percentage in the bank to cover bills, and take the rest out to stuff in my envelopes. Then after some time passes, once the envelopes are filled, I then take the money to the bank and deposit into my sinking funds savings account. I do not re-use money for my videos.. it’s all “fresh” on a weekly basis lol
great questions- thank you for being here and happy new year! :)
💕💕
I wish I can start this but Uber won’t let me cause it’s $400 a month from work to home. I need a job more closer to home
Hi Did you make the small floral envelopes yourself ? They are super cute 💗
The clear flower ones in the tiny binder? No, actually the Etsy shop I bought them from is PixieLacksPlanning- I love her stuff!! 💜
@@MiasEnvelopes
❤👍
where did you get the mini binder/wallet?
Hi! There should be a link to the Etsy shop where I purchased the clear micro wallet in one of my more recent video descriptions. Happy shopping!
How do you choose each category for each budget????
I always start by looking at three months worth of my bank statements and color coding the transactions according to category so fast food could be yellow marker, the market could be green marker, coffee could be red marker, etc. then you know about how much a month you spend in each category and you can set some goals to start budgeting with. Good luck!
Where did you get that tiny little clear wallet?
There should be a link in one of my most recent video descriptions to the Etsy shop, where I purchased the micro clear wallet :-) her shop name is PixieLacksPlanning
Thank you!!!
Do you have different bank accounts for every cash envelope you have? You say you have some money in the bank
I do have several accounts- I’ll make a short about it- stay tuned 😎
How do you get started. I feel as though something is always due and it never allows me to start 😭😭
Hi Misty! I would start to pay myself monthly like a bill until I had enough saved up to be 1 month ahead on all of my bills- that’s what I did when I first started and it makes a huge difference. It might take a little bit of time, but the money will add up :-)
i was literally thinking about this today, the only think im scared of is that i have a roommate and they might go through my stuff and find it
Ooooo that’s definitely something to be careful about. Do you have a safe or can you get a locking box off Amazon perhaps? You can always do it digitally as well, but if you like having the satisfaction of the money counting, having the cash on hand is helpful.
you could always use monopoly money if you're afriad of them stealing the safe
Where did you get the box w/black heart for savings challenge
I actually found the box at dollar tree, and made the rest myself💜
Hi !
I love your calculator where did you get it from ?
Thanks 😊
Amazon! Search “mechanical calculator pink” and something should come up :) Have a great day!
Came here for this comment lol 😆
I love watching these types of videos and wanna start but I’m unemployed and I donate plasma. I don’t know where to start.
Hi there! So happy to have you here! I will work on making a video tutorial on how to get started with cash envelopes and hopefully that will help :-)
❤❤❤
Love your envelopes...my favorite color lavender....where did u get them from?

I dont understand the concept if you are taking money to the bank🤔
Where did you get the plastic container with lid?
I got the plastic container with the lid at dollar tree! It was a great find 😍
$20 for gas only? Must be nice loll 😂 Just to fill up my tank is over 60+ every few days. Or at least every week.
Wow that’s a lot, I’ve been unemployed the past few months so I haven’t been driving as far. That changed last week though, so you’ll see me upping my gas budget :)
Where did you get the container for envelopes?
At the Dollar Tree 🌳
Where did you get that mini envelope binder 🥺
Etsy ❤️ I’ll like the shop description in my next video so you can grab one!

She’s got beautiful stuff enjoy!!! 😎❤️
I haven't used cash for years, and particularly since the pandemic, most people here use their tap cards or banking apps. Is cash the common thing to use in the US?
as someone who works at a bank, people still use cash! i also like it to keep my spending under control
I tend to move back and forth between using cash and cards depending on my spending habits. Have a great day! 💜
What app do you use? Love the layout.
Hi! I use GoodNotes on my iPad- but the digital budgeting sheets you see me using are mine, I actually created those and they are available on my Etsy shop if you wanna go check those out. Thanks for being here!

What is the name of the app. You are using on your tablet...please
Hi there! I use GoodNotes.. and the forms you see me using are forms I created :) I have them listed for sale in my Etsy shop if you’re interested in taking a more detailed look. Thanks for the question and Happy New Year! :)
Where did you get that tiny envelope wallet?❤❤❤
Hi there!! I think there should be a link to the Etsy shop I purchased it from in one of my more recent video descriptions :) thanks for watching!
Which app do you use on your iPad to count it all
I use the GoodNotes app- and the digital budgeting sheets you see me using I created on my own- they are available on my Etsy shop if you’d like to go take a look. Have a great day!
When doing this, you don't use a bank account? No debit?
I use my credit card and reimburse myself from my envelopes. Thanks for watching!
Are you putting the money in the bank when you reach $100 and each envelope? Or are you waiting to you? Reach at least $500 in the envelope before depositing it.
Hi! I’m stuffing $5 per envelope in my challenge box, and when all of the envelopes are stuffed, I’ll do a video counting it all out and letting everyone know how I’ve decided to allocate it. Thanks so much for the tip and thanks for watching!
How do you guys get the digital book?
my Etsy shop :)
silly question where do you get the money to start if you dont have extra income?
Not a silly question at all! 😄
If you don’t have “extra income,” you can use cash for expenses you would normally use your debit card for, like gas, groceries, eating out and spending. That’s always a good place to start. Then on a weekly basis, if you have any money left, you can save that money in it’s own envelope for paying off debt, or some other goal you might have.
thank you
What program are you using on the ipad?
Hi! GoodNotes.. and the pages you see me budgeting on are pages I created- I have some listed for sale in my Etsy shop if you wanted to take a closer look. Happy New Year!
What app or website are you using on your iPad?
Hi there! I use GoodNotes and the forms you see me using are forms I created- they are available in my Etsy shop if you’d like to look them over in more detail :) Happy New Year!
I can use $20 dollars in gas in two days. You might not drive much
I didn’t drive as much when I made that video- now it’s definitely more. Thanks for watching!
