Dang, I won’t lie I was a little sad to see the smiley face ones go! The new ones are so pretty and I love the simplicity but I have to say I loved your previous ones, they showed more of your personality on your channel!

💜The envelopes are so nice. However I noticed everyone who has them always struggles with them. They don’t hold a lot of money, they are too small for the money and they break💜

I think it was one of those things where I didn't start seeing them everywhere until AFTER the purchase 😂 Oh well we're making it work for now lol

@JANAA56357 Жыл бұрын

I ordered the same envelopes and was a little disappointed 🥺 they where not high enough for my euro bills and the placeholders that i have didn’t fit in length and they are pretty thin too that was a real bummer but they look beautiful 🤷🏻‍♀️ Intentional living has matt envelopes to 😊

@budgetmealex Жыл бұрын

I think I’ll be making some envelopes similar to these soon because I loveeee them but they’re too small it seems 🥹🥲😭

@KrnCrftn Жыл бұрын

I think the reason that you are finding your new envelopes trickier is because you use dollars, and if I’m right that store The Aesthetic Budget is a British store so the envelops are probably made for the Pound sterling in mind, and they are a shorter note compared to the dollar note

@budgetmealex Жыл бұрын

Makes so much sense now 🤦🏻‍♀️

@layahlayah5951 Жыл бұрын

I put all of my subscriptions on a credit card and that’s all I use that CC for. Like with your envelope, it’s easier to pay them off all at once when that CC is due and if the CC due date doesn’t work for me, I can always change it. If you have a CC you hardly use maybe that’s an option to declutter the organization of your expenses.

The new envelopes are pretty! That’s why I like zipper envelopes because they stretch and they can hold a lot of bills. Great video 🤗💕✨

@budgetmealex Жыл бұрын

That’s exactly why I did zipper for my credit cards! Lol they’re way more sturdy

@SmoreRacinRV Жыл бұрын

I just saw someone using the big A5 envelopes and putting smaller envelopes inside for different categories under a main one. Like Holidays zipper would hold different holiday smaller envelopes or CAR would hold registration, maintenance etc.. I think I am going to try that for a little while to make it more condensed and not have to have so many envelopes.
