I am the same!! I tried budgeting for years and was always discouraged. Since starting cash stuffing it’s just clicked!! And your videos have helped so much. ❤
Alright🤷♀️ an extra $50 from birthday parties ended up in bank money, I think that actually goes to savings challenge bc that's where you broke it from...and $20 to savings challenge from drinks.🙈 All kidding aside, today's video was fun, honest and probably pretty accurate for most of us having to "math" & have a conversation in real life...loving all the content🥳
Thank you!! I ended up looking back at a video and I had $97 in my savings challenge when I started and so I made sure that’s what was in there when I put it back 🥰
From a special needs mama of a now 27yo son who is Autistic, I absolutely LOVE that you are thinking ahead and building a suite, just in case. The options for assistance as a special needs adult are very low in our state. We are actually considering renovating our current barn into a one-bedroom apartment for our son. You are awesome!
🥹🥹🥹 this! It blows my mind that there isn’t more support for adults with autism! There really isn’t anything in MN once they turn 18, so planning ahead is so important!
My favorite line...when I freak out, I just count the cash. Me too...new cash stuffer here, and I find it helps keep my anxiety down. Hate checking the bank constantly.
I love your videos. You are so inspiring!!! I love how you keep somethings private out of respect for your hubby. Sometimes I feel people share too much in order to be totally transparent to their viewers. It is amazing to see how much you care and think about your special needs child and his future. I always feel like I need more and must buy more in order to keep up with everyone else... You show me that it is acceptable and maybe preferable to be more minimalistic and think about the future and not the here and now. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and helping me stay on track with mine.
Love Q&A's and the fact you keep your income private🙂We don't need to know everything. I am so excited, going to Costco today and I have the cash for it woo! hoo! Its the little things lol
I like that I'm becoming the mother of my dreams intentional I want to make sure my daughter feels financially secured and is financially educated which is something I didn't have growing up. I hope to enjoy this new journey 🥰
Suggestion to maybe make it easier so you can talk…figure out what needs to be left in the envelope instead of swapping money. So if you have $127 in envelope and spent $38 you know you need $89 left in the envelope. So you can just count out $89 to keep in envelope without swapping bills. I hope that makes sense 😂 I know everyone has to do what makes sense to oneself though 😉 Love your videos ❤
Agree!! the swap is hard to see, making change is easier to follow. If you have a 100 and you need to pay 80, just take 20 back instead of swapping the 100 bill then taking 80.
As a newly diagnosed autistic adult, I adore you thinking ahead about your son and thinking about what support he may need. Never got the support as a child since I went undiagnosed and there's next to nothing available for me now that I'm nearing 30 and appear "high-functioning".
Long time subbie here. This was one of my favorite videos you've done. I think you and your husband are smart to plan ahead for Elias possible housing needs as he ages. Good on y'all 👏. Love yalls dream😊😊
I really, really enjoy your videos! I am a little late, well maybe a lot late to the budgeting/stuffing party, but hey, never too late, right? My hubby and I are retired. I’m 65 and he’s 70. We sold our house 4 years ago to become debt-free. I do have a credit card that I’m trying (and WILL) pay it off this year. So, being on a retirement and Social Security, I am trying to split my low income up so I can save. I do have my emergency fund at the first baby step plus a little extra. I love cash stuffing and saving so far. 😊
Loved the Q&A!!! I look like this when I’m counting money too lol but I calculate and recalculate all the time to make sure it’s right!!! We followed Dave Ramsey to get out of debt and when we were doing so, we cracked the whip super hard so we did not have any extra money…we literally paid bills and everything else went to debt…after two years of this (and also impacts of Covid) we decided to start saving and investing!!! If we hadn’t done that we could’ve gotten out of debt sooner but we also wanted to be in a good position just in case!!!
@@crystalplanss started off investing in stocks…Disney, Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks…big names like that and for crypto, bitcoin and etherium…but with the market so low now and everything getting shut down (investing platforms), I have to refocus and figure that out…my investments are a cash sinking fund at the moment!!!
Love the Q & A!!! You should call into Dave Ramsey that would be so fun 😊 I love his podcast. How are you like the new wallet? I just purchased the black one you have and currently love it but the new one you have is so dreamy 😍😍
$20.00 from drinks should go into your $1.00 savings challenge, you made change for it and didn't put the $20 in the pile, you put it back into the drinks envelope.
Our dream is very similar . We want to have land and a ranch house with a farm. We also have a special needs son that is 15. He had a stroke in utero and has Hemi cerebral palsy and epilepsy as well as a learning delay. Mentally he is about 7 years old. So we have similar goals on having a in law suite to keep him close but give him his independence. Love watching your videos. We also are on a budget laying down our debt and having sinking/cash funds. It helps so much to reach our goals. Thanks for sharing. ❤ much love from our channel Kimberley and Scooter Jamieson/6breakingloose ❤

Hahah I noticed that! Maybe don't do the Q&A during the unstuffing I found it frustrating watching you trying to do the 2 at once 😂

Honesty to yourself is the most important. You do not have to share everything with us to help us learn this system.

@AndreaGarcia-be8rj I agree! Definitely just take change without the swap of bills. I LOVE this channel ❤️
@@theaestheticdollar I would only do it on the “complicated” envelopes and use a calculator 🤣
@@sarbear3134 They're all complicated to me bahahaha!!

What kind of things did yu invest in if yu don’t mind me asking? I always hear this but have no idea what investments there are 😣

Okay I’ll do it!! I’m torn because they’re both awesome 😅
@@theaestheticdollar they both seem very versatile and so cute! do you have a link for the beige wallet?

Hey hun! New Subbie ❤. Love this video and getting to know about you and your budget a little more!
Welcome!! So happy you’re here! 🤗
I'm so sorry, I didn't understand the explanation of stuffing?🤦🏾♀️ What's a Buffer? I'm sorry, please don't be mad. I really want to learn this. 🙏🏾
Your videos are so nice to watch❤
You are so kind 🥹
Love your wallet. Is it new? Where did you find it? TIA!
I just uploaded my cash stuffing video for the week, and I talk all about the wallet! 🤩
Loved it...thanks😊

Question regarding your savings… do you have an emergency fund? You mentioned not saving for anything other than your few challenges.
Yes we have an emergency fund! 😊
Love your channel - where did you get the brown wallet?
It’s going to be available on my shop 🤩
Did you get a new wallet?
I’m testing it out to see if I want to offer it on my shop 😎
When’s the restock?
I don’t know yet 😅 I gotta get through my 100+ orders I have left and then I’ll start planning the next one!
