I needed to find these saving games again, my autism needs assistance with budgeting. I had a nest egg set aside for the family and an issue arose and wiped it out. I have to start all over again and I lost motivation, now I have it again and let the games begin. 💪🏼

Thank you for being a Great Motivator. I'm working on my cash stuffing binders today to be more organized. Cash stuffing has really helped me save more and not impulse buying.
I love a good condensing! I’m curious why you didn’t use the 50s and 100s that you had at the end going to checking and savings to condense some of those envelopes a little further? Have a great weekend! 😎
🎉thank you for the detailed explanations. This is so helpful. I don't mark of thr " girl math" I play it monthly as a new game and use it for my "Bee Subscriptions".
Good morning Jen, I’m really struggling since I recently had a rollover accident and now my vehicle was totaled. Thank God it was any worse. You, Jason and Ultred enjoy the weekend.
That one has ended - I just wanted to make sure you get entered in correct one- this is the video to comment on for the current: ruclips.net/video/3U4ahknH9Ig/видео.htmlsi=di3aLK9zkKzicN3D And you never knooooow… 💛

Amazing video as always! Thank you for sharing your journey and knowledge with us! I had a question about the Club Bee. Are the perks just for the website or does it include Etsy?
It’s the website only. The website has all the same products as Etsy - Well, actually some of my products aren’t on the website yet. I have to get a few things to April and I haven’t done that yet. I am pretty sure all of April’s items are on the website, though. 💛
Hello & welcome to The Hive! 🐝 We have 2sisterbees.com And my sister and I both have Etsy shops. Aprils is : www.etsy.com/shop/2sisterbees Mine is : www.etsy.com/shop/JennABeeSaves Hello Honey is different each week. Here is last week’s video so you can get the idea : ruclips.net/video/MmwvlZInvLI/видео.htmlsi=tgwJReyQpspa7vpL And then watch every Sunday at 8:30 AM EST! See you then ! 💛
No wishing - you have to believe it. Say, “I will have more money to save.” “ I am going to save $___ this week.” Believe it, say it and do it. I watched an interview with Whoopi Goldberg this morning and she said that when she was 6, she would practice her speech for winning an Oscar! She believed it and it happened! 🙌
I don’t know how to word this question but how do you take out all the cash but still have money in your checking account? Do you have like a cushion then replenish when you spend? So you kind of have to be a month awake to make it all work?
Hi!! 👋 I do that, yes. I use my debit card to pay for things sometimes and then I will take the cash out of the envelope to replenish my checking account. I did not start out that way, though. I built up to that. So - you can start and not be a month ahead on your bills. If I were brand new- I would want to see this video: ruclips.net/video/nCtgH-L8YzU/видео.htmlsi=lbi3zUgKvYRHOqN4 If you already have the $1k somewhere, watch this : ruclips.net/video/wmKB3QhvJp0/видео.htmlsi=YdUZRC2e-MXw4PoJ
This is a good question and I actually have no experience with a reverse mortgage. I actually looked just now to see what Dave Ramsey says about them and he does not recommend however - I also see a lot of critics saying they don’t agree with his reasons. Reverse mortgages are a HUGE decision and if I was thinking of getting one - I would do so much research and get every angle on them that I could before pulling the trigger. You can never have too much info !
Awesome! It’s so much easier - one less thing to worry about. I wish I could do the whole year like I did in CA…. But then again, I probably can’t afford this FL price for the year ! 😂
May I be totally nosey and ask why you decided on a 529 for Jolene and not a Traditional IRA or Roth IRA? I have 3 granddaughters who will be college eligible in 6 years, 8 years and 12 years. I have no idea what is the best way to save for them? I am not trying to completely fund their college but I would like to save some for helping with those costs when the time comes. I appreciate any advice you can share please and thank you!!!!
I don’t think you are being nosey at all- I want you guys to ask me these questions. I’m always happy to help. 💛 I found this article very helpful : finance.yahoo.com/news/529-plan-vs-roth-ira-163859935.html?ncid=sem-go_21278221141_161680434186__Cj0KCQjw6uWyBhD1ARIsAIMcADqBdKk3h6EpREZt7ZYpcpEt8bMs7JwTTR80JU9P2GzH0wgxYX48XCgaAirNEALw_wcB&ncid=sem-go_21278221141_161680434186__Cj0KCQjw6uWyBhD1ARIsAIMcADqBdKk3h6EpREZt7ZYpcpEt8bMs7JwTTR80JU9P2GzH0wgxYX48XCgaAirNEALw_wcB&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6uWyBhD1ARIsAIMcADqBdKk3h6EpREZt7ZYpcpEt8bMs7JwTTR80JU9P2GzH0wgxYX48XCgaAirNEALw_wcB
High yield savings has a savings rate that is MUCH higher than a regular savings rate. My Wells Fargo is .01% which is ridiculous, actually and my high yield savings is 4.89% It is a huge difference! If you can let $ sit for a longer period of time ( more than 1 year, ideally) the HYS is the way to go. Here’s an article that might help: www.cbsnews.com/news/high-yield-savings-accounts-vs-regular-savings-accounts/
No- you can play savings games at any point. Use the money you save to put towards the debt. The games are a way to stay motivated while you are saving. Watch this video: ruclips.net/video/3SklfIfRE2Y/видео.htmlsi=5TI6zsFGYKWPdPGx I give a lot of ways that the games can be used.
Why are you wasting all of that space on the paper? Why are you using each section for one thing? Why not use each section for each savings account, Like one section for your regular account and one section for your HYS account. Then on each line make a note of which envelope it comes from, that way you're not wasting any space.
Because I will continue to add to each category. The space that is for “Car Maintenance” - each time I add to the HYS for that category, I will just write amount and new total under the line you saw me write in today’s video. It’s the same concept as a ledger. I hope that answers your question. 🐝

I would totally walk into the bank with that prop money on accident 😅😂 loved the video thank you so much for breaking this down in such an easy to follow process ❤
Me too lol. That's why my prop money is kids play money that doesn't look real 😅
I know! I try to put little jewels on the ones I use but I don’t have enough of those 😂
They do feel different, though. Like a real thin paper and money is thicker. That helps 😅
Right, I can't do those realistic bills!
I love doing that every so often too. As soon as I get time, I am going to work on mine too.💕🐻
I probably wait longer than I should but it sure feels good once it’s done! 💛
Thank you for being a Great Motivator. I'm working on my cash stuffing binders today to be more organized. Cash stuffing has really helped me save more and not impulse buying.
It’s really changed my life, too. I love hearing that it’s working for others out there, too!

Love that you're showing changes when needed
It never ends 😂
I feel like I’m always adjusting but I love it- learning a lot as I go! 💛

Don’t always see the obvious! 😂

Hi Jenn. It is freeing to remember that the savings challenge monies are able to be distributed however we deem appropriate at the time.
Absolutely! I change my mind all the time ! 😂

Awesome 👏🏻 😊

Hello there! ☀️
I also just decided to start saving my car insurance in the HYSA since mine is every 6 months as well.
Makes sense, right? 🙌

Hi Jenn. Why do you think about a reverse mortgage?
That’s what do you think
This is a good question and I actually have no experience with a reverse mortgage.

Hi i ❤️ your videos how can I get some savings challenges games without having a computer to print them
The best way is to email them to yourself and then go to library to print or to a staples/ Office Depot.
There is no staples or home depot where I live
I will be paying my auto insurance every 6 months starting in september❤
Awesome! It’s so much easier - one less thing to worry about.
I wish I could do the whole year like I did in CA…. But then again, I probably can’t afford this FL price for the year ! 😂
What kind of fans are those? Can you link them please.
Yes- of course!

I’m a little bit confused about the high yield account and my regular savings account
High yield savings has a savings rate that is MUCH higher than a regular savings rate.
My Wells Fargo is .01% which is ridiculous, actually and my high yield savings is 4.89%

Fold the $5 bills and half and they’ll fit better and you’re 100 envelope challenge 💰
Actually they don’t fit folded in half. Only in thirds.
@@2SisterBees I forgot that you use A5 binders not A6 binders
Yes, this one is an A5. I wish I could just fold in half 😅

Do you play games once you are debt free?
No- you can play savings games at any point. Use the money you save to put towards the debt.
The games are a way to stay motivated while you are saving.
