How do you pay for monthly costs if you use this saving system? Do you transfer the banknotes to your bank account? Since everything gets automatically charged from my account
I do this but on paper. I am too afraid of losing cash in a fire or if the house is robbed so I keep it in the bank. I also pay all of our bills online so taking cash out would mean having to out it back in to pay it lol. But the general practice is the same and I love these types of videos. We've paid off debt, gone on a 10 yr anniversary vacation, bought a house with land with a good down payment and it feels so good!
I think cash in general is not good to have lying around, but if someone is able to make frequent trips to the bank, it's not a big deal. I write it down on paper also but you can also use fake money / play money or Monopoly money if you like having a system like this!

For me, seeing my money all laid out is incredibly helpful. When it's in the bank I tend to make more mistakes with spending. I love the idea about dealing with cash, we have kind of lost that in this day and age. I would probably get a firesafe to keep everything in though, im paranoid. Thank you for creating such a helpful video.
I was thinking the exact same thing! I really wanna give this method a try but... the way I do things now is, I pay all my bills or cards then whatever money I have left over is gas/food/etc and WHATEVER is left over from that is my personal fun money 🥲🤧✋️
Did watching this give anyone else anxiety? I don’t like having too much cash on me (I usually won’t carry more than $100). And this method seems like such a chore, though I can see how it would be great for someone who earns tips and/or who has the time, patience, and enthusiasm for such a task. I was scrolling through the comments trying to find the answer to how she pays her bills but didn’t see any response from the content creator. I have most of my bills on autopay because I worry about being late on any payment.
My place won’t accept anything but check, I wish they would do cash though. I hate using the bank cause I really don’t trust the electronics to organize my purchases, so many ways a false charge can get undetected and makes it harder to organize & save. With this method you can feel it in your hands, visually view what needs to go where, and I think this is a more trustworthy way of operating. Also it makes you more apprehensive about spending because just a click of the button can be addicting and making it way too easy to overspend. If it’s right in front of you I feel like I save better doing it with cash. Too bad everything charges on card though. 😢
Probably case to case basis. This is maybe good for those who wanted to save up and track their expenses or those with little money to make sure they can budget. If you are usually a credit/debit card person you may need a different strategy.
It can be a chore but it really helps people get in tune with their spending habits. There is an app that does this same method which I prefer because all my bills are paid online and too much cash on hand is easy to lose. For those that need something physical to budget, I've seen people use fake money while the real money stays in the bank.
As a social worker, I have helped people budgeting many times. Personally, I’m not a big fan of cash either (for the same reasons you gave). But for some people, budgeting with ‘real’ cash, gives them a better look on their spendings. It can be easier for some people to see the money they are spending while they are doing it. For those people, I would recommend having there bigger bills (rent, etc) on auto pay on their account and the “luxury spendings” (going out to eat, fun things, etc) in cash and organised like this. I hope that makes sense, English is not my first language.
Keeping cash on hand helps with my spending. It serves as something of a physical limit and keeps me from using my card every chance I get. But this is really helpful ❤
Once i get debt free (about 10 months until my car and 18 months until my loan is paid off) I'm going to do this so i don't put myself back in debt, I'm 28 and made some bad choices with credit cards but the past few years of not being able to afford fun things, i think has broken me of the FOMO that got me into debt to begin with. Now i actually stop and ask myself if whatever i'm buying will improve my life or if it will give me a temporary dose of serotonin.
I have been longing for an iPhone since +-10years ago and still debating whether I should splurge and go FOMO for the iPhone 13 pink.. or save until I could get another chance in the future.
can u explain to me the credit card part because our payment system here is different and I would like you to give me an advice how should I use the credit card ?
@@zakraouisara9191 well I think its more like how well you could control yourself about your spending in regards to what you could earn, so the balance stays in positive and you don't get into trouble by going into credit card debt. Because if you only pay the minimum bill for credit card, it will charge an interest based on how much you still haven't pay them in full (if you purchase something more expensive than you could afford, for example, if you feel Fear Of Missing Out in buying the latest iPhone, in 12 month installment for example, each month if you pay your credit card if not in full as charged that month, it will build up 'debt' that is compounding in interest)
I’m 10 and I started a business , I make bracelets and I also make phone charms . I usually save all my money and put a lot of my money into my collage savings , but I’m also thinking of starting to try this method that you do 💞
I love this video. I used to be so good at saving my money, but the past 5 years or so I’m in debt and unable to save anything past $300 a year! Need to try this system out for 2023. Thank you !
Oh I feel that. Went back to school that doesnt give financial aid and loans are not allowed, I’m broke broke, but once I’m done and have a better paying job I want to do this to help me save again quickly.
Not even five minutes in and i immediately went to the entry shop I’m so excited for my cash envelopes I love cash stuffing and your videos have been helping me so much
I want to learn budgeting so I can move out of my parent’s house after saving up! I’m so so glad there is a RUclips channel for budgeting videos! Thank you :)
i love budgeting. I don't use cash im strictly a debit card user, i feel like in the long run i was saving more using my debit vs cash but love writing down my bills every month and feeling organized. its helped me save so much. im only 25 and feel financially comfortable because of budgeting
See I'm the opposite. If I have a card, I'll spend it all. Where if I only bring the money I'm "allowed" to spend, it'll force me to stay in budget and put stuff back if I can't afford it lol
It’s interesting seeing someone budget like this. Could be useful for those that struggle. I always just had the self control to know what I spend and not over do it. I should send this to my friend lol
I like the system, but kinda get frustrated with the amounts... 10 dollars for restaurants? what can you get in a restaurant for 10 dollars??? same with dates and fun... there is no fun in 10 dollars...
@@Helltowakeupeverymorning it really depends what city you go to though i feel. it would be quite hard to only have $10 for restaurants in a place like nyc or bostn.
@@whereami2130 that is true. And I’m also assuming she doesn’t put 10$every week for resturaunt. Maybe she just wasn’t expecting to go to a resturaunt that week so she just out a small amount of money for emergency’s.
I’m about to get my first job this summer and I’m 17 and I may start this method! But I’ll also explore with other methods and then see which one is best for me. Can’t wait to start making some dough and helping out financially for my family! (And I have a few things I wanna save up for 🤭)
Watching your video is so relaxing thing to do!❤❤❤ I’m 26 and I spend all my money every month😢after watching you planning your money maybe I should start to organize my budget too…but we don’t use cash anymore in my country. So maybe I’ll figure out some way I can do budget online. 🎉
Thank you for making these videos :) I will be doing this as my New Year's Resolution - I am terrible with money and especially impulse buying. I think seeing the money physically broken up & playing saving challenges/games will make me see it differently.
This is great for the kiddos but watching this as an adult is driving me nuts…. Learn a few tricks on Microsoft excel by watching RUclips vids, make a chart of your expenses/saving goals, design you excel spreadsheet, you get good at it, show and talk about your excel spreadsheet on job interviews and land a high paying job cause you’re now good and familiar with working with excel spreadsheets. Extra money and new skill acquired!
Okay, you know what, I'm always trying to save and stash up at least $300 for significant something but then I need to be on a spending budget of $200 but also need food (but also eat healthier food). Thenon rare occasions, I'll take out either $50 or $150 at most to stash away in case something happens and I end up getting kicked out. But I don't make enough. I'll do it. 🤩
This makes me realise how much of a cashless society the UK has essentially become in the last few years. Birthday money from my Nan is literally the only notes I ever receive!
Obviously subject to your job of course, but most people are not paid in cash and therfore otherwise don’t have the need to keep it on them or around the house because of how widespread contactless payment is for both small businesses and chains/franchises
I just found this channel and this is fascinating to me. My finances are all over the place and there is zero consistency around how much I spend in various categories. I.E. Some weeks I don’t drive at all and some weeks I may be driving to a speaking event 4 hours away. And food is all over the place. Some weeks I’m not feeling well and barely spend any money on food, and other weeks I may go out to eat 3-4 times. I don’t think this sort of budgeting would work for me because my life is just too inconsistent (mostly because of health reasons) but the organizer in me still finds this really interesting!
I don’t think this sort of budgeting would work for me because my life is just too inconsistent The envelopes are part of my "no surprises" budget. Dentist envelope $40/month. $1200 for a root canal always comes at the wrong time. Now I have $1200 for the dentist. $40/month is "consistent." $1200 is not.

I love this!! This is the first video I have seen doing this and up until this point I've not budgeted at all and blown so much money. You have inspired me to start budgeting! I am still young so I am thankful I came across your page, here's to starting something new!
I am so bad with my money, but I have been doing better on it recently, so watching your videos always motivates me to improve my saving and minimize my overspending. I love that little binder/wallet! anyways I subscribed so I can get notifications to your channel more often :)
I just loved this video so much. I mean, so much. I have a lot of trouble with money and just watching you saving your money and splitting which amount goes for what just inspired me a lot to look for more tips on your channel! so cute and inspiring :)
this was in my recommendations and i have horrible spending addictions i'm assuming bc i'm 18 and just started having a good job i just spend spend spend but this is my sign to start budgeting and to control my impulsivity, tysm!! :)
you better really job counting with your money you do have a lot of money. I watch you all the time you are the best RUclipsr because I watched a lot of your videos. I'm six years old. My name is Adalyn and when I get older, I go be a RUclipsr my birthday is in summer, August😊
Two into the video!!! I like the dividers with labels!! 🎉❤ When I was in my twenties, fresh out of my parents’ home, I had to do use a similar system (with white envelopes) in order to understand exactly how much I was spending and where it was going.
Watching this video does give me inspiration! I am not a cash person, and only roughly budget on housing, daily spending (tax/phone bill…etc), and others(shopping/beauty..). Mostly pay whatever comes my way. I should start budgeting future plan like travel,insurance and investments.
It's trail and error. It takes time to figure out what numbers and categories works best for you. These are my usual numbers but sometimes they have to be adjusted. For example if I had plans to go out with friends I would probably add $50 to restaurants. My pink binder is bills, blue is savings, and the clear ones are sinking funds (mini saving for something that will come up like Christmas, Car Registration, Vacation etc.) and of course my wallet for my daily spending. Hope that helps! 😊
Im 18 first year in college i need to budget so badly because i tend to spend so much and not keep track of my spendings i want to be organized so watching this made want to do this method of organizing my money
Fyi: insurance follows the driver, not the car. So you don't need to take over your BF's insurance policy if you can get a better deal elsewhere; he can cancel it and get a prorated refund.
I live in a country where it's illegal for me to work based on my visa, so I'm 18 and have never had a job (though I've wanted one), so I have no idea how to do finances/budget and save. this is teaching me so much, thank you! i'll definitely do this when I get a job.
I like the system. You put clear thought and care into managing your money. I am however confused by the amounts. What restaurant are you going to that you only need $10??? Groceries $80? The rent, I'm guessing you're still living at home?
I love budgeting like this but it’s so fascinating to me to see the difference between Canadian and American living expenses. Like here in Canada an average dinner date with no alcohol is at least $80-$100. And unless you’re a student or child there’s no where you can anything fun for under $40-60.
A date can definitely be 40 without drinks. Maybe even a little less just depending where u go obviously.. But idk what u can get at a restaurant for only $10 maybe I just eat a lot
🇨🇦 is a poor country and a socialist/communist nation, where the country CONTROLS and dictates your life and EVERY move (“free healthcare”= taxe you for everything). Im a dual citizen (🇺🇸🇨🇦). Living expenses in 🇨🇦 is NOTHING compared to the 🇺🇸. It’s 100 times more expensive in the 🇺🇸 than 🇨🇦. Canadians as a nation are LAZY and don’t like to work. AMERICANS: we work and hustle. I have to call out the BS and your statement. Nothing to compare and even correlate 😩😭😂😂💯💯
I appreciate how neat, tidy, and organized this video is, but I wish she'd give more context. Seemed like some categories were so similar or duplicates and many categories, relationally, weren't balanced. For example, birthdays got $50 while investing got $17. Touching on financial goals might provide a bit of clarity for the video. Otherwise, it was interesting to watch.
im turning 16 soon, and this is making me feel more comfortable with my ocd and how i wanted to handle my money 😂 i will defienitly be supporting your esty for my sake and yours!!! tysm for this brillent idea.
I love Moterm wallets, I want one so bad. But I can’t afford it just yet. But soon! Watching y’all videos makes me so motivated, I’ve been trying to start, but things keep happening where I have to empty my envelopes before I can get them to grow, and I don’t even stuff them all as it is. 🥺 I’m determined to figure it out though, and the more videos I watch, the better I feel about doing this. I’m hoping that starting my next check I’ll be able to pull out for just a few sinking funds, while leaving my bills in my account (I’m too scared to take them out yet), and I’ll be able to slowly stuff them as my bills are taken care of, and I get a bit of a buffer in my account.
I like this in theory and makes money more tangible then just phones or cards I could never willingly deal with cash. It's just easier and you can use a smaller wallet
To be honest, there are so many categories and challenges in this money stuffing that it isn't that practical to execute, although I have to agree that it is aesthetically pleasing to watch.
hey i’m new here, love this idea but i have a few questions. on the categories like restaurants, why do you only put $10 in there? i understand you’re saving it’s just realistically restaurants aren’t that cheap. same with groceries, how does $80 get you by for the month? is this a monthly thing or is it shorter time periods that this is for. sorry if i’m wrong about something haha just a general thought i had
As far as groceries, she lives at home, so she likely just pitches and/or goes and purchases her own wants. The restaurant one does have me scratching my head. Is drink money? Tip money? Perhaps it becomes redundant to repeat all of these things in every video, but she should have something written out in the description so that people getting recommended these videos aren’t so lost. This seems to work well for her because she’s unmarried, seemingly child-free, and living at home.
Her rent is only $145 so I’m assuming she lives with her parents/family. Some of the other bills seem low too so I’m assuming her family agrees she pitches in a certain amount. Still it’s nice to see people budgeting and making emergency funds and not counting on family to be a safety net. The overall idea is applicable to other lifestyles. I’ve been using this method but leaving my money in the bank and having an excel spreadsheet “envelopes”. I don’t trust cash around even the best roommates. I’ve been doing it since I moved out at 18. It didn’t feel like it was working for the first 5-7 years but years later I’m hitting my financial goals despite only having modest income. In the early years I felt like it wasn’t working because my monthly savings were so small but friends in similar circumstances took on expensive car loans and credit card debt during that time to have a similar lifestyle. I’m assuming the $10 a month for restaurants is just 1-2 coffees or one drink out. Or she saves ten dollars for several months and then treats herself to something bigger. Some people don’t eat in restaurants or take a break from restaurants while saving for something special. If you go to restaurants give that envelope more. 😊. Her amounts won’t work for other people, you need to make your own realistic amounts that fit in your budget.
@@CerealSalad yes thank you, i 100% agree, it nice to see this over other people on the internet spending money on useless things. id love to start doing this at some point but as i’m 17 the money i earn can be practically used for anything so i don’t need to budget just yet haha. i know ofc other people’s budgets wouldn’t work for other people, i was just genuinely curious what restaurants she was going to that are so cheap hahaha. thank you for your insight tho i find it really interesting!!

To fill up a tank it’s like 30 or 40 depending on the car and how fully you fill it
obviously this varies per person, budget to what suits ur needs. i spend ~$40 a week in gas.
Did watching this give anyone else anxiety? I don’t like having too much cash on me (I usually won’t carry more than $100). And this method seems like such a chore, though I can see how it would be great for someone who earns tips and/or who has the time, patience, and enthusiasm for such a task. I was scrolling through the comments trying to find the answer to how she pays her bills but didn’t see any response from the content creator. I have most of my bills on autopay because I worry about being late on any payment.
My place won’t accept anything but check, I wish they would do cash though. I hate using the bank cause I really don’t trust the electronics to organize my purchases, so many ways a false charge can get undetected and makes it harder to organize & save. With this method you can feel it in your hands, visually view what needs to go where, and I think this is a more trustworthy way of operating. Also it makes you more apprehensive about spending because just a click of the button can be addicting and making it way too easy to overspend. If it’s right in front of you I feel like I save better doing it with cash. Too bad everything charges on card though. 😢
It’s not smart to use cash over a credit card
Probably case to case basis. This is maybe good for those who wanted to save up and track their expenses or those with little money to make sure they can budget. If you are usually a credit/debit card person you may need a different strategy.
It can be a chore but it really helps people get in tune with their spending habits. There is an app that does this same method which I prefer because all my bills are paid online and too much cash on hand is easy to lose. For those that need something physical to budget, I've seen people use fake money while the real money stays in the bank.
As a social worker, I have helped people budgeting many times. Personally, I’m not a big fan of cash either (for the same reasons you gave). But for some people, budgeting with ‘real’ cash, gives them a better look on their spendings. It can be easier for some people to see the money they are spending while they are doing it. For those people, I would recommend having there bigger bills (rent, etc) on auto pay on their account and the “luxury spendings” (going out to eat, fun things, etc) in cash and organised like this.
I hope that makes sense, English is not my first language.
Keeping cash on hand helps with my spending. It serves as something of a physical limit and keeps me from using my card every chance I get. But this is really helpful ❤
Once i get debt free (about 10 months until my car and 18 months until my loan is paid off) I'm going to do this so i don't put myself back in debt, I'm 28 and made some bad choices with credit cards but the past few years of not being able to afford fun things, i think has broken me of the FOMO that got me into debt to begin with. Now i actually stop and ask myself if whatever i'm buying will improve my life or if it will give me a temporary dose of serotonin.
I have been longing for an iPhone since +-10years ago and still debating whether I should splurge and go FOMO for the iPhone 13 pink.. or save until I could get another chance in the future.
with how stupid apple acts that pink probably wont be released again for a long time lol so i say go for it
Feel you. Same situation. The good thing is that we learned,the bad way, but we learned.
can u explain to me the credit card part because our payment system here is different and I would like you to give me an advice how should I use the credit card ?
@@zakraouisara9191 well I think its more like how well you could control yourself about your spending in regards to what you could earn, so the balance stays in positive and you don't get into trouble by going into credit card debt. Because if you only pay the minimum bill for credit card, it will charge an interest based on how much you still haven't pay them in full (if you purchase something more expensive than you could afford, for example, if you feel Fear Of Missing Out in buying the latest iPhone, in 12 month installment for example, each month if you pay your credit card if not in full as charged that month, it will build up 'debt' that is compounding in interest)
I thought of this technique when I was 16 that was 17 years ago. It’s good to see so many people doing it.
I’m 10 and I started a business , I make bracelets and I also make phone charms . I usually save all my money and put a lot of my money into my collage savings , but I’m also thinking of starting to try this method that you do 💞
Hope you grow your business and save for college. Good luck!
I love this video. I used to be so good at saving my money, but the past 5 years or so I’m in debt and unable to save anything past $300 a year! Need to try this system out for 2023. Thank you !
May I ask why?
Oh I feel that. Went back to school that doesnt give financial aid and loans are not allowed, I’m broke broke, but once I’m done and have a better paying job I want to do this to help me save again quickly.
welcome to another episode of what youtube recommended me~ have no idea what this is but it’s relaxing 💜
Anyone else feel like this would be amazing asmr?
Not even five minutes in and i immediately went to the entry shop I’m so excited for my cash envelopes I love cash stuffing and your videos have been helping me so much
I want to learn budgeting so I can move out of my parent’s house after saving up! I’m so so glad there is a RUclips channel for budgeting videos! Thank you :)
Taking envelopes out was a such a great idea. so satisfying to watch you fold those bills
I'm 18 rn and am excited to do this, you make ppl realise that they need to think smart with money and finances , keep up the good workk
i love budgeting. I don't use cash im strictly a debit card user, i feel like in the long run i was saving more using my debit vs cash but love writing down my bills every month and feeling organized. its helped me save so much. im only 25 and feel financially comfortable because of budgeting
See I'm the opposite. If I have a card, I'll spend it all. Where if I only bring the money I'm "allowed" to spend, it'll force me to stay in budget and put stuff back if I can't afford it lol
It’s interesting seeing someone budget like this. Could be useful for those that struggle. I always just had the self control to know what I spend and not over do it. I should send this to my friend lol
This is so therapeutic to watch. I love money envelopes and hers are so pretty.
I’ve never seen anyone do it this way and let me tell you you’ve changed my whole perspective on budgeting! ❤ love this xx
i was super looking forward to this video, the tone of voice basically doesn't change and its driving me crazy
I like the system, but kinda get frustrated with the amounts... 10 dollars for restaurants? what can you get in a restaurant for 10 dollars??? same with dates and fun... there is no fun in 10 dollars...
It is not suppose to be for immediate use - you build up the amount.
You can find fun stuff to do for free. That’s the problem with a lot of people. They think money equals fun. Not the case at all
@@Helltowakeupeverymorning it really depends what city you go to though i feel. it would be quite hard to only have $10 for restaurants in a place like nyc or bostn.
@@whereami2130 that is true. And I’m also assuming she doesn’t put 10$every week for resturaunt. Maybe she just wasn’t expecting to go to a resturaunt that week so she just out a small amount of money for emergency’s.
@@HelltowakeupeverymorningI don’t think that’s a people problem- just almost nothing is free anymore.
Your hand movements are so fluid. My brain is very mesmerized.
I found this video very soothing for some reason 😌
$10 for restaurant? What do you eat?
my exact words were "do you get a meal from McDonalds or something?"
@@justanormalgirlll HA NO FR
I’m about to get my first job this summer and I’m 17 and I may start this method! But I’ll also explore with other methods and then see which one is best for me. Can’t wait to start making some dough and helping out financially for my family! (And I have a few things I wanna save up for 🤭)
Randomly came across your video and I loved it. I’m so unorganized with my money. Thank you for the idea.
Watching your video is so relaxing thing to do!❤❤❤ I’m 26 and I spend all my money every month😢after watching you planning your money maybe I should start to organize my budget too…but we don’t use cash anymore in my country. So maybe I’ll figure out some way I can do budget online. 🎉
Thank you for making these videos :) I will be doing this as my New Year's Resolution - I am terrible with money and especially impulse buying. I think seeing the money physically broken up & playing saving challenges/games will make me see it differently.
This is great for the kiddos but watching this as an adult is driving me nuts…. Learn a few tricks on Microsoft excel by watching RUclips vids, make a chart of your expenses/saving goals, design you excel spreadsheet, you get good at it, show and talk about your excel spreadsheet on job interviews and land a high paying job cause you’re now good and familiar with working with excel spreadsheets. Extra money and new skill acquired!
Love these savings challenges, it might make budgeting a bit more exciting! 💙
Yes it does ☺️
Okay, you know what, I'm always trying to save and stash up at least $300 for significant something but then I need to be on a spending budget of $200 but also need food (but also eat healthier food). Thenon rare occasions, I'll take out either $50 or $150 at most to stash away in case something happens and I end up getting kicked out. But I don't make enough.
I'll do it. 🤩
when maria teaches you more then teachers like omg i will definetily do this THANKS! :D
This makes me realise how much of a cashless society the UK has essentially become in the last few years. Birthday money from my Nan is literally the only notes I ever receive!
Obviously subject to your job of course, but most people are not paid in cash and therfore otherwise don’t have the need to keep it on them or around the house because of how widespread contactless payment is for both small businesses and chains/franchises
Same in my country but i keep some cash for emergency and well for fun.
Which isn’t that good
I just found this channel and this is fascinating to me. My finances are all over the place and there is zero consistency around how much I spend in various categories. I.E. Some weeks I don’t drive at all and some weeks I may be driving to a speaking event 4 hours away. And food is all over the place. Some weeks I’m not feeling well and barely spend any money on food, and other weeks I may go out to eat 3-4 times. I don’t think this sort of budgeting would work for me because my life is just too inconsistent (mostly because of health reasons) but the organizer in me still finds this really interesting!

The envelopes are part of my "no surprises" budget. Dentist envelope $40/month. $1200 for a root canal always comes at the wrong time. Now I have $1200 for the dentist.
$40/month is "consistent." $1200 is not.
I'm 39 and i need this method! Thank you for sharing this!
10 dollars for restaurants is wild🤣🤣🤣
My parents are suffering from financial problems this helped thanks so much!
Maria, I just want to say that you are one of my favorite youtubers. Your voice is always so calming and I love how easy it is to follow your journey.
I love Sweet Bunny Blessings stickers, she has multiple colors to choose from and her shipment is fast. I also like Suns N Roses for other fun stickers, her collection is different and her shipment is also fast.
I can't wait for you to open your Etsy shop!
Thank you so much for your kind word and for shop suggestions! ❤️
I love the idea of having transparent money that means it exist in the bank!
Do they really exist?
I love this!! This is the first video I have seen doing this and up until this point I've not budgeted at all and blown so much money. You have inspired me to start budgeting! I am still young so I am thankful I came across your page, here's to starting something new!
I love these videos, they make me feel safe
I am so bad with my money, but I have been doing better on it recently, so watching your videos always motivates me to improve my saving and minimize my overspending. I love that little binder/wallet! anyways I subscribed so I can get notifications to your channel more often :)
I love the way you send your money wisely
Ah! I love that colorful reflective pouch!
I just loved this video so much. I mean, so much. I have a lot of trouble with money and just watching you saving your money and splitting which amount goes for what just inspired me a lot to look for more tips on your channel! so cute and inspiring :)
I need to try this, I started my very first governmental job and this video showing up now is a sign.
Omg I used to do this with paper money I made as a kid 😭 I used to pretend to be rich and successful. Manifesting from the start 💅🏻😪
Wish I would've been this responsible at 23.... good for you
this was in my recommendations and i have horrible spending addictions i'm assuming bc i'm 18 and just started having a good job i just spend spend spend but this is my sign to start budgeting and to control my impulsivity, tysm!! :)
I’m the opposite I tend not to waste money on frivolous things especially since I dont have a job
I'm 23 too, and I'm broke af, this made me feel the pressure, gotta get it together,thanks for the reality slap
I bought my 1st budgeting booklet beginning this month and It has helped big time normally ill be counting pennies by now not paper bills
I am so glad! 😊
i’m 18 and in college and i’m excited on starting this budgeting journey with my new “big girl” job lol
I am so happy for you! You are going to do great! ☺️
you better really job counting with your money you do have a lot of money. I watch you all the time you are the best RUclipsr because I watched a lot of your videos. I'm six years old. My name is Adalyn and when I get older, I go be a RUclipsr my birthday is in summer, August😊
said i wanted to do this last year & since then i have made so much progress thank u sm 💕
I’m so glad I found this method of budgeting because I am a very visual person. So if I cant see it, it doesn’t exist
Me too! 😊
I would really love how you organise and calculatr your money for your budget system! it's really inspiring how you do it!
I love the new envelopes! I would definitely place an order in the a7 and a6 size!!! Love your videos!! 🥰
Thank you so much! ❤️
I have no idea what you are doing Im super new to this but this just got recomended in my for you page and it's really relaxing to watch
Two into the video!!! I like the dividers with labels!! 🎉❤
When I was in my twenties, fresh out of my parents’ home, I had to do use a similar system (with white envelopes) in order to understand exactly how much I was spending and where it was going.
Watching this video does give me inspiration! I am not a cash person, and only roughly budget on housing, daily spending (tax/phone bill…etc), and others(shopping/beauty..). Mostly pay whatever comes my way. I should start budgeting future plan like travel,insurance and investments.
how do you decide how much money to add to each envelope? and what is your system of different binders? fascinating stuff to watch
It's trail and error. It takes time to figure out what numbers and categories works best for you. These are my usual numbers but sometimes they have to be adjusted. For example if I had plans to go out with friends I would probably add $50 to restaurants. My pink binder is bills, blue is savings, and the clear ones are sinking funds (mini saving for something that will come up like Christmas, Car Registration, Vacation etc.) and of course my wallet for my daily spending. Hope that helps! 😊
Im 18 first year in college i need to budget so badly because i tend to spend so much and not keep track of my spendings i want to be organized so watching this made want to do this method of organizing my money
Unrealistic for me but aesthetically pleasing
☺️
Idk why but these videos are calming
Well done on working so hard & sticking to this! At your age, you are such an amazing example to follow!!!🙏🏼🤗
No idea what’s going on but it was so visually pleasing. At first I thought it was one of those manifestations money counting videos 😂
Fyi: insurance follows the driver, not the car. So you don't need to take over your BF's insurance policy if you can get a better deal elsewhere; he can cancel it and get a prorated refund.
Thank you for letting me know! ☺️
I live in a country where it's illegal for me to work based on my visa, so I'm 18 and have never had a job (though I've wanted one), so I have no idea how to do finances/budget and save. this is teaching me so much, thank you! i'll definitely do this when I get a job.
I like the system. You put clear thought and care into managing your money. I am however confused by the amounts. What restaurant are you going to that you only need $10??? Groceries $80? The rent, I'm guessing you're still living at home?
As I got older, saving money gives me more excitement than spending them.
I’m in loooove with the lilac binder and envelopes! Like absolutely love it!!!😍💜 Yes please sell them! Great vid💕
Thank you so much. I am working on posting them to Etsy! 💕
This is real Boss Babe tings and I thank you for this inspiration/motivation 💰💕
Thank you! ☺️
big fan I love organizing I'm a little to young to start all this but love you ideas *SMILES*
I love budgeting like this but it’s so fascinating to me to see the difference between Canadian and American living expenses.
Like here in Canada an average dinner date with no alcohol is at least $80-$100. And unless you’re a student or child there’s no where you can anything fun for under $40-60.
A date can definitely be 40 without drinks. Maybe even a little less just depending where u go obviously.. But idk what u can get at a restaurant for only $10 maybe I just eat a lot
🇨🇦 is a poor country and a socialist/communist nation, where the country CONTROLS and dictates your life and EVERY move (“free healthcare”= taxe you for everything). Im a dual citizen (🇺🇸🇨🇦). Living expenses in 🇨🇦 is NOTHING compared to the 🇺🇸. It’s 100 times more expensive in the 🇺🇸 than 🇨🇦. Canadians as a nation are LAZY and don’t like to work. AMERICANS: we work and hustle. I have to call out the BS and your statement. Nothing to compare and even correlate 😩😭😂😂💯💯
Stacking out that money like a monopoly banker
ive been here since tiktok and then switched over to your youtube channel! these vids are so calming
what restaurant can you spend just $10 at?
McDonald's maybe? $5 deal
Yeah I was a bit confused abt that
I love your dedication and organization skills! I just hope and pray I'm good at the end of the month when I buy anything out of the ordinary 😅
I appreciate how neat, tidy, and organized this video is, but I wish she'd give more context. Seemed like some categories were so similar or duplicates and many categories, relationally, weren't balanced. For example, birthdays got $50 while investing got $17. Touching on financial goals might provide a bit of clarity for the video. Otherwise, it was interesting to watch.
Great job Jayden🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽Y’all are doing very well!! 💜💜
Do you have a video explaining all of your envelopes/binders and how to get started with this method?
im turning 16 soon, and this is making me feel more comfortable with my ocd and how i wanted to handle my money 😂 i will defienitly be supporting your esty for my sake and yours!!! tysm for this brillent idea.
I love Moterm wallets, I want one so bad. But I can’t afford it just yet. But soon! Watching y’all videos makes me so motivated, I’ve been trying to start, but things keep happening where I have to empty my envelopes before I can get them to grow, and I don’t even stuff them all as it is. 🥺 I’m determined to figure it out though, and the more videos I watch, the better I feel about doing this. I’m hoping that starting my next check I’ll be able to pull out for just a few sinking funds, while leaving my bills in my account (I’m too scared to take them out yet), and I’ll be able to slowly stuff them as my bills are taken care of, and I get a bit of a buffer in my account.
I like this in theory and makes money more tangible then just phones or cards I could never willingly deal with cash. It's just easier and you can use a smaller wallet
To be honest, there are so many categories and challenges in this money stuffing that it isn't that practical to execute, although I have to agree that it is aesthetically pleasing to watch.
Everything is so aesthetically pleasing!
hey i’m new here, love this idea but i have a few questions. on the categories like restaurants, why do you only put $10 in there? i understand you’re saving it’s just realistically restaurants aren’t that cheap. same with groceries, how does $80 get you by for the month? is this a monthly thing or is it shorter time periods that this is for. sorry if i’m wrong about something haha just a general thought i had
As far as groceries, she lives at home, so she likely just pitches and/or goes and purchases her own wants. The restaurant one does have me scratching my head. Is drink money? Tip money? Perhaps it becomes redundant to repeat all of these things in every video, but she should have something written out in the description so that people getting recommended these videos aren’t so lost. This seems to work well for her because she’s unmarried, seemingly child-free, and living at home.
Her rent is only $145 so I’m assuming she lives with her parents/family. Some of the other bills seem low too so I’m assuming her family agrees she pitches in a certain amount. Still it’s nice to see people budgeting and making emergency funds and not counting on family to be a safety net.
The overall idea is applicable to other lifestyles. I’ve been using this method but leaving my money in the bank and having an excel spreadsheet “envelopes”. I don’t trust cash around even the best roommates.
I’ve been doing it since I moved out at 18. It didn’t feel like it was working for the first 5-7 years but years later I’m hitting my financial goals despite only having modest income. In the early years I felt like it wasn’t working because my monthly savings were so small but friends in similar circumstances took on expensive car loans and credit card debt during that time to have a similar lifestyle.
I’m assuming the $10 a month for restaurants is just 1-2 coffees or one drink out. Or she saves ten dollars for several months and then treats herself to something bigger. Some people don’t eat in restaurants or take a break from restaurants while saving for something special. If you go to restaurants give that envelope more. 😊. Her amounts won’t work for other people, you need to make your own realistic amounts that fit in your budget.
@@CerealSalad yes thank you, i 100% agree, it nice to see this over other people on the internet spending money on useless things. id love to start doing this at some point but as i’m 17 the money i earn can be practically used for anything so i don’t need to budget just yet haha. i know ofc other people’s budgets wouldn’t work for other people, i was just genuinely curious what restaurants she was going to that are so cheap hahaha. thank you for your insight tho i find it really interesting!!
