When I was 23 I saved 100k and I'll tell you what. I never knew what I needed to know back then. Because I had to goals. And now that I have grown a bit older and am a bit wiser I understand what I had so I will be doing it again and investing it and buying a home. And I think I might just start posting it on this account
Awesome job I started my first 100 envelope challenge on Dec 1, 2023 just to get out of debt and I am also doing other savings challenges to set aside for what we need. I am almost 61 and I wished this was around when I was in my 20's better late than never. I have learned so much from these videos. I found these videos being advertised on Facebook passed it up until one day I started thinking about it and then I started watching these videos on RUclips. Best decision I made now my family is supporting my savings.
Wow…this is SO awesome!! I’m so glad you found these videos… I share the same experience… I did my first 100 envelope challenge in 2023, but I found it December 2022… I’ve never saved this kind of money before, I literally was content with saving $1000 a year! These challenges have truly made a difference!!! Keep going, you will LOVE the result!!! I greatly appreciate you watching my video and sharing your experience!!
It’s amazing how my brain can help comprehend that I was able to do this challenge, and it was very likely that I would complete it-BUT I vividly remember my beginnings and my struggles… I am so humbled that I was able to do this!! Seriously I was perfectly content with saving $1000 a year😳 but you know better you do better!!! I am so grateful for all of you who documented your journey because it has helped me accomplish what I did in this challenge! Thank you for paving the way, Tasha😍😍😍
Congratulations great job I'm going to try something this year ot maybe small because I have a lot of debt but thank God this is the year 2024 I will be paying off several bills
Yes…paying off the debt will bring you some relief…I remember that stage and I know it’s hard, but it’s worth the sacrifices…the grass is greener on the other side financially!! I greatly appreciate you being here!!! Thank you!!!
Another one! *in my DJ Khaled voice* Yay, Melissa! 🎉Less than a year, that is so great! I love to see when you complete these challenges and your plans to distribute the funds! 😊🌺🐝
Yessss, thank you so very much Jeannine… I’m actually over here dancing a little!! I greatly appreciate you celebrating and sharing in my excitement!!!
So inspiring! Congrats on finishing this challenge! I started mine in June and will be carrying it over into the new year. I would love to do a 10k version when this one is over
Thank you so very much… the timeframe doesn’t matter you were being consistent and when you get it done, it will come right on time!!! I’m rooting for you!!!
This was so satisfying to watch, Melissa: this video and all of the videos along the way. You will forever be the queen of the 100 envelope challenge 👑
Thank you, Katie!! I really can’t express how grateful I am for your constant support!! I feel extremely blessed to be able to stay consistent with the savings challenges.!!!
I love the spending plan!!! I started my savings challenge this week and I started budgeting a few months ago, but seeing your yearly expenses including self care is so helpful
Thank you so much Shanny!!! I definitely like to dream on paper throughout the year… I’m taking self-care much more seriously now!!! I greatly appreciate you being here!!!
Everyone should pay attention to this! Saving for the NEXT year is brilliant! ❤you’re brilliant! I can see how this would help you save more the next year! Great demonstration ❤❤❤❤
Thank you SO much Armonni!! This is exactly the point… the more I’ve been able to plan ahead the more I’ve been able to save!! I greatly appreciate you being here!!!
This is so beautiful. So inspirational. So happy for you to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Mind blowing 10k savings in 1 year for selfcare along with other responsibilities is so awesome. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏽🌲🍾
I didn’t know that I counted different until I joined this community!! I used to work in the cash office at TJ Maxx in at the casino in Atlantic City… my brain wander so I’d like to count that way so whatever number I end on, I know that’s how much money I have!! I greatly appreciate you being here💕💕💕💕
Yesssss stacks of a $1,000...not $100s, but THOUSANDS!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 Get money!!! Melissa, I am SOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU, SIS!!!! And your channel is blowing up!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 You know I just absolutely love how organized you are with planning out your year....#goals!!!
It’s definitely a blessing!! if I’m being honest, I did not envision this in my life… I know it’s easy for other people to look at me and say, of course, you could do this, but I didn’t see it for myself!!! Finding these challenges has changed everything for me… it has elevated the way I think even!!! Community is so important and I was missing this in my life! I appreciate you so much, Nita!!! I’m grateful for your support!!! I’m grateful for you, sharing in my excitement and celebrating with me!!! my channel growth was such a pleasant surprise!! There really I s no rhyme or reason to how or why RUclips promotes certain videos… this is the main reason why I do videos that I wanna watch only!! I’m grateful when a video gets over 1000 views, but not upset when it only gets 200 views!!! 2023 has been an amazing year for me on RUclips and financially!! I am very excited to see what 2024 has in store!! I love you sis and I pray you have a wonderful new year💕💕💕💕
13:32 you are so inspiring! I'm starting a 100 envelope challenge next year and I'm excited about getting to the end. What I've gathered is that consistency and intentionality is the key. Thank you for sharing 💕
Absolutely… consistency will get you to the end… of course we all want to finish within a year but if it took you a year and a half wouldn’t $5000 still come in handy🤔 I love this challenge and having a lump sum of money to be able to make bigger decisions!!! Thank you so much for being here!!!
Melissa, I’m soooo happy for you. Great job completing this challenge. I love that you are setting a nice amount of money aside for YOURSELF. I love this for you❤❤❤ I loved when you fanned out the money, beautiful 😊
This is so amazing Melissa! I love how you broke down where everything is going! Definitely treat yourself with your hair, nails and massages! I can’t wait for next year!
Hi Shirley!! I greatly appreciate you being here!!! I am learning that self-care is a practice… and I know that the accountant in me loves directing where my money should go… so now it actually happens!! I greatly appreciate your support!! I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas!!!
You are so right… consistency was definitely the key!! I’m hoping for the same consistency for this year as I save $15,000!!! I greatly appreciate you being here!! Thank you!!!
Yesssss Melissa! Where you are now, is where Im trying to go. I love thst you showed your breakdown of where your money is going. The last item in your list, has been at the forefront of my list. I would love to have gas expense prepaid annually, and as usual thanks for continuing to motivate me and this community! Enjoy your weekend and Christmas!
Nita you just gave me an idea… I’m going now go back through my statements and see if I can see how much I spent on gas for the year, so I can know what I should be saving for!!! I love that we get ideas from each other in this community!!! Thank you for sharing in my excitement and celebrating with me!!! I greatly appreciate you friend💕💕💕
Thank you so much, Melissa!! I’m actually coming up for air now that I’m done hosting Christmas… I can return to watching videos and reply to my comments😂😂😂 I greatly appreciate your support!!!
Eeeeek! So excited and happy for you. I need to find a box and make envelopes for 2024. I like the idea of not having to fold the money. I watched this video twice. I was at work and couldn't comment. Once I got home I watched it again. Ahhhh so therapeutic and inspiring. JUST WOW! Congratulations and Thank you for taking us along for the adventure.
Thank you Tonja!! I greatly appreciate you coming back and leaving this comment… honestly just the watch hours and running some of the ads was gift enough!! I got my box from the dollar tree around Mother’s Day a year or two ago and I made my own envelopes!!! It’s funny how the pretty colors and the vibrant colors just help keep you motivated to stuff!!! Thank you so much for sharing in my excitement and celebrating with me!!!
All that beautiful money! I love how you count that cash. Great breakdown and love the self care that you prioritize for yourself. Melissa = Intentional 🥰13:39
Hi Lisa!!! I’m finally coming up for air after hosting Christmas😂😂😂 it was fun but work!!! I greatly appreciate you being here!!! Melissa means honeybee and when you break it down I’m a worker and intentional!! Thank you for always speaking such kind words over me.!!! I hope you had a very enjoyable Christmas!!!
Thank you Caro!!! I am proud of myself. I’m very humbled because I remember my beginnings so vividly!! I truly was content just saving $1000 a year… I’m so pleased I have been able to do more!!! Saving challenges really did my perspective of what I could do!! I appreciate you being here you being excited with me and you celebrating with me💕💕💕
Millionaire Melissa! Congrats on saving $10.5K! That's so exciting! Yes to prioritizing self care! Love that for you! I'm prioritizing self care in the new year, too. 💜💜💜
Hi Jerri!! Thank you so much for sharing in my excitement and celebrating with me!!! It’s funny that self-care is something I have to practice, so the accountant in me is not gonna let those gift cards once I purchase them😂😂😂 I greatly appreciate your support!!!
Thank YOU AP!! I can hear your voice in my head as I read this comment… thank you for sharing in the excitement of this accomplishment with me!! that’s some true friend!!! I appreciate you💕💕
Morning Melissa! Look at those crisp bills and beautiful envelopes! 😍 Amazing!!🙌🏾I was mesmerized with the counting. What a blessing!! Hard work and consistency for the win! 🎉🎉🎉
Morning Imani!!! Yes, i’m so grateful I could stay consistent this year!! it’s not lost on me the blessing of not having pop-ups and having did the financial work earlier in life!!! I’m so appreciative of your constant support!!! Thank you for cheering me on, and encouraging me all along the way!!! Have a wonderful day friend!!!
I struggle with self-care too, so my therapist and my husband make me practice!! I needed to become muscle memory!! Thank you so much for being here, Frances😍😍
I love that the money is coming out straight too!!! 😍❤️❤️❤️ woohoo!!!! Yay I’m so happy for your Melissa! This was so satisfying to watch ❤ also love the spending breakdown!! ❤
Thanks Lina!! Having the money laid out straight eliminates, or one more step in the unstuffing process!!! I feel extremely blessed to be able to stay consistent with these challenges!! I greatly appreciate you being here😍😍😍😍
Ahh I’m so proud of you! It is incredible that you finished this & I just love seeing all those cute envelopes laid out 🎉 That breakdown is incredible & so smart so that you are intentional with where that money goes now 👏🏼
Thank you SO much Lindsay!!! I greatly appreciate you being!! I tell you, friend obedience has truly paid off!! I remember in the beginning of my journey wishing I could have certain things, but I knew the Lord wanted me to be responsible!! I would feel guilty when I charge something and didn’t have the money!! of course I wasn’t charging the right thing either😂😂😂 I know this is God because I didn’t plan RUclips, I didn’t plan saving… I was content with $1000 a year… that really does give us more than we can even imagine or think!!! I am truly grateful!!!
Amazing!!!! So motivating and I can’t wait to start my 100 envelope challenge next year. Great breakdown too. You are being intentional with this money which is great.
Thank you Vicky!! I really do love this challenge… I love having a lump sum to allocate… it really gives us the opportunity to pay something off or do something we really!!! Thank you so much for being here.!!!
Wowwww $10,500 that's awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Congratulations 🎊 👏🏽 💐 🥳 I love how you spread it out, I'm excited for you too Wow 20 years budgeter 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💐💐💐💐💐💐
Thank you SO much Debbie!! Yes, I am a long-term Budget but a new term saver… I was saving minimally in my budget probably $3000 a year. Pull the savings out in cash has multiplied our savings tremendously!!! I’m hoping one day I can do it but the muscle memory just isn’t there yet!! Thank you so much for being here and celebrating with me😍😍😍
Melissa I just noticed you hit 2k subscribers!! Congrats!!! So amazing that you were able to save over 10k in a little less than a year! Love the detailed breakdown, I also did a similar spreadsheet for my sinking funds and monetary goals for each! It is so nice to see that you will be focusing money specifically for self care!
Thank you, Jessi… you’re the first one to notice that I hit 2K… this just happened in the last week… my last two videos, got a lot more attention from RUclips🤷🏽♀️ I wish I understood why but I’m grateful for it!! I am extremely grateful that I was able to stay consistent this year !! It’s a blessing to be able to fund so many things that I like to do for next year so I can focus on my next goal of $15K!! I think making the spreadsheet aware the money is going to go is in our blood because we are budgeters… we tell our money where to go because we know it will just go away if we don’t!!! Thank you so much for being here.!!!
I know I am sooo late. But congrats Melissa. It was a pleasure watching you push to accomplish your goal! I love how you prioritize yourself! Awesome stuffing, I appreciate you sharing your 2024 plan. ❤
You are never late Dee!!! I appreciate any time that you can spend with me… I completely understand. Life is always lifeing😂😂 I greatly appreciate you and your time!!!
I really can’t express how grateful I am that you are excited for me and celebrating with me!! I feel safe in this community to share my accomplishments that has not always been easy for me!! The road to $15K has begun!! I simply appreciate you wanting to stay on the journey with me!!!
This was so much fun. I watched it while I was driving into the office and it was better than my cup of coffee. 😂 I loved the unstuffing and how you broke down what you’re going to use the money for. I am very happy you’re putting a decent amount towards self-care because you deserve it for all of your hard work. Thanks Melissa for showing all of us that we can do this too! 🎉🎉❤
Hi Debra… I’m finally coming up from air after hosting Christmas🫨 thank you so much!! I greatly appreciate you celebrating with me and cheering me on!! I do the same thing and listen while I’m driving… honestly that’s the only way I can support sometimes!!! Thank you so much for being here!!!
This was pure satisfaction 🎉.. Congratulations on completing your challenge and how inspiring... Love that you prioritising yourself.. Something we easily forget to do. Especially as you have a larger goal next year.. You will definitely achieve it cause you putting value on yourself ❤
Thank you SO very much Gillian!!! When I first started therapy, my therapist would ask how do I care for myself? I honestly couldn’t say…. fast-forward to now I practice self-care!! I treat myself how I want others to treat me… I give to myself as I would give to others… I wouldn’t bad and I to spend $50 on someone else but I had every excuse why I shouldn’t do it for myself… so I have to change that muscle memory too!! I greatly appreciate you being here!!!
congratulations, so proud of you! cant wait for the photo album unstuffing… ive purchased my photo album for 2024 and am going to do it too! 😊🥰thankyou fir the inspiration 🤩🤩
Thank you SO much!!! I have the unstuffing for the album scheduled for 12/26!!! I’m glad to hear that you’re all geared up and ready to start saving in 2024…please let me know how it’s going from time to time!!!!

Thank you so much for being!!! Welcome!! I greatly appreciate your support!!! I totally agree. The amount doesn’t matter as much as the consistency…. Do what you can as often as you can and you definitely will see it grow.!!! I greatly appreciate you being here and celebrating with me.!!!!
Thank you Wendy!!! I greatly appreciate you celebrating with me!!! You can do this to Wendy… little by little and it’s so worth it!!! I appreciate you being here💕💕💕
Hey Girl Hey! Thank you SOOOOO Much for the happy mail and Birthday Card and gift!! you are too Sweet!!! I fell short on sending Christmas cards this year. I'm sad but life was throwing us curve balls lol... I really appreciate you!! I'm too excited for you finishing this challenge!!!
You are so welcome… life happens… don’t feel bad about not sending Christmas cards!! We all have those seasons… your job right now is just to get through it… everything else will work itself out!! I greatly appreciate you!!! Thank you so very much for being here and supporting me.💕💕💕
MELISSA!!!! You did such an amazing job saving $10.5K!!!! I have been waiting impatiently for this video 😂😂 I love how you allocated your money and especially that you put so much into self care. ❤️ You are #goals 🎉❤
Thank you SO much Barb!!! I’m so touched that you follow my journey so closely!!! It is truly a blessing to be able to stay consistent!! I didn’t really envision this for myself… I’m very responsible with my budget, but wasn’t that great with saving. Find this community open my eyes to how I could do better!!! I’m definitely grateful!!! I greatly appreciate you being here and being excited with me and celebrating with me.💕💕💕
Hey. I watched this again. It’s hey hard but I’m going to finish mine soon. Life is lifing again this year. I’m still here just working a lot. Great motivation
Thank you!!! I did the 100 envelope challenge for the first time in 2022… I stumbled across a video at Christmas in 2021 and I jumped in headfirst… the first time I did it. I did it the traditional way and save $5050. I’ve been budgeting for over 19 years, but I wasn’t great at saving…. This challenge has changed all of that. I would highly recommend for anyone to give it a try!! I’m not gonna lie after about three months it does get super challenging… I think we start off with a lot of adrenaline and motivation but it does take some mental capacity to stay consistent! Of course, I’ve I’ve had to make some sacrifices too… the second go round wasn’t so hard mentally, but it is still challenging to stay consistent of stuffing the envelopes! Thank you so much for being here!!!
Hi! New subscriber 😊 Congratulations on completing your 100 envelope challenge, it’s so rewarding to watch your hard work paying off ❤️. I enjoyed watching 😊
Hi!! Welcome… sorry I’m a few days behind on my comments… I hosted Christmas, so I’m just coming up for air😂😂😂 Thank you so very much for being here!!! I greatly appreciate your support!!!
Melissa, great job saving!! That totally inspires me that I can do it too. I just started truly budgeting a couple weeks ago, so Ill have to watch your previous videos to see what method you used. I also love the break down at the end to show how you allocated the money!🎉
You absolutely can do it too!!! I think we should remove the timeframe and just be as consistent as we can be… it doesn’t matter when you finish it will come in handy!! I’ve been budgeting for over 20 years so I don’t have much debt… just my mortgage and my husband’s truck!! we are at the point in our financial journey that we have more discretionary income!! my husband and I both get allowance and I use my allowance for these challenges!! no matter what your situation is you can always save even if it’s a small amount eventually it will grow!! I greatly appreciate you being!!!
@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat We have our mortgage and a small loan on the home we built for my parents (attached to our home-they both have dementia). We used to have lots of discretionary income when we both worked, but I have stepped away from being a Realtor to care for momma and daddy full time, so we are down to one income, but it's all good! Thank you for your encouragement!!
WOW! just the visual of it all JUST WOW! I am so proud of you sis. I always knew you were going to reach this goal and yes! you were so intentional (you always are) you're such an inspiration Melissa, truly. I am so excited for all the fun things you're going to do this money! YOU DESERVE IT!!! also I am a total nerd for how you count, organize and your sheet of goals I LOVE AN ORGANIZED MIND! SO SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY FOR YOU! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! YESSS COME BACK TO NYC!!!! IM TOO EXCITED TO WRITE IN LOWER CASE LOL 🤣
THANK YOU, KIARA😍😍😍 I feel your excitement!!! I feel so loved… I feel so grateful… I feel humble!!! I’m so glad I have a community that I can share my accomplishment!!! I can’t really express how much it means to me that you share in my excitement and you celebrate with me!!! From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!! I LOVE YOU SIS!!! I’m actively planning my NYC return…I’ll let you in the loop!!
This is soooo awesome! You have definitely inspired me to save for things I want in the next year. It sounds so freeing 😅 amazing job! Can’t wait to see what you do in 2024!
Thank you SO much!!! it really is freeing… I think the hard part is figuring out what we really want!! I have been on a journey to learn how to care for myself completely!! I could have saved like this years ago, but I didn’t see it… I still had a poor mentality… now that I can “have what I want.” The material things don’t have much value…. I can see more value in my husband and my children. I’m learning to be content and it’s a peace that I can’t explain. I greatly appreciate you being here.
Thanks for subbing! I greatly appreciate your support!! Yes, we have debt but it’s only my husband‘s truck and our mortgage! I found Dave Ramsey back in 2003, so I have been budgeting for over 20 years!!! Although I was great at telling my money, where to go, I wasn’t always saving as well as I could have!! I rested on the fact that we have 401(k)s and real estate!! But the closer I get to retirement the more cash on hand, I want to see!! I found the 100 envelope challenge Christmas 2021 and I completed it for the first time in 2022 for $5050!!! I was able to do it in eight months the first time and that made me realize that with more intentionality I could save more!! I’m enjoying the journey and (RUclips) has been very fun and supportive for me!! I have a $15,000 goal for next year that I’ve already started!!! Thank you so much for being here. I greatly appreciate you!!!
@@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat Thank you for having me. I recently learned about Dave Ramsey & I am striving to be where you are! I recently started doing the 100 envelope challenge myself.
@@SummerSorrowremember, that the road will be bumpy at times, but you can do it…slow and steady wins the race. You’ll have to make some sacrifices (it’s the only way to change your muscle memory and mentality to spending and saving!) I promise it will be worth the sacrifices!!!
Thank you so much Elba!!! I received your Christmas card…THANK YOU!!! I greatly appreciate you thinking about me and for being here!!! Merry Christmas friend!!!
When I was 23 I saved 100k and I'll tell you what. I never knew what I needed to know back then. Because I had to goals. And now that I have grown a bit older and am a bit wiser I understand what I had so I will be doing it again and investing it and buying a home. And I think I might just start posting it on this account
Thank you for watching!!!
What did u do with the 100k??? U didn’t buy a home?
Unstuffings are so motivating to watch 👜💸🫧😍
They are! I love them too… it’s what drew me to this community!!! I greatly appreciate you being here!!!

I love that we get ideas from each other in this community!!! Thank you for sharing in my excitement and celebrating with me!!! I greatly appreciate you friend💕💕💕
Binge watching and playing catch up at the right time - so excited for these unstuffings…the journey has been great to follow!
Thank you so much, Melissa!! I’m actually coming up for air now that I’m done hosting Christmas… I can return to watching videos and reply to my comments😂😂😂 I greatly appreciate your support!!!
Congrats again, Melissa for saving this amount! I really admire you! ❤🙏
Thank you so very much Rox!! I greatly appreciate you!! I received your Christmas card too!!! Thank YOU!!!
That's a blessing to be so disciplined in saving that amount.
I completely agree… I feel extremely blessed to have been able to stay consistent!! I greatly appreciate you being here💕💕💕
Eeeeek! So excited and happy for you. I need to find a box and make envelopes for 2024. I like the idea of not having to fold the money. I watched this video twice. I was at work and couldn't comment. Once I got home I watched it again. Ahhhh so therapeutic and inspiring. JUST WOW! Congratulations and Thank you for taking us along for the adventure.
Thank you Tonja!! I greatly appreciate you coming back and leaving this comment… honestly just the watch hours and running some of the ads was gift enough!! I got my box from the dollar tree around Mother’s Day a year or two ago and I made my own envelopes!!! It’s funny how the pretty colors and the vibrant colors just help keep you motivated to stuff!!! Thank you so much for sharing in my excitement and celebrating with me!!!
All that beautiful money! I love how you count that cash. Great breakdown and love the self care that you prioritize for yourself.

@@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat Have a wonderful day as well friend! 💜🌻😊
Loved watching this Melissa! You spread that money very well. Self care is something I struggle with. Thank you for always being an inspiration ❤
I struggle with self-care too, so my therapist and my husband make me practice!! I needed to become muscle memory!! Thank you so much for being here, Frances😍😍
CONGRATULATIONS Melissa on achieving your SAVINGS Goal 🎉❤🎉👏🏾🎉
Thank YOU SO much Elma!!! I appreciate you being here and celebrating with me!!!
I love that the money is coming out straight too!!! 😍❤️❤️❤️ woohoo!!!! Yay I’m so happy for your Melissa! This was so satisfying to watch ❤ also love the spending breakdown!! ❤
Thanks Lina!! Having the money laid out straight eliminates, or one more step in the unstuffing process!!! I feel extremely blessed to be able to stay consistent with these challenges!! I greatly appreciate you being here😍😍😍😍
YAY! Congratulations on such a HUGE accomplishment!
Thank you so much!! I greatly appreciate you being here💕💕💕
Ahh I’m so proud of you! It is incredible that you finished this & I just love seeing all those cute envelopes laid out 🎉 That breakdown is incredible & so smart so that you are intentional with where that money goes now 👏🏼
Thank you SO much Lindsay!!! I greatly appreciate you being!! I tell you, friend obedience has truly paid off!! I remember in the beginning of my journey wishing I could have certain things, but I knew the Lord wanted me to be responsible!! I would feel guilty when I charge something and didn’t have the money!! of course I wasn’t charging the right thing either😂😂😂 I know this is God because I didn’t plan RUclips, I didn’t plan saving… I was content with $1000 a year… that really does give us more than we can even imagine or think!!! I am truly grateful!!!
Amazing!!!! So motivating and I can’t wait to start my 100 envelope challenge next year.
Great breakdown too. You are being intentional with this money which is great.
Thank you Vicky!! I really do love this challenge… I love having a lump sum to allocate… it really gives us the opportunity to pay something off or do something we really!!! Thank you so much for being here.!!!
Wowwww $10,500 that's awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Congratulations 🎊 👏🏽 💐 🥳
I love how you spread it out, I'm excited for you too
Wow 20 years budgeter 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💐💐💐💐💐💐
Thank you SO much Debbie!! Yes, I am a long-term Budget but a new term saver… I was saving minimally in my budget probably $3000 a year. Pull the savings out in cash has multiplied our savings tremendously!!! I’m hoping one day I can do it but the muscle memory just isn’t there yet!! Thank you so much for being here and celebrating with me😍😍😍
Hey Melissa excited for this unstuffing ❤ great job! You’ve work really hard saving this money. You were so consistent.
Thank you Ro…I’m sooo grateful I was able to stay consistent…I greatly appreciate you cheering me on all along the way too!!! Have a wonderful day!!!
Thks for sharing this idea
Most welcome 😊 thanks for being here!!!!
Wow that’s amazing. I’m going back to hear your story. Inspiration!!!! I plan on using saving Challenges next year to save money.
Thank you so very much for being here!! I greatly appreciate you sharing in my excitement and celebrating with me!!!!
Congratulations 🎉
What a mice accomplishment.
Glad you are giving back to yourself
👏🏼👏🏽👏🏼👏🏽
Thank you Tess!! I greatly appreciate you being here and celebrating with me🥹🥹🥹
Melissa I just noticed you hit 2k subscribers!! Congrats!!! So amazing that you were able to save over 10k in a little less than a year! Love the detailed breakdown, I also did a similar spreadsheet for my sinking funds and monetary goals for each! It is so nice to see that you will be focusing money specifically for self care!
Thank you, Jessi… you’re the first one to notice that I hit 2K… this just happened in the last week… my last two videos, got a lot more attention from RUclips🤷🏽♀️ I wish I understood why but I’m grateful for it!!
I am extremely grateful that I was able to stay consistent this year !! It’s a blessing to be able to fund so many things that I like to do for next year so I can focus on my next goal of $15K!! I think making the spreadsheet aware the money is going to go is in our blood because we are budgeters… we tell our money where to go because we know it will just go away if we don’t!!! Thank you so much for being here.!!!
I know I am sooo late. But congrats Melissa. It was a pleasure watching you push to accomplish your goal! I love how you prioritize yourself! Awesome stuffing, I appreciate you sharing your 2024 plan. ❤
You are never late Dee!!! I appreciate any time that you can spend with me… I completely understand. Life is always lifeing😂😂 I greatly appreciate you and your time!!!
😮Woah, $10, 500. That's a lot. Oh, the fan out of the money was so satisfying to see 👀. I'm so ready for next year
I really can’t express how grateful I am that you are excited for me and celebrating with me!! I feel safe in this community to share my accomplishments that has not always been easy for me!! The road to $15K has begun!! I simply appreciate you wanting to stay on the journey with me!!!
This was so much fun. I watched it while I was driving into the office and it was better than my cup of coffee. 😂 I loved the unstuffing and how you broke down what you’re going to use the money for. I am very happy you’re putting a decent amount towards self-care because you deserve it for all of your hard work. Thanks Melissa for showing all of us that we can do this too! 🎉🎉❤
Hopfully you were taking the bus otherwise please get off the road lol
@@purpleskies4553 I listened while driving. The same as anyone who is listening to a podcast or the radio.
Hi Debra… I’m finally coming up from air after hosting Christmas🫨 thank you so much!! I greatly appreciate you celebrating with me and cheering me on!! I do the same thing and listen while I’m driving… honestly that’s the only way I can support sometimes!!! Thank you so much for being here!!!
Good morning love!! I'm so proud of and happy for you!! I'm tearing up!!!! Happy tears!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you SO much Tara!!! You’re making me tear up!!! I genuinely know you care and support me😍😍😍😍 I’m immensely grateful for you💕💕💕
This was pure satisfaction 🎉.. Congratulations on completing your challenge and how inspiring... Love that you prioritising yourself.. Something we easily forget to do. Especially as you have a larger goal next year.. You will definitely achieve it cause you putting value on yourself ❤
Thank you SO very much Gillian!!! When I first started therapy, my therapist would ask how do I care for myself? I honestly couldn’t say…. fast-forward to now I practice self-care!! I treat myself how I want others to treat me… I give to myself as I would give to others… I wouldn’t bad and I to spend $50 on someone else but I had every excuse why I shouldn’t do it for myself… so I have to change that muscle memory too!! I greatly appreciate you being here!!!
congratulations, so proud of you! cant wait for the photo album unstuffing… ive purchased my photo album for 2024 and am going to do it too! 😊🥰thankyou fir the inspiration 🤩🤩
Thank you SO much!!! I have the unstuffing for the album scheduled for 12/26!!! I’m glad to hear that you’re all geared up and ready to start saving in 2024…please let me know how it’s going from time to time!!!!

Thank you😍😍😍
Amazing savings and allocation for 2024!
Thank you SO much Susan!! I appreciate you watching and celebrating with me!!!
This is so awesome!! Im gonna do it for 2024! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!!! I did the 100 envelope challenge for the first time in 2022… I stumbled across a video at Christmas in 2021 and I jumped in headfirst… the first time I did it. I did it the traditional way and save $5050. I’ve been budgeting for over 19 years, but I wasn’t great at saving…. This challenge has changed all of that. I would highly recommend for anyone to give it a try!! I’m not gonna lie after about three months it does get super challenging… I think we start off with a lot of adrenaline and motivation but it does take some mental capacity to stay consistent! Of course, I’ve I’ve had to make some sacrifices too… the second go round wasn’t so hard mentally, but it is still challenging to stay consistent of stuffing the envelopes! Thank you so much for being here!!!
This is just awesome! Congratulations 🎉 $10.5k and great allocation ❤
Thank you very much Fiona… it was truly a blessing to have been able to stay consistent.!!!
Hi! New subscriber 😊 Congratulations on completing your 100 envelope challenge, it’s so rewarding to watch your hard work paying off ❤️. I enjoyed watching 😊
Hi!! Welcome… sorry I’m a few days behind on my comments… I hosted Christmas, so I’m just coming up for air😂😂😂 Thank you so very much for being here!!! I greatly appreciate your support!!!
@@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat Hi! No worries.😊You are very welcome. Hopefully you kick back and relax
This video just popped up and I’m glad I watched. New subscriber here
Thank YOU!! I greatly appreciate your support!!! I’ll head over to your channel soon!!
This was amazing to watch and soooo inspiring!!!😃🤩💖🌸🌺
Thank you SO much Paula!!!
Melissa, great job saving!! That totally inspires me that I can do it too. I just started truly budgeting a couple weeks ago, so Ill have to watch your previous videos to see what method you used. I also love the break down at the end to show how you allocated the money!🎉
You absolutely can do it too!!! I think we should remove the timeframe and just be as consistent as we can be… it doesn’t matter when you finish it will come in handy!! I’ve been budgeting for over 20 years so I don’t have much debt… just my mortgage and my husband’s truck!! we are at the point in our financial journey that we have more discretionary income!! my husband and I both get allowance and I use my allowance for these challenges!! no matter what your situation is you can always save even if it’s a small amount eventually it will grow!! I greatly appreciate you being!!!
@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat We have our mortgage and a small loan on the home we built for my parents (attached to our home-they both have dementia). We used to have lots of discretionary income when we both worked, but I have stepped away from being a Realtor to care for momma and daddy full time, so we are down to one income, but it's all good! Thank you for your encouragement!!
@@WhatMattersMostNow you are truly a blessing to care for your parents the you are!!
@@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat they make me laugh every day!
WOW!! Thats Amazing Congratulations!! 😮😊❤
Thank you SO much!! I greatly appreciate you being here💕💕💕
WOW! just the visual of it all JUST WOW! I am so proud of you sis. I always knew you were going to reach this goal and yes! you were so intentional (you always are) you're such an inspiration Melissa, truly. I am so excited for all the fun things you're going to do this money! YOU DESERVE IT!!! also I am a total nerd for how you count, organize and your sheet of goals I LOVE AN ORGANIZED MIND! SO SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY FOR YOU! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! YESSS COME BACK TO NYC!!!! IM TOO EXCITED TO WRITE IN LOWER CASE LOL 🤣
THANK YOU, KIARA😍😍😍 I feel your excitement!!! I feel so loved… I feel so grateful… I feel humble!!! I’m so glad I have a community that I can share my accomplishment!!! I can’t really express how much it means to me that you share in my excitement and you celebrate with me!!! From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!! I LOVE YOU SIS!!! I’m actively planning my NYC return…I’ll let you in the loop!!
Congratulations 🎉 Great job! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Good morning!! Well done!! 🎉
Thank you SO much Angie!!! Merry Christmas!!!
@@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat Merry Christmas to you all!!
Nooo way I missed this video🙄 Yayyy so excited to watch ❤😊
It’s all good!!! I appreciate you being excited for me and celebrating with me!!!
This is soooo awesome! You have definitely inspired me to save for things I want in the next year. It sounds so freeing 😅 amazing job! Can’t wait to see what you do in 2024!
Thank you SO much!!! it really is freeing… I think the hard part is figuring out what we really want!! I have been on a journey to learn how to care for myself completely!! I could have saved like this years ago, but I didn’t see it… I still had a poor mentality… now that I can “have what I want.” The material things don’t have much value…. I can see more value in my husband and my children. I’m learning to be content and it’s a peace that I can’t explain. I greatly appreciate you being here.
My 1st time watching your video & my 1st thought was… she must not have any debt!! Love your video, I will be subscribing!
Thanks for subbing! I greatly appreciate your support!! Yes, we have debt but it’s only my husband‘s truck and our mortgage! I found Dave Ramsey back in 2003, so I have been budgeting for over 20 years!!! Although I was great at telling my money, where to go, I wasn’t always saving as well as I could have!! I rested on the fact that we have 401(k)s and real estate!! But the closer I get to retirement the more cash on hand, I want to see!! I found the 100 envelope challenge Christmas 2021 and I completed it for the first time in 2022 for $5050!!! I was able to do it in eight months the first time and that made me realize that with more intentionality I could save more!! I’m enjoying the journey and (RUclips) has been very fun and supportive for me!! I have a $15,000 goal for next year that I’ve already started!!! Thank you so much for being here. I greatly appreciate you!!!
@@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat Thank you for having me. I recently learned about Dave Ramsey & I am striving to be where you are! I recently started doing the 100 envelope challenge myself.
@@SummerSorrowremember, that the road will be bumpy at times, but you can do it…slow and steady wins the race. You’ll have to make some sacrifices (it’s the only way to change your muscle memory and mentality to spending and saving!) I promise it will be worth the sacrifices!!!
Aaahhh; this is amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you so much Elba!!! I received your Christmas card…THANK YOU!!! I greatly appreciate you thinking about me and for being here!!! Merry Christmas friend!!!
@@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat 💜💜💜
