MY INCOME HAS CHANGED...| CASH ENVELOPE STUFFING | august paycheck 3 | 

Something that I’ve done since my income varies now. I pay my bills/expenses with my first check in full instead of splitting it like I use too and then with the second I do my sinking funds like the stuff I don’t need immediately if that makes sense. That way I’m not stressed if I get destaffed or something later in the month. You got this girl! I hope this doesn’t stress you out too much. ❤️

I just want to tell you thank you. Its because of you that we were able to move out and be on our own, we were terrible at saving money so its because of you that we are where we are. Thank you ❤

There’s something therapeutic about watching someone organize cash around. I used to watch my mom do this and she would tell me “when you’re the one doing it you’ll wish you didn’t have to”

You cant event tell they are press ons!

LOVE the way you talked us through how you're going to manage this shift. Also LOVE the nail shape of those press ons!

So thankful you sold your car. I bet that is such a burden off your back since your income is changing a little bit. So proud of you!

Honestly until you mentioned they were press on I thought they were done at the salon, and was going to comment that I loved the new shape on you!

I hope your job gives you more hours or that you find something else, but I’m so glad it happened after you became debt free!!

Try the KISS Impress nails! Theyre my fave. They come in so many styles and you can get them at Target, Walmart and other drug stores. They stay on for about a week but I’m pretty rough with my nails. I’ve had them stay on for 2 1/2 weeks before. Saves so much $$. I was spending $30-40 every 2 weeks for my nails now I spend $7 every 2 weeks!

That shape of nail really suits you, far more x love from London

Girl you gotta save where you can, I buy press one & paint them too! Works just the same! & the more you do it the better you get at it and the better it looks 💜

So sorry to hear about the stress surrounding your income. As someone with an income source that very much varies based on the time of year, I totally get that stress. To balance that though, I've basically made my budget 100% Sinking Funds and save up for each of my expenses from each paycheck. (For example, savings always has a set amount going towards it,, and Pandora gets $5 from every paycheck when I am getting a paycheck even though it gets charged once a month so I always have funds available even when I don't get a paycheck.)

Ahhh job insecurity is always the worse. God bless them side hustles 💯💯💯

Great video! Sorry to hear about less hours with your job, I hope it gets better for you! ❤️

I’m so sorry about your job decrease! Thank Gd you’re doing this or it’d be a mess!!! Thinking of you and hope things change for the greater soon!

Let us know how you like the press on nails!! Seems like such a cheap alternative. They’re cute!

How are you doing with school? Is there still a chance you’ll be able to get it all complete in one term? Keeping you in my prayers, job and income changes are so stressful!

I make Cash Envelopes too and sell them on Etsy!! Thank you for the idea inspiration! It's so relaxing to make them

do you make money from youtube? is there a reason it isn’t included. love your channel been watching you for a while now!

I love your channel. You’re so realistic compared to these other youtubers doing cash envelope stuffing. You’re categories are realistic and I appreciate you keeping it real about your job issues.

I hope everything works out for you! That’s sucks not being sure if you’re getting a next paycheck or not.

Makes me glad I have a salary so guaranteed to be paid a certain amount. Makes budgeting so much easier

Oh my gosh your nails look amazing, they look professional! 😍 yay for an envelope stuffing video!!

At least I'm glad you don't have a car payment any more, even with a pay cut, you can manage just a little easier

I love, love, love these videos!!! ❤️ Thank you for taking the time out of your day and schedule to make them for us!! 🙏🏼

I've been falling from my budget because I was unemployed shortly and now I'm going to get back on track 😁😁

I’ve been doing this budget system for a year now thanks to you! One thing I had to do was stop doing sinking funds in $1 amounts because my envelopes started busting with ones hahaha. Even if I only need to take $1-$4 per check to meet my goal the minimum I will do is $5 so that I don’t keep breaking my envelopes haha. Anyway thanks for making these videos you’ve helped so many of us!

I’m so glad I found your videos! I get paid weekly and I don’t make that much, but I was able to split my bills and take out a little each week and I’m making it work. So not completely your way, but I’m glad you have given me good info to work off of! 😊 love your videos 🥰

I love that you let us know how your situation is and your "press-on" nails, girl they are so cute, I prefer the coffin nail style, you should try to get those in press-on, they would be so cute with your hand type. Love you and your videos!

What do you do with the bills you have to pay with your debit card? I want to do the cash envelopes but most bills I pay online and don’t want to have to keep going to the bank.

Alyssa - love your videos! My sister and I have chosen to budget using the envelope system. I noticed the wallet that you provided a link for in your description isn't available on Amazon right now. What's the name of the Kate Spade wallet in this video? Thanks! 🥰

I’ve been waiting for this!! ❤️😩 I’m excited!!

It's so great that you were able to pay off debt before this happened and that you have peace of mind! Wishing you the best of luck with your job situation. Hopefully things improve soon!

I love your videos💕 you have taught me so much and yes this method brings me peace and happiness knowing everything is covered

hello!!! i’m a huge fan, and you’re a great teacher!!!! Is there a chance you could make a video on what binder/notebook or using in this and how you make your binder or notebook work for you when you do this style of budgeting, i’d love to see it in more detail!!!!!! please and thank you! keep killin it!!

OMG hi we missed you Queen 😩💕💕💕💕💕

How did u know what u put in each envelope

This was really helpful, time for me to do this so I can be more organize for my spendings/savings!

You should go live on instagram once in awhile for a Q & A!!!

I love to watch your envelope videos 😣💗 lots of love from Costa Rica 🇨🇷💕

When are the cash envelopes going on sale? 😬😬

It's weird to live in a world where we have to apologize for how our nails look =0). I'm sorry you have the irregular income issue & I'm glad you were already preparing for it mentally. I hope your work hours pick up soon. Great idea to run the envelope thru the laminator again - they look great! Thank you for sharing!

As far as the envelopes in your wallet that you spend, how to you coral the change?

Just started my cash envelope stuffing journey last month. It has really been helpful. The only stressors I find is when I go shopping! 😭 It would be awesome to see a 'shopping with me' video as I went to the store and used 4 different envelopes. So I did 4 different transactions, but how do you check out when you have to go to the store for multiple different things? I.e. dog food, toiletries, groceries, clothing

How do you get the punch holes in your envelopes to be even. I have tried and they don't come out as good as yours.

I have been in a finical rut as well and it happens

Where can I get envelopes like yours?

All of my bills are paid online. How does this work? Do you take the money out of the envelope, deposit into the bank account and then pay? That seems like a lot of going to the bank to me. Love your videos!!

I wish I could do cash for gas but Costco gas is cheaper than the other gas stations but they don’t take cash!!! I suppose I can stop at $X amount at the pump but I feel like a full tank of gas goes by slower, if it’s not a full tank, the gas goes out by like 2-3 days lol. I need a Prius

Wait! Can we get a nail tutorial lol

Where did you get your paycheck book from ??

if you like nice nails you should try a polygel kit!

What is this wallet called? It’s so cute!!!!

So with envelope stuffing, do you cash all of every paycheck? If so, what goes into your bank accounts to be proof of income in the future if needed for like a car purchase, getting approved to rent a home. Things like that. I have always been told that without your money in the bank you don’t have a “proof of income”. So living as a waitress I would deposit money regularly just to have that to fall back on when I will need to prove it.

My favorite video :)

I’m going to start doing this.

Hi! I’m not sure if you know, but Costco pharmacy has good deals on pet meds! Much better than the overpriced vets office.

Your nails look 🔥👌🏼

I hope things turn more positive at your job. Good timing on your part by selling your car! Would you consider doing another side hustle to supplement your income, like Uber Eats, or Grubhub, etc?

Do you still use your BuJo?

Girl yes, same! My hours dropped to 25

Does anyone know where else to get this wallet Amazon does not have it available and I really want one?

Do you have an account separate for RU-vid income and sponsorships?

Great video.

Love your 💅🏼

Whyd tou get rid of your honda? Thought it was almost paid off

Fuck the haters ✋🏻 WHEN ARE THE CASH ENVELOPES BEING SOLD lol I’m hella excited man 😂💕

Are you not making any money from RU-vid?

First !

I like your video ht s good to watching your RU-vid video ht s good to watching your RU-vid video ht s good to watching your video from Nikki Thomson xxx 💋💖❤️💝💞💓💗😍🥰😘💕🌸🌸

You can tell a difference when adults do these vs kids. Your priorities are off kido. Your putting to much aside for "gifts". Why would you put aside almost $200 for your boyfriend's birthday. Is he really that type of guy who wants stuff for his birthday? So much so you feel the need to put away $200+ for him. $50 max should do it that's the difference between a kid and a man. Not being harsh but just giving insight. You need to be putting that money away for a emergency since you are not going out and finding a new job and allowing this one to push you around. Your sitting over here worried about not getting paid but are paying for nails, Spotify, putting a rediculous amount away for gifts ect. Your kinda doing this wrong your still in the phase or doing what feels good instead of thinking about the future. However, I'm glad you are contributing to savings that's a start. Again not being mean IV been there done that. I watch Dave Ramsey on a daily and these videos pop up and just have to watch them. Great video tho. 👌🏻
