I carry a cash back credit card. I reduced my credit limit on that card down to only $500. I still budget like my old envelopes. I have to pay the card every pay because it's easy to get to $500. I'm earning cash back fast because I'm buying food gas pet household restaurant basically everything on that card. I only carry $25 cash. It's working well for me.
Switching up binders and envelopes motivates me. I always get bored with my set up so then I don’t stick with my budget ! Great video and I’m glad you are back though!
One of the biggest motivation things-- for me at least -- is to print off all the transactions on my debit card statement and to highlight different spending in different colors -- this helps me to actually see where my money goes and how/where I'm overspending-- I enjoy cash stuffing to the point that my husband jokingly called it "my hobby" -- part of my motivation is also knowing that I'm keeping my family on track for the future and what we are trying to accomplish
Congratulations on your wedding. And it's a life readjustment. You have rerouted your life even though you were living together... Now you have to refocus by evaluating all the good things around you and all the beauty that comes from it. I am still trying to make it through a year of budgeting myself. So thank you for what you do. 😉
Cash stuffing videos don't really do it for me unless I already like the person making the videos (like you 🥰), it's the budget videos that I love. Like, budget with me, monthly budget, paycheck budget, those kind of videos. Also, debt confession videos. I know it's bad but they make me feel better about my own situation, seeing people who have more debt than me...
Amount is not about more or little. It is all about a need to fulfil. I feel your pain. 🥺🌹🤍🌹One day at a time. We can do it. 😀😘I like putting a definite amount aside monthly to fill the need then the rest for abolutes.
Maybe try doing a few small savings challenges? Like really easy ones you can complete. I find that when I hit more goals it keeps me motivated, just a thought!!
I’ve felt the same way about my budget I’m thinking about doing a restart (put all the money I have in savings) and also get new envelopes. I just think I need a refresher !! You are doing great! 🫶🏻
Good to see you back and just keep being you being you. ❤ it’s been hard to avoid falling back into “spending without a map” (as I like to call it) but I am working hard to not fall back into habits. Keep it up and try not to put pressure on yourself. 😊you’re an inspiration.
I was literally justing thinking about you and was wondering if you were ok. Hadn't seen a video in a bit. Glad you're ok 💚 have fun at your reception!!
I am getting the same feeling Iam not motivated sitting use to watch people cash stuff and get excited but now it’s like competitors but I will not stop cash stuffing
For every category that you have, find something in that category you really want to save for. For example car: new seat covers or car decor that you really want, choose something out of each category to save for, or if you really like coloring in those trackers, make a color in tracker for each category, set a goal amount.
Clip out a photo of what you are saving towards, like an emergency fund or fancy date night dinner. I have a 26 envelope challenge in a Tara box that I am putting towards an Impact dog crate for my pooch. I have his photo inside the box as motivation to keep stuffing. Maybe try digital stuffing vs physical cash stuffing as a change in pace.
Yep...switch something up.... just like a lot of others are saying. Find/create a different form/format to track, add cute little pics to your forms, different style of envelopes...something...it does get monotonous sometimes.
You should have a goal in mine for saving .. that definitely helps. Also, I think the cute colorful savings challenges are very motivating especially when you see it growing. I’m leaving for a cruise next week and it is so motivating to have that vacation in mind, budgeting and allocating the money and seeing the account grow 🎉
Not sure if this has been said. When I’m flagging I revisit my “why”. If I revisit that goal it resets my mojo as well. Hope you can find your groove xx
Im so glad to see your video! 😊 im sorry you are struggling i know how that can be I completely understand. I wonder if doing a game saving challenge might help bring back that motivation 🤔
Why don’t you create a tracker for you to colour in for the weeks of the year to encourage you to stuff as I know you like to colour them in? You were the reason I started my cash stuffing journey! Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Hi.. I have been waiting for your videos since so many days .. I almost checked so many times 😊.. i used to be so bad with my money .. I’m a nurse and I’m from India 🇮🇳 I came across your video last year and I started cashstuffing since January .. I’m slowly growing .. your encourage me .. Thank you so much ❤
Yeeeey. You're back🎉🎉🎉 I am a silent fan for more than a year and this is my first comment ever 'cause I missed you and your uploads🥹 THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK❤❤❤
I also know that you have to be able to do you and sometimes life has a way of getting in the way or making you feel like something has to give -- I enjoy your videos, but I also want what is best for you
I did the Save $2,023 for an envelope instead of a box. Made it much easier. So far so good... I'm doing... I hope LoL. I hate it when I mis track and go ummmmmm what did I do???? LoL 😂
You've reached so many milestones. Sure it's hard to get motivation. Try renaming ur honeymoon box to honeymoon. Even the tracker. Rename it. Since it's something u are looking forward to. Give urself more spending money. Cash staffers don't give themselves enough. I give myself $100wk. It's realistic. ❤
I was to the point of wanting to buy a moterm new cash envelopes buy a box from u but I always said next time when I pay my credit bill I would love buy me something and cash stuff the money back never done it
I watch a few budgeting youtubers and seem like there's a bit of budgeting fatigue going on at the moment. I don't know what to suggest to help, but I still like watching cash stuffing regardless.
But I’m starting to get back in it again I hope since I got COVID I was out for 3 wks so thank God for tax return I think that’s why because I noticed when I was working, I only seriously put in my wallet $20 just for myself and I would literally put the rest into savings challenges or like some in my sinking funds which I have like maybe 10 categories in one booklet in my sinking fun
And like like for example, I have a book for every month but one category one category is all bills like I might have like 10 categories in one pack for all bills, light bill, gas bill, water bill, cable bill, Internet bill, and I literally would probably put like a couple dollars here in there like your baby fun and I would OK with that Monsalve her I would move to the next month which would be another color binder and I would have like categories for that like things for the kitchen things for the bathroom things for the bedroom and I have things for grocery shopping. I have another category for like the laundry and then that month will be over so it was just like not even like five or $10 in one envelope but things got the Covid like explain
Your wedding was a big deal and there will always be a bit of an anti climax when the event you've been planning and looking forward too has passed you are going to feel a bit blah. You just need something else to start planning for! Honeymoon....etc
I would think your motivation should be that if you aren’t doing your cash stuffings you aren’t posting videos which takes away extra money from RU-vid. Then it’s a snowball effect, you start losing subscribers and your channel goes flop. You have to be all in or not at all is how I see it. You need to figure out what it is you want to do and do it. This starting and stopping stuff isn’t doing you any good and quite frankly is a little irritating to some of us trying to watch you. Do that time block stuff people are doing , setting your day/ week up on what you need to do each day and what time frame and follow it. Idk girlfriend but you need to do something next like I said you may start losing people if they don’t have anything to watch why stick around you know what I mean?
