In my 100 envelope challenge I actually put more money in it (for example 1-10 I put 10 each, 10-20 I put $15 to 15 and then $20 from 16-20. That way it is exciting how much I actually have because it will be more.

I have an addiction to saving. I need to have an un-budgeted amount of money on hand. I always put some aside in hiding. I have accumulated too much to call it “safe” so my husband put the fear of god into me to get this into the bank where it is safe. I intend to start over with my challenge to save money like this again. I will never stop. Even when I move it to the bank, it has its own place and purpose. My advice to you is to keep yourself in check and keep this saving under control. I know this addiction is not a “bad” addiction to be saving money of all things but where and how you keep it can actually affect you negatively if you are robbed or have a house fire. Just take care of you and yours!❤ Good luck to you and your challenge!

Since I don’t run to the bank very often, I’ve decided to do an electronic version of the 100 envelope challenge. I do this by simply doing an electronic transfer from one of my accounts to my high yield savings account. This keeps me from being temped to dip into the cash.

@Happy2planwithDesiree 6 ай бұрын

For me I don't see them as days. You could do one every day but personally that would not work for my budget. The way that I use this challenge is every week I pick one number to fill for that week. You don't have to go in order but you can if you want. Depending on my budget for that week it can be a high or low number. For instance when I don't have as much money to work with I will pick a lower amount like "15" or "25" whatever I can manage with the budget I have. If I have a little more money to work with then I would pick a number that is higher like "50" or something in the 90s. Like I said it all depends on the budget for the week. I have been doing this challenge for over 7 months and I don't think I am even half way done with it. But you can choose what pace you want to go with when it comes to this challenge. It's going to take me over a year finish but the payout is going to be well worth it.

@Happy2planwithDesiree 3 ай бұрын

If you’re like me, someone who has never saved, who sees money in their account even if it’s in savings and spends it then I would suggest trying this. That was my problem..I never saved until I started taking the money out and “saving” it in this way. Yes, you lose out on interest but I’m willing to sacrifice that because I would have never had that ever if I just put it in my account straight away. And bigger picture for me is this money is going into investments and I need a larger sum of money to do that..this is going to earn me way more than any savings interest will so again good with that too!

@Happy2planwithDesiree 3 ай бұрын

Sometimes the simplest answer is not always the correct answer. If you don’t like this video then just exit out and leave. I’m just trying to share something that a lot of people have found useful to save especially if you’re not a saver. My end goal for this money is investments..I’m good with not earning a little interest because I’m looking at the bigger picture.

Thankfully we all have the ability to make our own choices and I choose to use this method because it’s helped me to become more aware of how I’m spending my money. Before this I would just spend and not save. So I see lots of points on why this is not a waste of time and effort.
