    I am your 100 envelope challenge bestie! Mine is a $10k challenge and it's for my family to move into a bigger and better home. We got this!

    Like you, twice I failed. This time I will not put a time limit on completion. Also, I will start with the large numbers first!! I also hated folding the money. Here’s to starting again in 2025! Good luck to us!!💜👍🏾

    My mom and I did this challenge, and we took a large number from the end and added a small number each week. You got this, stay encouraged.

    I read this on another UA-cam comment and I think it's probably the easiest way to complete the challenge. If you take $100 and you take one, you can complete both the first and the last of the series. Then the next time that you're able to pay you take 99 and two. And then you just continue that and with $101 increments and you should be able to complete it much easier! Or you could be like me and just do $20 because just trying to collect as much money as I can to pay off debt.

    I just came across your video and wanted to drop my own way of doing this challenge. I have been stuffing pockets 1-18, and I empty them out to stuff as many pockets in the back as I can and whatever I have leftover, I refill the front pockets with the remaining money from 1-whatever, and continue with that until the next time I hit pocket 18. It has been working better for me because I have anxiety, among other things, but my anxiety gets the best of me, when I know I’m about to get near the big numbers. I have already filled 3 pockets in the back and am very happy with my accomplishments so far.

    I've seen others complete the first 50 envelopes and then transfer that money to the larger numbered envelopes and start the 1-50 envelopes again. Good luck!

    Don’t give up!!
    My strategy is to do mini/monthly challenges and put half into a higher amount challenge and put the other half into the 100 challenge… this works for me.

    Your red binder is gorgeous! ❤ I know that it is fun to stuff a lot of binders. But it helps to start in the back with 100. Do the hard ones first 😊

    Hi Diva! You got this 😊The pink envelopes are so cute 🥰 Visual definitely helps with the momentum .
    The first time I did the 100 envelope I didn’t finish it either. My strategy was to do high and low numbers before the busy spending season approaches 😊
    I’m looking forward to cheering you on along the way. Great video ❤

    You can do it! Third time is the charm. I failed twice previously. I started July 2024 & expecting to finish January 2025. I got 5 & a half pages left I’m at 74 currently. 6month mark; I doubled some & ofc I put higher than the amount towards the 50’s and up.

    You could turn the bills around to have them all facing the same way. Then you could straighten out the bills so they are not so crinkled. That might help you feel a little more excited to save. It always helps me. Makes me want more.

    You can do it, I set a side $100 each payday and use one high and one low...I also don't use $1...1-10 is $10, 11-20 is $20... this way the pockets don't get too full and break.. if you feel you are struggling after a while you can remove the lower ones and place the money in a higher one...have fun with it...mine is for a new camera!

    You look like you have alot of large challenges on the go. Give yourself the best break n dont set finish dates and work on just 2 large challenges. Work on lots of small qwik wins. The confidence will soar n youll want to save more so youll tweak your budget accordingly. Put you qwik wins to the 100 vope challenge..... You do got this. Also too many large challenges we tend to fail because we get disheartened when we start hitting 50+ double figures. If you start them from the beginning n get them over n done with you relax more into the rest of the saving journey. Take it from a mental health counsellor😊

    this will be my first time doing the 100 envelope challenge.....(and first time doing cash stuffing at all), but because i have limited money to save, i plan on using a couple of mini challenges ($50 and under) to stuff the 100 envelope challenge.....and then i have a couple other mini challenges for other things and also my 1k emergency challenge that i'm just going to stuff $10 bills till it's done ,and nothing has a time limit, just gonna keep going till its done.....this is also because i'm going to do the snowball method to pay off my debt before i can really start saving larger amounts....maybe doing some mini challenges to fill your larger amounts would work for you too.....happy stuffing :)

    I tried to do it aswell, but did not finish, im thinking of 'm trying to do $100, so for 99+1=%100, 98+2=$100 and so on, that way I will do small and big at the same time, with NO completion date, It looks easy, but it's not. Good luck, I'm sure you will finish it this year ❤
