    Don't stress about the larger amounts at the end of the challenge. Do this...as you fill-up the smaller amounts in the beginning, repurpose that money to fill in the higher amounts. Then fill up the smaller amounts again. for example, if you have stuffed $3, $23 and $24 those add up to $50. So repurpose that $50 to stuff the $50 envelope. :o) and rinse and repeat for those larger amounts. it won't fill as daunting and you feel accomplished. Just a thought, hope it helps. :o)

    Love the idea of starting small. I've been feeling overwhelmed by the thought of the larger denomination envelopes and I think that's what's kept me from starting. I've made my box up with the envelopes and you're right they are a lot of work lol Thank you for sharing.

      Am doing two 100 envelope challenges I just have a set amount that I want to put in the envelopes one is 20 the other one 30 and I just keep putting those amounts in you can do it anyway you feel comfortable

  • @girlyghoul

    Ok, I might be a total nerd about this. But when you said your plan to stuff this $1300 into the traditional 100 envelope challenge, I started playing around with the calculator. If you stuff $1300 backwards from 100- you would get to 87 with 78 left over. You could stuff the 78 envelope OR if you started stuffing the rest of the cash from the bottom up, you would evenly get envelopes 1-12 stuffed. Then you would just have all the middle ones from 13-86 left! So however you decide to slice it, it's going to be pretty cool to have that much accomplished right from the get go.
    Good job figuring out how to manage all this money!

    • @budgetbetterlife
      @budgetbetterlife  Před rokem

      Oh I’m so glad you thought of all of this! I kind of like the idea of having 13-86 left that’s pretty good!

  • @Words_and_wallets
    @Words_and_wallets Před rokem +6

    I absolutely love this idea. It makes the normal 100 envelope challenge seem less daunting. ❤

    • @budgetbetterlife
      @budgetbetterlife  Před rokem

      Exactly because I started it once and felt overwhelmed by it. So we’ll see how this works out I’m feeling confident now!

    • @Bubblegumswitch

    I hadn't seen Lisa's new tracker. I've seen a lot of CZcamsrs do their 100 envelope challenges in different ways. Start at the low end then at some point unstuff it and move it to the high end, is the way I will do it when I can start it.

    • @budgetbetterlife
      @budgetbetterlife  Před rokem

      That’s actually a really good idea I hadn’t thought of that!

    • @margaretsilva196
      @margaretsilva196 Před rokem

      I will use method. Was wanting to do this and have my challenge done when I retire in three years but couldn't be able to do the bigger envelopes due to 401k and six month emergency challenge. No other debt. Thanks!

  • @NotBrokeForLong
    @NotBrokeForLong Před 11 měsíci

    I love this idea. I might have to steal it but with just some slightly larger challenges than the minis

    • @budgetbetterlife
      @budgetbetterlife  Před 11 měsíci

      That is a great idea to just adjust it for your budget! That way you get the sense of accomplishment just a little sooner and can roll it into a bigger challenge!

    I use 30 white envelopes marked with three dollar amounts on each envelope. $1, $31, $61. Etc. The envelopes are shuffled and I blindly pick. I only stuff with the first $ amount until all are stuffed. Then I reshuffle and blind pick the second dollar amount. I keep track of what was picked by using a dot paper from my printer. I make squares and write the numbers inside the boxes and cross them off. I also printed a music sheet and made quarter notes with hearts. Every $100 (after unstuffing) will be colored in. My goal is to but a newer car and pay some of my son's student loan. I am debt free and live on social security. Anyone can do this.

  • @iloveallahandrasulullah1410
    @iloveallahandrasulullah1410 Před 9 měsíci

    That's a fun idea but it's more work bcuz to get thru the big numbers you can just take the amounts of the smaller envelopes and add them up to stuff the bigger envelopes and you don't have to go thru all that red tape

  • @skythomas7008
    @skythomas7008 Před rokem +1

    Thank you very much! I went to her page and purchased a bunch of items. I'm on a very fixed income so doing the 100 envelope seemed out of my league. But doing it in four 25's I can handle nicely. I also found some other things on her page that I loved and purchased thanks so much. I'm going to like this vido and subscribe thanks again.

    I don’t know how I happened to see your video I was mentioning how to do the hundred dollar savings Challenge with a twist to a friend of mine and your video came up, I was explaining how (Lisa Grateful for me) savings was doing challenge.. because I am also doing it I had restarted it back in April… exactly like you I am doing 2 envelope challenge the original, and the Lisa grateful me’s challenge… when I finish Liza Grateful for me challenge I will add it to my original 100 envelope challenge…

      @ulandagovender9446 Před 8 měsíci

      What is the time frame for 100 envelope challenge how often should it be done I want to start it but I will pick an envelope and add that amount to my savings account so I end up with interest aswell

    • @budgetbetterlife
      @budgetbetterlife  Před 8 měsíci

      @@ulandagovender9446 you can do it however fast or slow you would like! I think originally it was meant to be one a day so you would complete it in 100 days. But you could break it up and do it weekly instead of maybe 2 a week and complete it in about a year. It’s really up to you and your budget how you want to tackle it! Good luck 👍🍀😊

Definitely check around to see how other people started their budget everyone does things a little different and it’s good to take parts you like from each person that’s kind of what I did!
