    You should do a video on how you grocery shop! How you plan out your meals and how you save money. Stuff like that.
    (Edit)
    After reading through the comments I realize that you live with your parents so I assume that’s why you’re not spending much on groceries. I’m in the same boat!

    Alyssa, Can you do a video where a couple has 2 incomes coming in, but in this case the husband gets paid every week (sometimes overtime) and the wife gets paid 2 times per month. I am curious how to set up a budget this way.

    So excited to get back to doing this so I’m watching your videos again. You made this so much more simple than when I first found out about this method.

    @estnineteen91 Před 6 lety +6

    I love this method! I’m definitely gonna start doing this. I don’t mind going to the bank often also. Now budgeting doesn’t have to be so hard and having decorated envelope will make it easier

      I personally think it's kinda fun! I work from home so I like the social interaction lol 😂 plus the bank is right by my gym! So it's not inconvenient at all. I hope it works out well for you!!

    This is my helpful tip for car registration:
    Every year you re-register your vehicle, the registration cost should go down. Use your previous year’s registration cost to budget for the next year’s registration, as it should be more than enough, and then boom, you have money left over you can either carryover into next year, or transfer it into a different envelope (maybe spending! 😉)

    Question what do you do if your car payment is auto Deducted do you take out half from one paycheck and half for the other and then deposit it?

  • @jennifergomez5632

  • @dollxeve
    @dollxeve Před 6 lety +1

    Love the system, my only question would be how could I have a set amount if I’m a waitress, it’s different every night. I’m not sure how to exactly start since I don’t have an exact number income

    • @altheanoblitt2391
      @altheanoblitt2391 Před 5 lety

      watch her other videos. when budgeting always have a projected amt and actual amt. Since your income varies, always budget low on income and high on expenses.

  • @jamiemckeel
    @jamiemckeel Před 5 lety

    Girl you are my inspiration. I wish I could be more like you and less like me! Hahaha I have such a hard time being organized, and strict with our money. How did you get started? It seems like you are always saving ahead, didn’t that cost you more up front when you decided to start this process?? Did that make sense?

    I’ve been watching your videos non stop! I saw how cute your envelops were and went to the store bought all the supplies and made my own! I decided I’m going to give them as gifts to friends and family members for Christmas! Thanks for the info! Also I’m wondering how you’re able to meet the banks requirement of “swiping” your card at least 10x a month to avoid charges?

    • @alyssamakesamigurumi
      @alyssamakesamigurumi  Před 5 lety +1

      So so awesome! I love it! I don't have a card that requires me to do that, my charges are waived be cause I have a direct deposit coming in.

  • @kelseysouza979

  • @feliciabenavides9211
    @feliciabenavides9211 Před 6 lety +1

    Obsessed with your videos! Binged watched them all!
    How would you do it if you get paid weekly? Would it be the same just smaller amounts going in each week?

    • @marysaleh2042
      @marysaleh2042 Před 6 lety +1

      I’m guessing that you would just have to divide it by four. For example if you’re subscribed to an app that charges you $20 monthly, you can put in $5 each week you get paid for it. If you know you will be spending $500 on your car, divide by 4, and save up from there

  • @homegrownroots9516

    What kind of labels are you writing on on the back of your envelopes to track what’s in them?

  • @katieh5556
    @katieh5556 Před 6 lety

    What do you use your “spending money” on? I defiantly love these videos.. very helpful! Also what do you do from home? Thanks

    • @alyssamakesamigurumi
      @alyssamakesamigurumi  Před 6 lety

      My "spending" money is basically date money for my boyfriend and I! But I also use it to buy whatever I want, whether it be planner stickers or something like that! A lot of the time too if I run out of money in my grocery envelope and I need food, I will use some money from the spending envelope. In my recent Q & A Video I talked all about what I do working from home 😊

  • @elizabethplus2
    @elizabethplus2 Před 6 lety

    My only question is how you make your envelope to sheets. The lined sheets on the actual envelopes. How do you know what to write each month? For example. My car loan is 150 a month. I get two pay checks a month. 75 each paycheck. 4,320 left to pay. If it's empty do I put 0? Or to pay it off quicker, would/could I put maybe an extra 25 in each month? That's where I'm confused with some monthly bills I want to pay off quicker. I hope that makes sense.

    • @alyssamakesamigurumi
      @alyssamakesamigurumi  Před 6 lety +1

      The lined sheets are literally just a piece of lined binder paper that I taped onto the back of the envelope! And if your goal is to pay of your car as soon as possible, I'd get on a strict written budget and anything you have left over at the end of your budget when you're writing it out, you put that extra towards your car!

    • @elizabethplus2
      @elizabethplus2 Před 6 lety

      Alyssa Nicole oh okay. I just see you writing and tracking (each) envelope and was curious your system. Thank you! Your videos truly have helped me.

    • @Mzlite2u
      @Mzlite2u Před 5 lety

      That’s also my question. Savings? Or is the plan to save after all debt is plan. I guess there can be an envelope for that as well but i need help not touching it.

  • @pattygarcia6290
    @pattygarcia6290 Před 6 lety

    Really like your videos! But how do you already have money in some of your envelopes? Don’t you pay for your bills monthly?

    • @alyssamakesamigurumi
      @alyssamakesamigurumi  Před 6 lety +3

      I stuff my envelopes every 2 weeks, and I split all of my bills into two. So for instance, I got paid today, and I'll be putting in the second half of my car payment. So the $176 I put in there today will join the other $176 from my last paycheck 2 weeks ago, and then I will make my car payment on the 15th!

    • @pattygarcia6290
      @pattygarcia6290 Před 6 lety

      Got ya! Thanks for replying back!😊

    • @alyssamakesamigurumi
      @alyssamakesamigurumi  Před 6 lety +1

      Of course! Thank you for the question! If you asked it most likely a few other people are confused too, so I'll make sure to clarify on the upcoming cash envelope stuffing!

    • @alyssamakesamigurumi
      @alyssamakesamigurumi  Před 6 lety +1

      Thank you! It's due in August and I'm pretty sure they send out the paperwork 2 months in advance, so I should be getting the paperwork any day now. But if they don't I'll definitely call! I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only weirdos eagerly awaiting their registration bill!

  • @paulaj.7685
    @paulaj.7685 Před 6 lety +2

    How do you pay any bills that are online? I am struggling with how much cash to take out and how much to keep in my account for my automated bills.

    • @alyssamakesamigurumi
      @alyssamakesamigurumi  Před 6 lety +8

      There's probably a much better way to do this, but what I've been doing has worked for me for years. I take out everything in cash, including my online payments like my car payment and cell phone bill. Here's an example of what I do. My cell phone bill comes out automatically on the 24th, so on any day from like the 20th-23rd, I will go to the bank and deposit that money needed for that bill to come out. If I were to leave that money in my checking account, it would likely disappear. I'm SO bad if I leave money on my debit card! I'm a serial swiper for sure.

      I've been working a modified Dave Ramsey plan for years and years now. I had the $500 starter emergency fund for a long time but now that I'm making more money I'm slowly adding to that to build to the $1000. I'm at $750 right now 😊

    • @ChickensBarbie

      Just a tip, an ideal Emergency Fund should be equal to your 3-6 months monthly expense or income.

      @alyssamakesamigurumi  Před 6 lety +3

      I'm currently living with my parents while working and going to school full time. My parents have always had the rule that if you're going to school, you don't pay rent. While I would LOVE to be living on my own, I would have to take out student loans for school and wouldn't be able to pay off my car if I was. So I'm going to suck it up and live at home for as long as I can until I finish school. My parents might be downsizing in house though so we'll see...I might have to move out anyway!

  • @realnigga4133
