    Dang, I won’t lie I was a little sad to see the smiley face ones go! The new ones are so pretty and I love the simplicity but I have to say I loved your previous ones, they showed more of your personality on your channel!

    The new envelopes are pretty! That’s why I like zipper envelopes because they stretch and they can hold a lot of bills. Great video 🤗💕✨

    • @SmoreRacinRV
      @SmoreRacinRV ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I just saw someone using the big A5 envelopes and putting smaller envelopes inside for different categories under a main one. Like Holidays zipper would hold different holiday smaller envelopes or CAR would hold registration, maintenance etc.. I think I am going to try that for a little while to make it more condensed and not have to have so many envelopes.

  • @vidushka98

    The envelopes might be tight because the seller is based in the UK and the GBP bills are shorter than USD. Love the looks though! 😍

  • @KrnCrftn
    @KrnCrftn ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think the reason that you are finding your new envelopes trickier is because you use dollars, and if I’m right that store The Aesthetic Budget is a British store so the envelops are probably made for the Pound sterling in mind, and they are a shorter note compared to the dollar note

    I put all of my subscriptions on a credit card and that’s all I use that CC for. Like with your envelope, it’s easier to pay them off all at once when that CC is due and if the CC due date doesn’t work for me, I can always change it. If you have a CC you hardly use maybe that’s an option to declutter the organization of your expenses.
