I started cash stuffing because I want to be able to give my kids the life I didn't have and to have financial freedom where I can buy or build my dream home.
good for you that is amazing! :)
It is clear that you are such an incredible mom! It made me tear up a little bit because I feel the same way đ„č Iâm cheering you on đ€
Iâve never really had a lot of money growing up or had a lot compared to the people I was around. I was careless with my money & really needed to see cash stuffing to put the physical to the mental portion of how I thought. Visually seeing where everything goes and stopping my Target obsession has truly let me see bigger goals rather than just going to work endlessly for someone else. I hope to accomplish generational wealth, going off grid & living off a homestead that is self sustaining & retiring before I turn 50 is what I hope to achieve. But already, getting my friends started and sharing videos like this with them is already blessing so many of the people in my circle. Iâm hopeful we never have to worry about finances, food or future ever again.
Once a week, I pay for someone's meal or coffee in a drive thru. I've been doing this for years! About a month ago, someone in front of me paid for mine! That was the first time I ever had someone pay for my order. I was so emotional about it, after I drove off, I pulled over in the parking lost and started to cry. For years, I've been paying forward not ever expecting anything in return. But when it does return to you, it hits hard! I was extremely grateful!
đ„čđ„čđ„č the world is so much better with you in it!!!
I started cash stuffing to eventually be debt free and be able to live the life where my family can vacation whenever, so I can show my kids the world. I also want to have it so that they donât have to work while in school and can just focus on getting their life together. Iâm also starting my journey with videos to keep me accountable and on pace to do all that. Your page is a huge inspiration for my journey into cash stuffing. Thank you!!! đ
I love how caring you are, that calling about that woman with her nails had me super emotional as well. I also want to get to that point in my life where I can give someone at least $100 just because Iâm able to and because itâll make me feel super warm inside. The reason why I started cash stuffing was because I wanted to save for a house for me and my boyfriend after we get married. I noticed that the way I was spending was not the why I was going to make that dream come true. After watching videos like yours it made me so determined and gave me hope that it will be possible for me. Thank you for your beautiful mindset and your inspiring videos. đâșïž
Thank you so much for this week comment!
And thatâs 100% possible for you đ„° Dave Ramsey always says that finances are 10% head knowledge and 90% behavior! That statement really hit me and I realized I needed to look at the person in the mirror to realize where my problem was đ€Ł I am a chronic spender in recovery đđ»ââïž
I just started cash stuffing at the ended of December 2022. For years I took car of my disabled mother and put myself last. She died in 2019 and then my dad got very sick in 2021 and lost both legs then died of Covid. I did nothing but take care of him. I sold the family property just to get out of a bad mortgage and debt. Now I can and pay off the rest of my debt and save for something. Still have not figured out what my why is. They were my why and now I get to focus on me. That is so foreign to me so I am figuring it out.
Loved hearing about your background. You are so amazing!
Great stuffing as always! đđđ
Awe thank you!! đ€
my why is all for my daughter. The day I found out I was pregnant I knew I needed to change things financially. I want to give her the life I never had, and to prevent the worries I always had. â€
My why for cash stuffing is that, while I don't plan on having children of my own- I want to help my siblings raise their kids comfortably. My nephews and niece haven't started school yet, but I'm hoping to be debt free by then and able to save up to give them a decent college/start of adult life fund while also taking them on fun vacations during their summer breaks. I recently moved 1k miles away from my family and these steps are my efforts to remain a part of the "village" that supports them despite not being able to be there in person for most of the year.
I love this đ„°
My reason for starting as i was embarrassed when my spouse as a family member. My other WHY was to travel the world without the cost of the trip following us home. After 3 years we still cash stuff and do not owe no one brown penny yo any one. We have also been very success at our WHY of traveling, Thanks to Dave Ramsey.
Great video, as usual :) I think the business binder makes more sense for the Taxes envelope
Thank you for your input! Thatâs what I was thinking too, it just makes more sense to me! Iâm not even really sure why I put it in high priority to begin with đ€Ł
Always look forward to your updates!!
Thank you so much đ„°
I feel as if I manifested this video as I was just saying that I haven't seen a video in a while and I was wondering what was up! LOL Can't wait to see what you have to give us today! I feel the same way about this amazing budget community. You are a HUGE part of that. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I will always post my cash stuffing videos at noon on Sundays, you can count on it!!
I did miss last weekâs Thursday video though đ but Iâve already filmed that one, and once Iâm finished editing, it will be scheduled for this Thursday! đ
Aaaand Iâm also in the process of filming a cast stuffing for beginners video that Iâm really excited about too! đ€©
New sub and new cash stuffer. I started stuffing because I decided that I was too old to overdraft my checking account. I wish I wouldâve started sooner. Filming the process has helped me remain accountable.
I love the get to know you in this đ I grew up with horses and rodeoing too!
And our big goal is to become debt free to build as well! We also just recently went to single income less than a year ago and thatâs made me really focus on being smarter with our money!
I started cash stuffing to help me stop spending so much on things I donât need! My husband and I want to be debt free so we can retire early and travel to visit family and new places! Also to renovate our forever home!
I started this cash stuffing mainly because I wanted to know where all my money is going... sometimes I'll look at my checkings account and wonder where all my money is going. I feel like I was spending and spending and not keeping track on what I am buying. On top of that, I felt like I should be budgetting more since I have to pay off school loans and debt. My main goal is to get rid of debt, eventually find a hybrid or remote position at work (have an interview this week for it) so that way I can focus more on youtube/etsy shop. My ultimate goal is to retire from a coorporate job and become self-employed with my boyfriend, soon to be fiance :)
Yay Iâm way too early. I always look forward to your videooosss
Thank you so much!
Iâm a first timer here watching your video. Just became a subscriber :) My whys are also to be able to give, retirement, and to be able to help my kids when they are older if they ever have an emergency.
Awe welcome to the channel!! đ„°
I started cash stuffing because I was a huge compulsive shopper and kept swiping my credit cards, it got to the point where I couldnât pay it off right away and lead to me to here. I realized if I have the cash in my hand I know where my money is going and it helps me stay on track. Now I am trying to save for a house, my boyfriend and I also want some land one day.
You're so amazing â€đ†I started cash stuffing or budgeting to get out of debt before my kids were older and I had to give up things they might want because I didn't have money. Sadly I still use that excuse on many things but try my hardest to do a few fun things while covering our expenses. đđđ
Your an amazing mama!! I love following you on Instagram đ„°
My why is because My husband extensively travels for work. I see him maybe 5 times a year! I have a full time job as well. My why is have our house paid off in a few years so I can decrease work to part time and TRAVEL once a month to be with him where ever he is in the country. We're working so hard to have this happen. Its a hard life not only for me alone in the house, but for him away from his friends and family. We are each others biggest cheerleader but we know somethings gotta give. We're in our 50's, debt free and the house is almost paid off due to cash stuffing and saving challenges. The next goal is just around the corner where we can be together more.
You are truly such an inspiration! Iâm cheering you on, and I wanna know when you get that house paid off, so we can celebrate together! đđŒđ
My "WHY" is because I dream of financial freedom. I wanted to save for our house and so I started to cash stuff in order to do that. I also want to be able to help others and have money to do so. Great video as always.
Thank you so much! Youâre why is seriously so beautiful! I canât wait to see pictures of that beautiful home! đ„°
Iâm the same. When I need help and inspiration to keep budgeting, I watch budget videos to put me back in my place lol
Yes!!! So grateful for this amazing community to lean on đ€ and you are a big part of that too!
I started cash stuffing because I had a bad habit of just swiping my card and not really watching my money, also my boyfriend and I have several new life goals in the next couple years that I want to be able to have the funds for so cash stuffing has definitely allowed me to watch and know what Iâm spending.
I was also in color guard and played the flute!
Omg twinning đŻââïž
Great video â€
Thank you!! đ€
I just love your aesthetics! I want retire early and build generational wealth for my 5 grandkids
Thank you! And wow đ„° such an amazing why!!! Youâre changing your family tree, such an inspiration!
My cash stuffing goal is not only to become debt free, but to also buy a new puppy and build a craftsman style home. I absolutely LOVE dogs, and have ALWAYS wanted a craftsman. â€đ
đMy big why was for my kiddos. I want to give them a little head start into adulthood. I hope to continue to help them while they continue their education. I want them to have more than what I ever had or was givenđ
You are literally changing your family tree! So proud of you! Thereâs so much power in putting in the hard work now, so that later you can say yes to things youâre currently having to say no to!
I love that, 10 acres and building our own home or at least having a more modern/updated home on a few acres is out dream too! I love the country and the way it makes me feel, so calm and quiet. đ Thatâs awesome you guys are celebrating 10 years, my husband and I are celebrating our 10 year in September đ Where did you guys go in your mini moon? Great video!!!
We have the same dream! That is so cool! đ„° letâs keep in touch so we can send each other pictures of our homes in the country đ€©đđŒ
We went up north in Minnesota, almost by the Canadian border! Itâs so quiet and peaceful, and we stayed in a little cabin on a resort, and the glass door in the back of the cabin faced out towards Lake superior! It was a dream! đđ
I am about to start cash stuffing and my why is just because I have alot of anxiety around money and I think that giving every dollar a job will calm my anxiety down. And make me feel more financially stable
This is me đŻ!! Iâm usually pretty âgo with the flowââŠ.. unless it comes to money!
Iâve had times in my life where we have had nothing and times where weâve had great abundance, and the anxiety was still there, no matter what!
Thereâs obvious anxiety around not having enough, but thereâs also anxiety around how to be a good steward of abundance and knowing how to manage it wisely!
You hit the nail on the head for sure đđŒ
My why.. Financial Freedom. Debt Free. I really would like to start my own business so I can stay home with my kids. I never thought I would want to be a SAHM but having kids change you. I still would like to work because two incomes is better than one but to have the flexibility and freedom to do as I please so that I can prioritize my children. Thatâs the goal right now.
I just came off of maternity leave and Iâm suffering with postpartum really bad and my job is like oh well.. youâre out of FMLA, time to return. Itâs really sad.
But yeah thatâs my why! đ
iâm starting out budgeting because iâve noticed that when i have the money i splurge & spend & when i donât at that moment iâm trying to scramble $ for certain things like medical or food or gas. đ so iâm trying to get better and plan/budget ahead
yay another budgeting video. Cant wait till I get paid this week so I can do another cash budgeting. I am new to this cash budgeting, but I learn alot through your videos. Excited for next shop launch. I want to get the A5 binder with the workbook in it. Do you maybe have estimate next shop launch?
Thank you for the sweet comment! Isnât it crazy how addicting cash stuffing is? đ€Ł
I donât have an exact date, but it will be this month! Iâm super excited!
Question on your pen - Do you use the SHARPIE Felt Tip Pens, Fine Point (0.4mm) or is it the SHARPIE S-Gel, Gel Pens, Medium Point (0.7mm)?
Have just started doing cash envelopes into my third week.
Already needing to buy more envelopes.
There is just two people in NZ that really have u-Tube Videos here in NZ so hoping to one day get one up and running as well as you. I came across your video and was like I need to do to try cash envelopes. Just canât get the folders like you have!!!
Thank you for the time you put into your videos. I look forward to each one xox
Thank you so much!! You can do anything you set your mind to đ„°đđŒđ
For taxes, I actually have two envelopes -- one in my high priority and one in my business binder. The reason I separate the two is because I have taxes I need to pay as a freelancer (my main job) and then my business binder is primarily for income streams outside of my main job (Etsy, YT, websites, etc.) I also like to have these separated because at the end of the year, I'll know what amount of taxes I'm paying to my side income streams vs my main income, + keeping track of all my tax breaks.
Also, I'm not sure if this will help you, but you could also subtract your tax amount every paycheck and put that tax money into a high yield savings account. I end up having around 8-10K worth of taxes in that account and just have it grow. Free money! Plus, with all the tax breaks, I usually end up not needing to pay back the full amount I have saved and have around 2-3K of tax money leftover for myself, so essentially, it feels like I'm getting a refund and free money from interest.
I love this!! I donât cash stuff the money we put aside for taxes for our two main self-employed jobs, we keep that in a high-yield savings account as well! Itâs nice to know that Iâm on the right track because the way you explained it is so perfect đ„°đ„°đ„°
@@theaestheticdollar Oh yay!! Also, I was going to ask do you or your husband save up for hockey games? My partner is a huge hockey person too and he wants to go to all these games and wants me to go with him but they seem so expensive!!
Do you have a video that explains what you buy with your categories? And how your cash binder is different from your wallet? How you use those two weekly? We get paid monthly, weâve zero based budgeted for many years, but Iâve gotten lazy with cash system and would like to reboot.
My wedding anniversary is also in October (the 18th) but ours is 20 years. We are taking our two teenage boys back to Japan for a family holiday as it will probably be the last family holiday we have with all of us because they are turning 18 & 19 in December this year. Also the reason I cash stuff is because I want to travel around Australia (which is where I live) in a caravan but have my house paid off so that I have somewhere to come back to. So house paid, caravan bought and paid for and enough money to travel around this beautiful country for at least 12 months.
I love all of this đ
My family started cash stuffing so we could travel more. I love traveling, and want to see all of this great world.
Yesssss!! đđŒ I love that! What are some places that are on your bucket list?
@@theaestheticdollar pretty much anything out of New England which is where I live.
Business binderâŠ.that make sense â€
Thatâs what Iâm thinking too lol! Thank you so much for your input, I really appreciate it!
Great video as always. Thank you for taking time out to tell us about you. I subscribed because you can tell you have a heart of gold. It comes across so clearly in all of your videos. I do have a question...why do you continue to stuff Valentines Day as opposed to putting that money into holidays that are this year, since Valentines Day has already passed and I imagine you are preparing for next year.
Thank you for the sweet comment!! đ€ and thatâs a great question! At the beginning of the year, I set goals for how much cash I want to have for each holiday! Some holidays require more than others, for example, my goal for Thanksgiving is $150 (mostly to cover any sides Iâm making-we donât host) where as my goal for Christmas is $2500 and my goal for Valentineâs Day is $200 đ€ once I hit $200 in my Valentineâs Day envelope, I will stop stuffing it, and it will be ready for next year!
Hopefully that makes sense đ
I think your business binder would make more sense for the tax envelope.đ
My husband drive me nuts when he leaves his change too! đ
Like whyyyyyy đ€Ł
I would definitely put âtaxesâ in buisness binder â€
I have a St. Patrickâs Day baby too! Sheâs going to be 29 this year! đâïž
Omg how cool!!! I will be thinking about her on St. Patrickâs Day! Your daughter and I are about the same age! đ
I would put it in your business binder. Taxes is for your business, you even said it yourself đ. It would make sense to put it there. Itâs not a big priority savings. Itâs a business bill basically that you have to pay at the end on the âyearâ
Thank you for your input, thatâs what I was thinking too! Every time I stuff that I feel like itâs in the wrong binder đ€Ł
@@theaestheticdollar only cuz you have to stuff it. Makes it feel naughty đđđ
Hi why do you put your spending money in your low priority binder and not your wallet? Do you carry both the binder and wallet with you?
Hi!! I never carry my binders with me, just my wallet. I donât like carrying a ton of cash with me so I keep the rest of the monthâs spending cash in our low priority binder and pull it/when I need it âșïž
Makes better sense to move the taxes to your business binder IMHO
I agree!! I think thatâs what Iâm going to do!!
Sorry from New Zealand what is a Co-Pay?
Itâs a charge we always have to pay no matter what when we see a physician, the rest is usually (but not always) covered by insurance đ€
I started to cash the thing because I would overspend my money, and I really wanted to start saving for my future family and to get a house to pay off my credit card debt to just start the life that Iâve always wanted to live once I get out of college and so my goal for next year 2024 is that I will have up to $10,000 saved from $2000 what I have right now

How I got into cash stuffing is I really want my house paid off so I can leave it to my son if something happens to me Iâm legally blind plus I have MS my son has a disability and worry about what will happens to him ware will he live if something happens to me
What a testimony! Your son is so incredibly lucky to have a mom like you! I can see how much you love him, and I know the Lord will bless you with abundance because of your diligence! đ€
I will be 65 in June. Before I die, I hope to have enough money saved for my funeral and have student loan paid in full. My "why" is because I don't want my sons to be stuck with paying for my funeral.
You are clearly such an amazing mom! And still so young! You have plenty of time to reach your dream, I know the Lord will bless you with abundance because of your diligence! đ„°
When it comes to scanning receipts, is it just me or is anyone else concerned about the data collecting being done by doing this..?
My why?? My hubby and I are retired and we have never had any more. đą. So We sold our house to become debt free and from now on until I am called to heaven, I want to have a savings in case I need extensive medical care or if I donât need that, I want ti leave something to my three kids and 3 grandkids. I also want to be able to do tithing to my church and random acts of kindness.
Debbie, it is very clear that you have a heart of gold! Those grandbabies are sure lucky to have the best grandparents! I know God will bless your life with abundance and that will be passed on generation to generation đ€
I sent you a million messages on ig because you are my twin and I love you â€ïž
We live on 6.22 acres and I want to have money for a fence, so we can get more animals!! Horses, sheep, alpacas.... right now I'm incubating ducks, geese, chickens, guineas.... I have 11 cats, 1 goat & chickens ...
So I want to be debt free so I can buy animals and afford to feed them all of them ...AND rescue any babies that need it. Haha
I dream all the animals and my land to look like a botanical garden.....
