    ***HOW DO I PAY MY BILLS IN CASH??***
    Probably my most asked question on this video, so I figured I'd pin the answer! This video is a few months old, but in the past I would take the money for my bills out of the bank so I could keep it "safe" from myself and my awful habit of swiping my debit card without thinking. Then, a day or two prior to when the bill was due, I'd re-deposit the money into the bank. Definitely not the most practical method, but it worked for me for years! All of my bills are kept in a Capital One 360 account now, and if you want an in-detail video about this, check out my video titled "Changing how I do Cash Envelopes" 😊
    Thanks for watching!

    I have a system almost similar to this but I use one envelope & sticky tabs to divide my cash. Really helps a lot to know your ready for the budget you need well in advance. I’ve already got my budget ready for the new year. Currently saving for a new phone & am a few hundred away from what I need. Goal next year is to just put more money away. I’ve been using this system for 2 years now & has made a more stress free life knowing I’m ready for my budget when it’s due. Thanks for sharing your system.

    I finally read thru all the comments and my question was answered!! I have a suggestion for your envelopes: Maybe you can create some that have pictures of what the envelope is used for. Rent/mortgage = a house, Electric= a light bulb. Water= a faucet, Car pymt=Car, Pet food= dog/cat/other, Phone= A Cell phone or Rotary, Groceries= fruits, veggies, meat, cheese, Clothing= various clothing items etc...just thought it would be a fun idea when you sell your envelopes. Or you could do it by colors: all that apply to house, car, shopping, savings, etc...

    I’m 17 and I’ve had my first part time job for a little over a year. I don’t do this system as I don’t like dealing with physical cash. However, I have two savings accounts along side my main bank account. In a year I’ve managed to add £1,000 to one account and £600 to another. I’m so proud of myself considering I only get minimum wage (£4.35 an hour) and I’m only scheduled one day a week. I’ve worked a lot of over time. The first I’m saving for a deposit on a house and the other is to go towards my maintenance at university next year.

  • @nortiekeeks
    @nortiekeeks 6 років тому +328

    okay, so i'm curious... are you paying your bills in cash?? or putting that money back in the bank? or what?? 🤔🤔 haha, i'm watching and am sooooo confused as i thought the cash envelope system was for the extras, like spending, gas, groceries, hair cuts, etc - but then i'm hearing insurance, cell phone, etc... 🙀🙀

    • @alyssamakesamigurumi
      @alyssamakesamigurumi  6 років тому +358

      Great question! It can be confusing, I know my method is strange and kind of backwards to some. But I am a serial swiper, I'm very bad at using my debit card and not thinking about purchases, and next thing I know I have no money left for my bills that are due! So for me, taking things out in cash, putting them somewhere safe such as in an envelope, is easier for me. That way, if I wanted to spend that money I'd have to consciously go into that envelope and take out the cash, which obviously I'd never do. But yes, I go and put that money back into my account when it is time for the bill to be paid. In the future maybe I'll have two checking accounts set up? One strictly just for bills, no actual debit card attached to it. We'll see! But my method won't make sense or work for everyone.

By the time I received my salary I do -30% then goes to my savings -25% goes to my emergency fund -10% goes to travel and the money left is for food and other payables. And the other money that left is I put it on my extras envelop.
