I just found your videos today, and at first I thought "that's way too much effort to go to the bank that often", and now I'm sitting here making envelopes for literally everything because I think it's genius lmao. I'm going to try this next month and see how it goes! I'm hoping that actually seeing ALL of my cash laid out like this will help me budget way better and be able to be more careful with my spending.
LOL I love it! It becomes almost therapeutic, and definitely very fun! But maybe that's just because I'm a total numbers nerd! I hope you enjoy it and it helps you get a better grip on your spending and your finances in general! Welcome to my channel 😊
Alyssa Nicole I want to get started but am totally confused because most of my bills are paid online or withdrawn automatically. Do you still bother withdrawing and then depositing? Also do you leave money in your bank account for savings?
Same here!!! After watching your method I’m thinking of opening a second bank account to dedicate it to the sinking accounts but make sure it is strictly no card so I don’t spend it. For my auto bills I’ll probably leave it in my main bank account but just leave my cards at home so I don’t spend that as well just carry my grocery and gas cash with me.
I just wanna say how amazing it is that you went from 100 subscribers to over 26k in a little over 2 months. Love these videos!! Gonna start doing this system when I start my new job!! I was introduced to this method when I like 15, but the way you do it is more fun!!
I’ve been watching your videos for an hour... I’m absolutely in awe!! I’m 19 and just starting out in my world of adulting, and am DEFINITELY a bit over whelmed and feel like I’ll NEVER be able to save and pay off my student loans!! But since starting watching your videos literally an hour ago I’ve made rough sketches of budget plans that I’ll be able to start following in a week or two when I start getting paid from my new job!! Your videos are amazing and I totally just subbed!! Looking forward to seeing your progress and new content!!
Your videos popped up at suggested and I think they’re great! this is the first time I’ve seen an envelope system that would actually work for me and I can’t wait to make mine!
I love your videos and budgeting system. It makes everything so simple and I love your cash envelopes. They are so cute. :-) I would like to see the video about your car maintenance binder and budget notebook. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the giveaway! Maybe you can do a video on your top money saving tips? 😊 always like to hear what other people have to say & possibly implement that into my own budgeting. Congrats on 100!
I stumbled upon your videos while looking for budgeting tips and really like you videos! I’d love to see a video using some of your new planner stuff! Thanks for the giveaway 📒💰👍
Awesome, glad you enjoy them! I'm going to upload a video tomorrow featuring the large happy planner and the expansion pack and how I turn it into a budget planner :) keep an eye out for that!
I love this envelope idea! I’m going to be starting my new job soon and this envelope idea just seems so reasonable and easy to understand. I was watching your videos all night long!!!!! I love the budget DIY agenda as well 💕 keep up the great work!
I've spent today binge watching your videos and now have plans for the pretty envelopes I'm ging to make! I've been struggling with budgeting for a while and now I feel like I can take control of it. Thank you!
I find people doing the envelopes so entertaining because before learning about this method I had saved up $5,000 in the bank for my emergency fund. Then I used 5 bank envelop holders a month and all other money from my payroll check goes to principal for my student loans. Three envelopes with the total written $223. Then on those the list is written: $100 Food, $100 Pocket money, $10 gas, $10 Laundry, $3 Car wash. When the next check comes in, any unused money from the envelope goes to principle payment to my student loan, too. My first envelope is top heavy at $600-ish including the categories mentioned. And my last envelope has the same categories plus my student loan payment($223 standard +$161Student loan). $5,000 to go on the student loans. To celebrate paying it off, I'll take the Financial Peace University class to up my game.
I came across your channel last week and I already started my first cash envelope stuffing! I even shared it with my best friend and she starting her budgeting too! Thank you for sharing this videos, it's inspiring and I love how real you are with it! Definitely want to hear/see how you made a binder for Lucy!
I'm so glad you're enjoying!! I made a vehicle maintenance binder video a while back but I just had to make it private because I was dumb and forgot to cover up my address in one place! I will re-film it soon 😊
congrats on the 100! i stumbled across your videos and I really like your budget setup. It is pretty similar to what I am doing. Great content! Thanks for sharing
I just found your videos today and have been binge watching them. I am coming off of 2 months without pay because i work at a school, but i am looking forward to my first paycheck in september so i can do this! I dont have a bank here-so i will just be withdrawing what i need in cash from the atm, but i am so excited to try it
I love your videos and think this is an amazing concept. I was wondering if maybe you can do a short video of how you do your budget plan in a the regular notebook for those of us who don’t yet have the money for a big planner, and also i was wondering how did/do you know how much you want to budget for each envelope each month?
My first car was named Luke. He was awesome. Lol I would love to win! Just starting my cash envelopes as a way to control impulse spending and get out of debt! Love your videos!
So do you take all the money out and then as bills are due you deposit it back into your account?? I’m a visual person so this seems like it would help me SO much!
Good for you... just fyi... sometimes we cannot see what you are writibg... is it what you are putting in at the moment or the total in your envelope?.thank you ..
Just curious bc I’m in school and living at home trying to budget and save to move out soon, but what are doing job wise while your currently in school. I’m certainly not making over $1000 every two weeks :(
I'm new today and trying to do budgeting and cash envelopes, so these would get me started til I can put money aside for the laminator and laminating sheets.
I split up all of my bills into two, so that half of the bill is coming out per paycheck (I get paid twice per month). That way you avoid the whole "my first paycheck gets completely eaten up by bills" thing that I see lots of people struggle with. I divide the hit equally among both of my paychecks!
I'm working on getting an Etsy site up and as soon as it is launched, I will let you all know! My instagram is probably the best place to get a real-time update, but I will mention when it is live in a video too. My instagram is @alyssanicolebudgets
Even tho it’s repetitive I love watching them seeing your progress is inspiring.

Love these videos. And I like how you budget with your whole paycheck. I’m still in the beginning stages of budgeting.
Thank you! A zero-based budget works great for me, hopefully you give it a shot and see if it works for you as well!

Yes I do! I'm 100% a visual person too!
Where can i get these envelopes ? Sooo cute.
Hi ;) quick question how would you budget if you were to get pAid weekly? I need help >,
Good for you... just fyi... sometimes we cannot see what you are writibg... is it what you are putting in at the moment or the total in your envelope?.thank you ..
Thank you for letting me know! I keep a running total of how much is in the envelope 😊
Just curious bc I’m in school and living at home trying to budget and save to move out soon, but what are doing job wise while your currently in school. I’m certainly not making over $1000 every two weeks :(
congrats on 100!!! :D
Thank you so much!
How do you calculate how much to save each month for sinking funds? Please help!
nancy torres I will absolutely make a video on this soon! That is a great question and I think I have some helpful tips for that 😊
Im trying this soon
I'm new today and trying to do budgeting and cash envelopes, so these would get me started til I can put money aside for the laminator and laminating sheets.
How do you know how much cash of each denomination to get?
What kind of movie pass do you have, and is it like 12 movies a month and you pay $10 a month?
I have AMC A-list. It's $20 per month for 12 movies per month.
Congrats!!!
Thank you!
Love your video .. I’m a subscriber♥️
Congratulations new subbie
Wish I was as organized as u
It's a learning process for sure, you can get there! :)
Please explain what is sinking funds i am so confused 😢
Question....so if u have a phone bill do u put the amount in there twice or just once and pay your bill out of it????
I split up all of my bills into two, so that half of the bill is coming out per paycheck (I get paid twice per month). That way you avoid the whole "my first paycheck gets completely eaten up by bills" thing that I see lots of people struggle with. I divide the hit equally among both of my paychecks!
I’d totally do all of the envelopes but my husbands military so our bank doesn’t have like a legit location where we are stationed😭
Hey do you have a store that you sell those envelopes.
I don't currently sell them, but I wouldn't be against doing that if you guys are interested!
How can I purchase these envelopes?
I'm working on getting an Etsy site up and as soon as it is launched, I will let you all know! My instagram is probably the best place to get a real-time update, but I will mention when it is live in a video too. My instagram is @alyssanicolebudgets
cash stuffing ASMR
I wish you’d face all your bills one way 😂
try to blur your license or anything personal.
I had a sticky note over it in the past but I forgot it this time. Thanks for letting me know!
Sell envelopes 😋
