Hey everyone! This is my Cash Envelope Stuffing from my July 6th paycheck! I got paid a little extra this pay period because I worked some overtime, so watch and see how I handled this extra bit of money.
Some answers to common questions you guys have about my Cash Envelopes:
- I made them myself, and there is a video on my channel regarding how to make your own! Link below.
• DIY Cash Envelopes
- I will definitely be making some for you guys available to purchase coming up soon, and I will update you when they are available!
- The smaller envelopes dimensions are 7" x 3.5". and the larger envelopes are 8.5x4.5"

***HOW DO I PAY MY BILLS IN CASH??*** Probably my most asked question on this video, so I figured I'd pin the answer! This video is a few months old, but in the past I would take the money for my bills out of the bank so I could keep it "safe" from myself and my awful habit of swiping my debit card without thinking. Then, a day or two prior to when the bill was due, I'd re-deposit the money into the bank. Definitely not the most practical method, but it worked for me for years! All of my bills are kept in a Capital One 360 account now, and if you want an in-detail video about this, check out my video titled "Changing how I do Cash Envelopes" 😊 Thanks for watching!

Don you end up affecting your taxes or something? It’s like the bank think you’re earning double the same money if you withdraw and deposit the same money.

I basically take out my ENTIRE paycheck every 2 weeks and I get asked if I'm making a big purchase or something, and then I have to explain the cash envelopes thing.

@ell040 6 лет назад

Iulia Cordus usually if you're taking money out of the bank, you can get it in 20's or 100's... getting your money in as few bills as possible. crazy money is asking to split the money you're taking out in different bills, say you want 8 1's and 3 50's or 11 10's, it's crazy because there's a big split up with money... i didn't explain that well but i hope you understand it a bit more

@nortiekeeks 6 лет назад

okay, so i'm curious... are you paying your bills in cash?? or putting that money back in the bank? or what?? 🤔🤔 haha, i'm watching and am sooooo confused as i thought the cash envelope system was for the extras, like spending, gas, groceries, hair cuts, etc - but then i'm hearing insurance, cell phone, etc... 🙀🙀

@alyssamakesamigurumi 6 лет назад

Great question! It can be confusing, I know my method is strange and kind of backwards to some. But I am a serial swiper, I'm very bad at using my debit card and not thinking about purchases, and next thing I know I have no money left for my bills that are due! So for me, taking things out in cash, putting them somewhere safe such as in an envelope, is easier for me. That way, if I wanted to spend that money I'd have to consciously go into that envelope and take out the cash, which obviously I'd never do. But yes, I go and put that money back into my account when it is time for the bill to be paid. In the future maybe I'll have two checking accounts set up? One strictly just for bills, no actual debit card attached to it. We'll see! But my method won't make sense or work for everyone.

I’m living paycheck to pay check and really want to have this system. But as soon as I get my paycheck I have to pay the full bills with all my money. How did you get it so that you could set aside half of the bill each paycheck and then at the end of the month be able to pay from the 2 times you put money in. I hope that made since.

Do you have a % breakdown to know what to ask for at the bank - big monthly basics I understand - do you just scribble paper/pencil and do the math or is it like 3.4% of x .... lol

How can you spend 40usd in groceries.... I spend 50 every week!!

@alyssamakesamigurumi 6 лет назад

I've talked about this before but I'm fortunate enough to be living at home while I'm going to school and working full time, so I can eat the food that is in this house. That's the only way I'm able to make that amount work.

@khaedeenb1873 6 лет назад

Sk Scarlet great question

Buying packaged foods and not utilizing sales raise up the prices probably of your groceries if you do so. Produce is mostly cheap and fruit. The meat is the most expensive but I buy when I see a good sale and freeze the extras

@blackgirlmagic6385 5 лет назад

I spend 30 every other week

Wow this is the best idea I’ve ever seen! I’m definitely going to start implementing this system into my life next year!

If the bills come out of your checking account do you just re-deposit the cash? All of our bills are set up online so should I just do cash envelopes for certain savings and things like gas, grocery, spending?

@ambernicolesaenz 5 лет назад

Courtney Bauman I was thinking the same

@livelovely4681 5 лет назад

I would just do seperate accounts.

@TurtleTymeLol 5 лет назад

That’s how I do it. I get paid weekly and will round out my bills so the first week I pay my phone, I put about 150 in the bank, payments like 137 or something close. And then the rest of the money I separate for gas food and other things. I don’t pull my card out for anything anymore.

@owleyes71 5 лет назад

I have 2 checking accounts, withdrawing and re-depositing cash just seems like way too much effort. I have a main account that gets the direct deposit, and I transfer over however much I need to the other checking account that is called Bills. All the Autopays come out of THAT checking account. Anything that's left in the other checking account is for things like groceries, gas, etc. I also transfer over automatically a certain amount into my savings. Works pretty well.
