    I'm watching this with my daughter who is 5 years old. She asked how much money you're counting and I said "it should be $2,000". And she says "Mommy we should get $2,000" which I told her that I agree. Then she says "you should ask her for money" 😂

    Wow... I've been trying to convince my fiance to do an envelope system for so long..
    Then we get in a hard spot and have no back up and I'm like "see, if we did the weekly/envelope system..." And he'll agree and say "yea maybe we need to try it".. but then when we're ok again, he thinks we don't need to.
    Maybe I should just DO it and not give the option for an opinion.. just say hey we're doing this and this is how it works..
    So awesome that you did this. Very inspiring

      Sometimes, we must "just DO it" without partnership. Good Luck.
      Also, don't change that "fiance" into "husband" until you are on the same page when it comes to money management. It's more important than you think.

      Same thing I told my fiancé! I am starting . He gives me money .. mostly his whole check for bills so if I do these methods he will be ok

      you should take the initiative. It doesn’t take two people to put money into an envelope. If he isn’t willing to give you a little bit of money every paycheck for BOTH OF YOURS SAVINGS then maybe you should reconsider who you’re choosing to spend your time with. Wish you the best.

      If he is willing to, as long as you handle the money though, once you get in a tough spot and pull out that money to cover everything right away, that would probably be enough to get them onboard from then on.

    Really cool! You should invest it so at the end of the year instead of just having $2000, it can be $2100! So like every month instead of putting$15 in an envelope, out it in a bank account and then transfer to brokerage account (mines on my phone), and invest it! Really fun to get free money that way!

    yess, though im late, i love this, a kind of weird way i save up money (i dont have a job because i am young and my parents said i should stress myself out yet, im 14) everytime my friends get change from lunch or my parents do, i ask for the change, change is annoying so ofc,they hand it over and i have made around 40 dollars in just change. from sept, pretty good for an inconsistent flow and it being in small amounts, i love your vids :)

    Definately accept the watch as a gift (if he can afford it). Accepting kindness and generosity from others is actually very gracious....and will allow him happiness as well because he can do something he knows you'll like. You can always keep the cash you earmarked for the watch as an emergency backup for the future.....whether it's your car or a medical emergency etc.

    I’m new to saving challenges and am loving videos like this. I knew there was a 100 envelope challenge but
    I didn’t realise the rule about amounts at first, I thought you stuffed random amounts - so that’s what I’ve been doing.
    Not sure if I should restart with set amounts?
    Or if it’s better
    The end result to be known or a
    Surprise?
    I hope
    I’m not disappointed at the end - as I am stuffing small amounts so far, like £5/10/20 . My budget wouldn’t allow me to do it the proper way, as I’d never be able to stuff the high amounts each week.
    Well done
    For finishing! Amazing result!!

    Congrats, I am starting one, but I am doing it small. I want to see if I can keep it up. Created on December 1.2021. I am doing $1.00 per day. I am starting with the larges number. That way, by the time the month is done, the denomination gets smaller, and it is easy to keep it up. When the month is over, I will use that money to pay bills, and if I have leftover, I will use it to start the next month.

And just now I am responding on the same quote that I put on here before. As I enter into Feb. I put in another $500.00 and so now I have $8,300.00. Just keep saving.

    I'm not really sure what's the point of the box or the folded cash but possible topics of conversation could be planning your income taxes before the end of the year, maximizing the form 8880 retirement saver's credit, the importance of an emergency fund, getting your 401k plan's employer match to immediately double your money, contributing to an IRA vs a Roth IRA, opening a taxable investment account and how to find less expensive alternatives to every single expense. All of which will serve you far better in the long run.
