We tried to do it digitally but we still need to use cash for now until we are more disciplined.

Makes total sense to go digital but i like having tangible money to see my progress. I don't use cash envelopes for groceries, bills and petrol etc i only have ones for emergencies, car excess, travel, savings and house maintenance. For me I find having money in my card is easier to spend. But yeah definitely something to think about. 👍🏼

Direct deposit is what kills the cash stuffing for me. I work from home and mostly shop online so making it a 30-45 trip every week to the bank just to put some back in when i need it is just going to make it fail very quickly for me So glad people are coming up with digital options!!
@nikkiperdiz7058 3 жыл бұрын
I use cash envelopes but i dont put as much effort into it as mentioned in this video 😅 I only use it for my spending categories (groceries, misc and eating out) But I only make one trip to the bank and I withdrawal it all at once, the whole months worth. But I dont keep it all in my wallet, I put in my wallet as the week ends and it's the next week approaching if you know what I mean - the rest I keep at home

I love to see my money, physically, and see it growing... I also have sinking funds for christmas, birthdays, car etc and I have a goal.. once that goal is met I will either use the money for its purpose or if it's for a bigger goal, for every 1000$ I save towards it I will deposit it into a different account and use a 1K slip in place of that $1000 and just keep saving.. It's just much more satisfying and motivating to be able to have cash and save it (plus I never spend cash unless it's my weekly budgeted categories haha)

If I leave it all in my chequings, or savings, or TFSA.. it will get spent lmao. My emergency fund is in cash and wasnt touched once, even when I was in a pinch

I might look into to evelopes for just a few categories, I def love having high yield savings and money in the account for reoccurring bills and big purchases
@jclyntoledo 5 ай бұрын
Omgosh I agree so much. I need the physical cash to see vs having it in my account where I will see online and want to use. Also just like you said I'm new to this but I only plan to go to the bank once a month. Only doing cash outside of the savings challenges but a few categories like beauty, groceries and maybe eating out that isn't designated to a gift food card.
@jclyntoledo 5 ай бұрын
@@nikkiperdiz7058I agree except I think for me when I save enough and it isn't to pay off debt or some other bill it will go straight to my credit union in an account I can't touch like a certificate/CD or MMS account.

I got one of these! The problem I am having is with impulse control. I always end over spending from one cube then pulling money from a different Qube completely throwing off my budget. I’m hoping cash will help curb the impulse spending, then I can try this again later.

I don’t like cash envelopes for all the reasons you stated. Whenever I have cash I feel like it’s not real money and I spend it on silly stuff. We use credit cards exclusively (paid off in full every month)
@blaqt107 2 ай бұрын
For me it's the opposite. With cash I know it's real and I see in my hand or don't see it anymore when it's gone. I don't want it gone, so I try to spend less. With a card, I swipe believing there is an infinite amount left..

You're so right. Cash just doesn't work in today's age. We used to use mostly cash, but it got progressively harder each year. I have a few coaching clients that still use cash, but most people are finding really unique ways to navigate their spending/budgeting in a digital world. Thanks for bringing some new ideas to the table!

Wow Love this idea! its what i was looking for. Yeah the cash system is simply way to inefficient. The only thing good about it is being able visually quantify how much you have left (similar to analog vs digital watches in estimating time) But im sure you can set up an app to have a visual representation also. There's just simply no advantage to using cash at that point.

I totally agree with you! I think the only people i´d really see it having a short term benefit for (only a few months) is teenagers that feel they need to learn how to control their spending because if they see it in an account they struggle to leave it alone. Qube and Monzo are great apps and cards to use :)

I got robbed 3 different times and never saw that cash again.( stolen when my back was turned). as opposed to a debit card if someone steals from your checking account the bank will give it back to you, and you say it wasn't authorized by you. some one used my account for $98 with out my authorization. I got that money back, from my bank.

HI there! I really interested in this but is this only something that you can do right now? I am wondering if your husband is able to use this method to? I think this would be a great option but my husband does spending as well and I am wondering how I would handle his stuff if there is only one card? Any tips? I saw they have a couple option coming soon, just curious if there is a way you're handling this in the meantime, kinda want to start this ASAP lol
@jusme2888 3 жыл бұрын
U get different options. There's a couples package and even a family package (which includes for teenage kids etc). The packages start at $8 and go upto I think $25 depending on a household's specific needs. I just started with the Basic package to see if I like it. It's limited as far as what u get, but it's free and a great way to test things out.

I would need 30+ buckets for all my spending and sinking funds. Not sure that this digital system could support that need. Plus it takes days for money to move between institutions and updating the cube after money spent. Also not full integrated with other banking institutions. It’s not as smooth as they would like you to believe.
