    When you're figuring out how many 100s, 50s, etc that you need from the bank, it might be easier to use tally marks instead. For example, you can just focus on your car payment on its own and quickly tally off 1 hundred dollar bill, 1 fifty, 1 twenty, 1 five, and 3 ones. Then, you'd move on to the next envelope amount and tally up that one on its own. That way there's no need for all that subtracting down the line.

      Thought that was what she was going to do until she started subtracting. Glad it worked out in the end, but tallies are definitely easier

    It's so sweet that you're willing to help people with they're finances and budgeting. It can be very confusing but it's a very important skill to know and the fact that you're helping people how may have no experience is such a sweet thing. 😊

  • @MollyAdames
    @MollyAdames Před 6 lety +37

    Can you do a mock budget for a single person who makes around $700 a paycheck? Or a video explaining how you determine the amount of money you put in your sinking funds and what you do with the left over money after you’ve budgeted

    I have been LOVING your videos. I am a junior in college who is trying to budget for the first time, and your videos have been super helpful. I would love to see a groceries video and the date idea video! I've been wondering what you do for work, because you said you work at home with people's private information. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, and your job seems interesting.

    I thought I was the only one with long budget videos. I was like worried that people were spending so much time watching me budget and do my cash envelopes. But honestly it takes so much time that there is no way around it 🤑

    • @alyssamakesamigurumi
      @alyssamakesamigurumi  Před 6 lety +6

    I love helping people budget!
    It amazes me how many people dont write the figures down to see how much they actually have. Its an eye opener. I have been spreadsheet budgeting for 10years and got rid of some crappy debt. But im trialling cash envelopes now to help me save some money long term and give my self a set allowance for "fun money". I cant help but count my money all the time, i get excited to see it grow!!

  • @kapasion

    GIRL! I feel you with the allergies! Sometimes I think it’s worst than just being sick or having a sore throat! The sneezing just drains you!
    I have really bad allergies & I take Flonase along with any daytime allergy pill. I swear on Flonase, it changed my life! Idk if its available for you in Cali but it’s a nasal spray in a green container! Hope this helps!

    I subscribed after watching one video. I am hooked now. I love hearing about budgeting and finding new ways to handle money. And I agree with the other subscriber, something about watching you organizing your money is pleasant. It’s like watching the cooking channel or soap opera. Lol. Now do you have automatic payments set up for your expenses to make sure you have the money in your account?

    Just watched your August 4, 2018 upload. You could have a misc. envelope so when you don’t use all the money for that week you could put money in misc. That way you don’t raid any of the other envelopes & not spend it. Just a thought.

Ive never been paid once a month before so I am trying to get organized and ready! I also extreme coupon, so $40 for groceries is realistic for us! Its just me, my hubby and 4 pets. lol We spend $50 to $75 a week in all groceries, pet food and household essentials. Before couponing, I would spend $200 plus a week!!!!

I since then have been binge watching any and all the cash stuffing videos I could find, but I dont find them as nearly as good as yours!! I was just thinking a few days ago about when you last uploaded a cash stuffing video and how long its been and when you would post the next one bc I’m addicted lol!!

    Loved all this information!!!! I thought of a easier for you to add up your cash you get from the bank... start it the same way by writing 100...50...20...etc. but instead of going down and see how many 100$ bills you need, y’all mark on the sticky note what each expense needs... for example, you would start at the top with your car payment, put 1 tally on 100, put 1 tally on 50$... and so on. this might make it easier to keep track of what you’ve already counted!

    So do you have a saving account or is that your sinking funds? So when you get your check direct deposited to the bank, you go get the money and then sort it out that way so you don't have any money in your checking\savings? I love this process and I'm already starting to track my purchases and waiting for my first check!

    I see you have a lot of apps lol. Do you have any favorite “money” “budgeting” etc apps that you could make a video on or like “ride or die” apps... lol idk just thought it would be a fun video.

      priscilla magallon that would be a fun video! Unfortunately none of my apps other than the “calculator” app are apps that I use for budgeting!

    I LOVE the frugal date video idea! My boyfriend and I are trying to save money, but we barely go out anymore because we don’t have the money to spend on dates!!
