For ease for your monthly bills try adding up the total you need to keep aside and transfer that into a separate account and have your bills paid from that account. No fear of taking it for anything else as you won’t be using it as your working account. 💕
I love the patterns too. For your "Mac Book" envelope and your "Spending" envelope, I noticed the designs are very similar. Where did you purchase this floral" design? I love this pattern. I looked for it at Michael's and Hobby Lobby, but didn't see it. I'm working on a project, and would love to know where you found this pattern.
I don’t think you should have to apologize for how you decide to pay off your debt. You’re not married, you live at home, and have no children. This is already smarter than what most people do!
I used to use this method years ago. It gave me peace of mind knowing where I stood financially. Now I use a series of savings accounts at my savings and loan bank.Keep at it and you will be a millionaire like me
I love envelope stuffing videos!!! Thank you for keeping the money the right way... now... you have got to clean up those envelopes!!! I couldn’t help but cringe with the bills going every which a way. I was taught that bills go the same direction and are always smallest to largest. It’s now ingrained. I got my laptop the same way you just got yours. 0% is amazing!!! I don’t blame you at all. Have a good trip to Disney.
You inspire me to use cash, you make it look fun! I just started...in one day I can tell the different, I went to 🎯 today and instead of buying the more expensive ⌚️, I bought the lesser one. I really felt the stress of using cash instead of a 💳. Yay!
Just found your channel 😭💖 you don’t understand how much you’ve helped me . I never seen an ACTUAL breakdown of doing bills this way with a budget like mine !! Being in college and budgeting is stressful thank you so much.!!!!
You have definitely inspired me to start budgeting much more efficiently as you do. I just found out my 3rd child is coming then I found your channel. God send thank you. Just subscribed and currently binge watching🤗🤗🤗🤗
If she lives in the LA area minimum wage is pretty good for someone who doesn’t pay rent. She also said that she has been doing over time. She doesn’t have enough TH-cam views to be making 2k a month.
I have a full time job, this is not youtube income. I make more than minimum wage but minimum wage in California is pretty high these days. I've been able to negotiate for raises every year that my experience in the workforce increases. You have to be providing value to the company you work for, and then if you're working for a good company they will compensate you well for doing so.
Look into legal assistant jobs. I work for a court reporting company as an administrative assistant and make a little bit more than that. But like she said, work your ass off and become a pivotal part of your company and you can negotiate raises.
Thanks to my frugal spending I've been able to keep a good amount of money in my account this past year. I've always been cheap, almost to a fault, but growing up I either had the money myself or I missed out, now I just save for rainy days, and boy is it raining right now. I've graduated uni this year, paid off my loans, but am still hopelessly unemployed. I've got bills to pay but thankfully still live with my mom so the big ones are not my responsibility yet. I love watching this because counting my money and knowing where it goes and where I want it to go gives me a relief I can't even explain. I hope something comes through on the job end soon though because it's increasingly upsetting to just be going through savings I'd hoped would go towards enjoying life. I will say though, I created a digital version of this several months back and one thing that's helped a lot is also recording what you've spent, you avoid a lot of confusion with that lol
I love that she changed her bills facing the same way after promising a subscriber that had a pet peeve about her bills not being organized in her 1st video. Superb.
I liked this 2 videos saw for first time, bc is so close to my real budget! and I always thought since my budget is so small I could not budget!... really good ideas to take for me... also your kind of spendings are similar to mine except for the boyfriend plans lol but I will have no problem to use that money to hang by myself and go to the movies or whatever :) I'd like to have a friend like you close in my city so we could do this together and she would supervise my discipline :P keep doing what u do 👏🏼 I like realistic videos and real people hehe :) (And I loved the envelopes and the agenda also and the spotify and photoshop suscriptions since I had denied myself of those thinking I don't have a budget for it, but now I see I can) Greetings from Colombia South America :)
I really like the idea of splitting bills across 2 pay periods. I am confused about taking cash out though I would go nuts having to run back and forth to the bank.
You have inspired me to get more involved with our bills. My husband pays everything and I don't know what's going on. So I just spend spend spend. I need to stop so I have asked him about trying your envelope system. He did yes he would. We just need to figure out how to get started. Hopefully this weekend. I have been working 12 hour days all week. Also do the thrift haul video. Thanks
Amy Hunter I was in the same position up until recently. My solution so far has been to organize bills a bit to at least make sure I know what’s going out and coming in to some extent.. and I know I need to be better with my spending, so we put x amount into a “spending money” account for me and I do the major spending for the household, groceries, gas, etc. the rest of the bills come out of a separate account and the rest goes into savings. So I’m managing “sinking funds” while my husband is managing bills. Not a bad idea for us, at least. I went from spending about $1500 a month on literally nothing (bought a house, had to fill it up 😆 ) to around $300, and I don’t feel like I’m missing out. Looking at a bank statement for me was one thing, but I physically wrote out every single dollar I spent and it was really eye opening to me on how much we don’t need. Good luck! 💕 and remember it’s a process :)
What if you go to target or somewhere like that and buy groceries and toiletries? Where do you deduct money from? Both categories and just do two different transactions? Or. Would you use your spending money?
These videos inspired me! I bought a laminator and made my own envelopes! Can’t wait for payday to start this process for myself! It’s going to help my fiancé and I save for our wedding next year!!!
I made mine out of printer paper and washi tape. They have held up fine for about 5 months now. And I had everything on hand and they are super cheap to replace if I need to!!! I just wanted them to be functional.
Hey, I know this is late, but I have done this, and I wrote down all the amounts I need for each envelope and break them up into bills. (I start with 20s and work down). I then write all the denominations and put tallies next to them! I add it up and make sure it equals out then go to bank. I hope this helps.
Your video is my fav right now! I watch it everyday. I like the organization and the content and in a weird way motivates me. I am in my first week of doing this to get all my c.c. paid off and my car as well and am going to do this for at least 6 months. Thank you! Good luck with your future endeavors!
You can use it to see where you could be spending more than you should and where you could cut or make improvements in spending. JUST THROWING AN IDEA. Like your videos a lot. I am still figuring out how to budget on a cash basis. Thank you for these videos they are super helpful.
I’m a Senior in High School, I’ve had a job since end of sophomore year and I just recently watched your previous videos about stuffing your cash envelopes, this has definitely helped me save and manage my money. I love the concept of budgeting money the way you do!!✉️ Also love your planner and envelopes❣️❣️
hello alyssa thank you so much for this video..I found you while looking at other envelope systems on you tube..I love the way you explain in this video part 1 and 2. Looking forward to doing this system..have a great day.
This is so awesome!! Ironically, I work in Finance but can’t seem to budget the way I want. This looks like an awesome start! Are your envelopes that you are selling out yet?
I’d just like you to know.. we added an envelope for Car Maintenance after we saw your video & it was the best decision ever😆😆 sounds so dumb but it’s paid for our inspections, registrations & new brakes!
I want to start doing this and plan on starting the first paycheck of 2020. How do you reccomend I start if I'm currently behind on some Bill's? I literally feel like I'm always playing catch up. I want to be more financially cautious this year so I'm not in this same boat. I also need to start saving for my wedding in 2021. 😊💕
New subscriber here! Ran across your video this morning and since then I’ve already started working on my budget! Can’t wait for paid day to start stuffing some envelopes!
New subbie, I love your method. I'll be implementing it for myself come my next pay period. Christmas is looking a little scarce as I'll be paying off my credit cards in full, but I will still do my best to buy something for my mom, sis, boyfriend. Thanks so much for sharing this with me and everyone else on youtube!!
I should start a channel about me doing my budget with rent. So much of our money goes to rent on its own it’s insane. But I love watching your videos.
I love your idea. I'll probably try this as well. There's also a superstitious belief which i practiced😊😊😊 when i put the money on my wallet/piggy bank/money organizer i tend to make sure that the (picture on the) money is heads down🙃 coz they say that the money will continously goes to your wallet & if its heads up😊, it continously goes out from your wallet😁😁😁
I find this system so helpful for money that is spent day to day, like groceries for example. For monthly payments I actually have a different bank account where my salary is transferred to and where the payments are made from. I never even touch it. I actually even forgot the code for my debit card on that one, haha. Works really well for people who get the same salary every month :)
What kind of work from home do you do? Love this idea! I’m totally going to do this kind of budgeting when I get back to work from having my daughter!!!
New to these videos so forgive me if this has been asked before. But do you have a general savings account? You pay for lots but do you save for savings sake? Thank you 😊
How about switching out the smaller denomination notes from the big ticket saving envelopes with the 100s and 50s from spending money - to cut down the bulkiness?
I totally get taking the money out so you dont accidentally spend it! I have one deposit that goes into my account every month that is in addition to my income and I called all of my bill companies and asked them to take their money out the same day! That way that deposit goes in and all my bills come out (other than mortgage) the same day. I also put my mortgage on accelerated bi weekly payments so I get paid on thursday and friday the mortgage comes out before the weekend when we start organizing/divying up the money. It took my a really long time to learn this lesson honestly and I always felt like i was moving money around everywhere to make it work when now its almost like i dont even think about how im going to pay the bill or omg when is this bill due again!? Its already dealt with.
Thanks for making the bills face the same way this time! Loving that planner, it’s looking good with the Martha Stewart cover. Have you been loving the plannerkate stickers?
You should do a video on what your boyfriend/parents think about your budgeting. Or a Q & A. I’d love to know if your parents do the same or your boyfriend does the same. Or even like set up your own kit for beginners.
These videos give me hope that I can do better when I get a job. These videos make me feel better about my student loans that are just getting sky high. Pray for me dude😭
Once you start selling these paychecks, you'll be putting more money in your envelopes cause everyone is gonna buy them, this is a great way to manage money
I got very lucky with my job. I work for an insurance company and we all work remotely. I do the same things I would do in an office, just from my own room lol all I really needed to get started was a laptop and a phone! I wish I had more helpful advice but I really did sort of just stumble upon this job. I didn't think I had an relevant experience (I have a medical background), but this company thought otherwise and loved my medical background! So I'd say apply to any position where you can work from home, even if you don't think your background is applicable. A lot of the time it's more applicable than you'd think!
Alyssa Nicole thank you for the advice! You seem super sweet and this video was an eye opener for me. I want to start saving and changing the way I spend!
I just started watching your videos, so I don't know if you've already addressed it, but I was wondering if you automatically put a certain amount into a savings account and therefore don't include it in your cash envelopes videos or if you just don't have an individual overall savings account
Just found you and these are so relaxing to watch! i think im gonna try this! im a freshman in college and i dont have lots of bills but i do need to work on how i use my money. any tips for young new budgeters? video idea maybe?
Please let us know when you will begin selling your envelope 🤞🏾 it will be soon.. I have been looking for some that open horizontal that have a nice style like your and there is slim to none on Etsy like yours. Hopefully you will offer different the in set like 6,8,10 or 15 at a reasonable price as I'm just starting out budgeting and would love to have some of your cash envelopes. Super excited!!!!
New sub! Loving this! I've made a dave ramsey snowball payoff explanation method (tho I'm usually a mommy channel). My husband and I are students and are definitely needing to pay off debt. I'll definitely be looking out for the envelopes on Etsy!
Awesome!! Thank you so much for subscribing! I'm hoping to have the envelopes ready and listed next weekend! You can follow me on instagram for a real-time announcement of when they're up! @alyssanicolebudgets
Hello! Thank you for your videos and for being so transparent with your finances. I see that you have specific savings for items like school and a laptop. I’m curious if you have a general savings fund? Thanks again!!
Hi, I watched every video of yours today when I got home from school! I'm a single mom working towards no student loan debt just like you. You have inspired me to keep on moving forward and working hard! If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for work?
Why do I enjoy looking at your money so much?! Lol!!!
I have no idea but I love looking at other people's too so I get it! I'm glad you guys love these 😊
Lol money is beautiful just not when it goes away.
Me too ♡
I don’t know why but this is really relaxing I hope there will be more
Cassidy Briggs agreed
This is so satisfying to watch these bills get paid 😂😂. Idk it's makes me want to be more responsible. I been card happy too. I swipe way too much
Ive been doing this for 2 yrs, im debt free at 41, own my condo , my car, and have saved alot! Love this method:)
I would love to see the MacBook Unboxing (: I’ve literally binge watched all of your videos haha
I'll have to go through the footage and see how it turned out but I'll probably post it! So glad you're liking the videos 😊
I love these types of videos. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m feeling inspired by you to begin envelope stuffing 😍 can’t wait!
I'm so glad you enjoy!!
For ease for your monthly bills try adding up the total you need to keep aside and transfer that into a separate account and have your bills paid from that account. No fear of taking it for anything else as you won’t be using it as your working account. 💕
Those patterns are literally adorable
Yay!! I love them so I'm glad you guys do too!
I love the patterns too. For your "Mac Book" envelope and your "Spending" envelope, I noticed the designs are very similar. Where did you purchase this floral" design? I love this pattern. I looked for it at Michael's and Hobby Lobby, but didn't see it. I'm working on a project, and would love to know where you found this pattern.
I think you should write on the back of the envelope what you deduct as well just to get a better understanding of what’s left.
There is something satisfying about seeing actual monetary bills instead of the bank balance online.
I get so much anxiety watching these bc you have your life together and I'm drowning in overspending! I binge watch your videos to learn your ways
I don’t think you should have to apologize for how you decide to pay off your debt. You’re not married, you live at home, and have no children. This is already smarter than what most people do!
Thank you! ❤️ I feel like I'm doing my best, and I'm doing a pretty good job!
I used to use this method years ago. It gave me peace of mind knowing where I stood financially. Now I use a series of savings accounts at my savings and loan bank.Keep at it and you will be a millionaire like me
Why is this so satisfying and inspiring? 🤩😭
These are so therapeutic for some reason... I love these!
I'm so glad! 😊

LOL! You guys crack me up 😂 Thank you so much!
I thought I was the only one like that :). I saw your comment and felt the need to comment.
Life and Money Nope!!! I was urging her to fix it while I was watching. Drives me crazy!!! 🤣🤣🤣
You inspire me to use cash, you make it look fun! I just started...in one day I can tell the different, I went to 🎯 today and instead of buying the more expensive ⌚️, I bought the lesser one. I really felt the stress of using cash instead of a 💳. Yay!
Just found your channel 😭💖 you don’t understand how much you’ve helped me . I never seen an ACTUAL breakdown of doing bills this way with a budget like mine !! Being in college and budgeting is stressful thank you so much.!!!!
Love your cash envelope stuffing videos. Cant wait for your envelopes to go on sale!
She has a separate envelope for that. It's in part 1 of this video. :)
You have definitely inspired me to start budgeting much more efficiently as you do. I just found out my 3rd child is coming then I found your channel. God send thank you. Just subscribed and currently binge watching🤗🤗🤗🤗
what job do you have tp get paid $1,150 ? 👀 thats what i need

You have excellent lighting unlike other videos. Makes watching your videos much more enjoyable along with the helpful tips.
What if you go to target or somewhere like that and buy groceries and toiletries? Where do you deduct money from? Both categories and just do two different transactions? Or. Would you use your spending money?
These videos inspired me! I bought a laminator and made my own envelopes! Can’t wait for payday to start this process for myself! It’s going to help my fiancé and I save for our wedding next year!!!
I have heard of so many people doing debt free weddings how exciting :)
Just subscribed! Can’t wait to start this system! 😍
Woohoo! Best of luck! Thanks for subscribing! ❤️
When i get my own place I will definitely be using this method. Thank you
Watched your video and went and bought the same wallet lol. Working on making cash envelopes next.
Andrea HEMBY they sell some on amazon a pack of 24 for 10 bucks! What you would spend on making it!
I made mine out of printer paper and washi tape. They have held up fine for about 5 months now. And I had everything on hand and they are super cheap to replace if I need to!!! I just wanted them to be functional.
That's a good idea!!
I totally agree with you on wanting to be living your life too but furgul lol
You've got to find a balance with anything in life if you want it to be sustainable, I've learned! 😊
How do you break up your pay checks? How many 100s, 50s, 20s, 10s, 5s, and 1s do you request out?
Hey, I know this is late, but I have done this, and I wrote down all the amounts I need for each envelope and break them up into bills. (I start with 20s and work down).

I love these videos from you and miss them so much!!!!🥰💜🥰💜
I love your videos, they are so educational and such a joy to watch. Please continue to make more videos. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I love. making these videos for you guys, and I'm so glad you enjoy watching them! 😊

Lol, I love watching you count money and stuffing it. I think it reminds me of Monopoly money!
New subscriber here! Ran across your video this morning and since then I’ve already started working on my budget! Can’t wait for paid day to start stuffing some envelopes!
New subbie, I love your method. I'll be implementing it for myself come my next pay period. Christmas is looking a little scarce as I'll be paying off my credit cards in full, but I will still do my best to buy something for my mom, sis, boyfriend.
Thanks so much for sharing this with me and everyone else on youtube!!
Thank you for sharing. Yes I would love to see when you go shopping at the thrift store.
I have such a bad spending habit. I came across your videos and I really think this system is going to work for me. THANK YOU!
How do you budget out money for sinking funds? Do you budget it after you budget out your expenses?
So excited to try and start this!! And can’t wait for the thrift vid 😍
I love this and it gave me the idea to organize money the same way
I love this ! Your sooo smart and i hope to include this in my budgeting . And yess do a thrift haul!
I should start a channel about me doing my budget with rent. So much of our money goes to rent on its own it’s insane. But I love watching your videos.
You should ASMR your next stuffing 😂 Idk why I feel like the envelopes and cash would sound amazingggg 🤷🏽♀️
Your such a good money tracker in trying to do the same lol
This was very helpful I’m going to be using this method when I start back school this semester.
I love your idea. I'll probably try this as well.
There's also a superstitious belief which i practiced😊😊😊 when i put the money on my wallet/piggy bank/money organizer i tend to make sure that the (picture on the) money is heads down🙃 coz they say that the money will continously goes to your wallet & if its heads up😊, it continously goes out from your wallet😁😁😁

Yay! Ive been waiting for another video like this!
Im newer to your channel and im happy I found you. Im excited for the Cash Envelopes✉️✉️
Respect your money; you work very hard for it. All faces up and turned the same way. Lowest going to highest. Love your method.
Thank u so much for posting! All your tips has helped me throughout last month 😌😌 keep up the awesome work!! 👍🏽
New to these videos so forgive me if this has been asked before. But do you have a general savings account? You pay for lots but do you save for savings sake? Thank you 😊
Love this video!!! How would you suggest using the envelope system when so many payments are paid electronically?
Driving me crazy with the money facing every direction in the envelope! AAAHHHGG
Yes to the capsule wardrobe!!!
That one will take a bit of work to get ready for, but I'm genuinely totally excited for that video!!
This is so therapeutic ☺️ do you send the cash in?
How about switching out the smaller denomination notes from the big ticket saving envelopes with the 100s and 50s from spending money - to cut down the bulkiness?
Now I see how you do it. Can’t wait to start saving up. 😄❤️ new subscriber!!
Your videos have helped me out so much! Thank you for the easy to follow videos ❤️
How do you split your bills when you go to the bank?
also how do you budget the $ into the different envelopes?
What is your job that you do from home?! PS... Love these videos they're so satisfying lol
this is so pleasing, i love you omg
I totally get taking the money out so you dont accidentally spend it! I have one deposit that goes into my account every month that is in addition to my income and I called all of my bill companies and asked them to take their money out the same day! That way that deposit goes in and all my bills come out (other than mortgage) the same day. I also put my mortgage on accelerated bi weekly payments so I get paid on thursday and friday the mortgage comes out before the weekend when we start organizing/divying up the money. It took my a really long time to learn this lesson honestly and I always felt like i was moving money around everywhere to make it work when now its almost like i dont even think about how im going to pay the bill or omg when is this bill due again!?

melanie lopez will do!!
Once you start selling these paychecks, you'll be putting more money in your envelopes cause everyone is gonna buy them, this is a great way to manage money
I enjoy these videos. I need to know how to do this and master it like you do. 😀
If you don’t mind me asking, how do you work from home? I am a college student and would love to be able to work from home while going to school!
I got very lucky with my job. I work for an insurance company and we all work remotely. I do the same things I would do in an office, just from my own room lol all I really needed to get started was a laptop and a phone! I wish I had more helpful advice but I really did sort of just stumble upon this job. I didn't think I had an relevant experience (I have a medical background), but this company thought otherwise and loved my medical background! So I'd say apply to any position where you can work from home, even if you don't think your background is applicable. A lot of the time it's more applicable than you'd think!
Alyssa Nicole thank you for the advice! You seem super sweet and this video was an eye opener for me. I want to start saving and changing the way I spend!
I'm so so glad! Thank you for watching!
What do you do for a living? I’m not sure if you ever said I’m new
Gemini I am new as well! And I believe she said something about working with an insurance company? I could be wrong😬
I just started watching your videos, so I don't know if you've already addressed it, but I was wondering if you automatically put a certain amount into a savings account and therefore don't include it in your cash envelopes videos or if you just don't have an individual overall savings account
sounds very interesting!!I am going to try your method!!Thanks for responding!!
Great video ! You should definitely post the unboxing of the mac. Also, does your boyfriend budget as well? And how long have you been budgeting?
I love watching you stuff envelopes your money is so different than Canadian money😁

Please let us know when you will begin selling your envelope 🤞🏾 it will be soon.. I have been looking for some that open horizontal that have a nice style like your and there is slim to none on Etsy like yours. Hopefully you will offer different the in set like 6,8,10 or 15 at a reasonable price as I'm just starting out budgeting and would love to have some of your cash envelopes. Super excited!!!!
Love, love, love watching your videos!!!!😍💞 I would love to see an unboxing of your macbook please!!!🙏
You got it! 😊 so glad you're loving them!
New sub! Loving this! I've made a dave ramsey snowball payoff explanation method (tho I'm usually a mommy channel). My husband and I are students and are definitely needing to pay off debt. I'll definitely be looking out for the envelopes on Etsy!
Awesome!! Thank you so much for subscribing! I'm hoping to have the envelopes ready and listed next weekend! You can follow me on instagram for a real-time announcement of when they're up! @alyssanicolebudgets
What is your etsy?? I would love to buy envelopes from you! I love this I am going to start this system thanks to you!
Hello! Thank you for your videos and for being so transparent with your finances. I see that you have specific savings for items like school and a laptop. I’m curious if you have a general savings fund? Thanks again!!
I’ll be graduating in December with my adn, I would love if you filmed your nursing school journey
Hi, I watched every video of yours today when I got home from school! I'm a single mom working towards no student loan debt just like you. You have inspired me to keep on moving forward and working hard! If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for work?
