100 Envelope Challenge

[@JesusisKing03]

Imagine getting envelopes 100-90 the first 10 days 🤣 girl we don't have money like that. Even saving $20 a day is hard 😔

[@correodepatty]

Yeah it’s seem very unrealistic but, every paycheck is possible or team up with a partner or friend whose willing to do this challenge so it won’t seem overwhelming for one person.

[@AngieM285]

You don't have to do it everyday you fill it whenever you can

[@maceyplz9122]

Yeah she is out of touch with regular people.

[@joziedrew7117]

Im going to start this challenge but im only gonna do on my paycheck, because i need that money for stuff 😂 cant do it everyday

[@EVTD79]

​ @AngieM285 Yeah, I'm going at my own pace. I do plan on stuffing envelopes on payday.

[@urbanlialm8063]

This amount of saving is unrealistic for most people. A feasible way to do this for low income people (such as myself) is to just add whatever you can to the envelopes each day. Don’t pay attention to the number on the envelope. I only add $5 if that’s all I have. Also, you don’t even have to add to the envelopes EVERY day. The goal is to just fill 100 envelopes. Whenever you finish the challenge, it’s fun to open them and see how much you’ve saved. And use cheap envelopes or make them using scrap paper.

[@hello.jila656]

This is exactly what I was thinking! Have 100 envelopes and fill what you can when you have extra cash to hand and it takes however long it takes 😊

[@kerriehawkins3686]

I’ve heard of people doing it by adding the numbers together so if you have $99, you do 9+9=18. You can make it whatever you want to though. I’ve seen some people pull them for the next week, maybe one or two, and then they figure out where the money would come from when planning the next paycheck. The important thing is to save. ❤

[@jclyntoledo]

Thank you! Much better for me to do, although idk if I'll do 100 days

[@brendaallen7683]

you could also do the challenge and when you get to double digits, you can just add the 2 numbers together and put that amount. Ex: 12=1+2 (3 dollars) and when you get to the 100th number add 10+0 for $10. You'll save about 900 like this. It may not be the $5,050, BUT you've saved something!

[@hello.jila656]

@@brendaallen7683 I like this idea!

[@MySGarden]

Dollar store envelopes, stickers and box will do...

[@EVTD79]

Yes, the cheapest route. Save while you're saving...

[@aneshaelizabeth]

I recently started my challenge and I grabbed the $2 envelopes from Walmart. I put them back in the box that they came in after I numbered them and wrote “savings challenge” on the box.

[@luckylib]

Who has that much every day? I thought about it but I don't have different amounts per day

[@Sum1Budgets]

Pull a envelope every week or pay day. Do it at your own paste is the key 🔑

[@Tracywhited2]

Not me. 😂😂😂

[@correodepatty]

@@Sum1Budgets Yes, per paycheck works best or team up with a friend, family member or partner. So it won’t be so overwhelming for one person. 😊

[@lialogica]

Do it weekly

[@luckylib]

Thank yall because I was overwhelmed. I will do it at my own pace

[@burymebelowawillowtree9243]

I’ll try 1 through 25 envelopes instead. And work up to 100. Don’t have that much money.

[@correodepatty]

Yes, start something small. I will so do it this way.

[@jacintamcpadden7258]

Good idea 💡

[@jclyntoledo]

Exactly! I was thinking doing 30 days/30 envelopes

[@CraftHarlot]

Even doing 1-25 will end up saving $325

[@corigram]

I could do this if I didn't eat, pay the utilities or buy gas.

[@colombianqueen9046]

You dont have to do it every day. You could try every pay check and customize it to if your needs or goals❤

[@tatianabritton6258]

I do the weekly challenge but a digital version where I move money from my checking to my savings. Me personally, I don’t carry that much cash and I don’t feel comfortable having that much cash on hand but do what works best for you!

[@maddiehall5317]

@@colombianqueen9046yeah, I think I would try to go this every paycheck instead cause trying to do this daily would be impossible 😭

[@kozmcc]

folks, you dont need to do this each day. Pulling 2 numbers (a low and a high one) each week gets it done in a year. 🤩 Or you can do what i do and just fill an envelope when i can. if i have an extra $15 from groceries i’ll find the nearest denomination close to that and fill. Or if its a bigger number (eg 100) it might take me a few smaller deposits to have it all, and thats ok too! you do whst works for YOU! 😊

[@prettyblueskies8492]

Thank you,that’s a great idea 💡

I’m sorry what lmfao 🤣 where am I gonna find this extra money everyday

[@necrobabe6190]

Idk about every day. Maybe a few per check.

[@unapologetically_lupe]

My method is focusing on the big numbers first and then working my way down. I’m also doing this over 6 months. My thinking behind it is if I can do it in 6 months, I can definitely do it again. $10k in one year seems good to me. I’m achieving this by cutting down on weed, iced coffee from Dunkin & no take out food, only cooking at home. I’m super focused!

[@JenniferHartman-no5xy]

As low income peeps , could use dollar tree envelopes & stickers. Put whatever u can that day ..maybe 3.00 , maybe 2.00 on another day ! ❤

[@blackpearlswallet]

Please say those envelopes were on sale because 12.99 for a box of just colorful envelopes.😳😳.. made me clutch my pearls lol 😂🤣 I love the Lisa stickers #nostalgia

[@denisewalker4620]

My hobby lobby had theirs on clearance for $1.24 that's when I got mines

When people save but spend $13 on envelopes. Savings is in all forms. Shop around to lower your insurance, swich cell plans, review subscriptions and get thing that dont matter at dollar tree, like envelopes.

[@sportslaughandchill]

Yup!

[@shanny4910]

What happens when u pull an envelope out nd don't even have enough to put in said envelope? Single Mom here nd sometimes I have $40 left to last me the week. Guess this challenge is a challenge for the already rich folk, the ones that don't necessarily need any extra money ya know.

[@crazy4beatles]

Yup this comes off as more for people that have money but poor impulse control. You can try doing smaller amounts. There’s no rule that says it has to be 1 to 100. Do like 1 to 5 and repeat those until you hit 100 envelopes. That will add up to $300, which is a good start for an emergency fund.

[@shanny4910]

@@crazy4beatles that's a great idea! Thank you ❤️ The whole concept is really cool nd wud love to try it.

[@Uvvibes]

Exactly

[@lilliancolon3442]

I agree with a lot of the comments that others are making about how it’s not realistic. It would probably work better if you did it once every paycheck whether you get paid weekly or biweekly would make more sense every day not so much.

[@lisbethdc]

For the people complaining about the envelopes price, a thing you can do is take a bag and put the numbers from one to hundred in different papers and every day pick one number and save that amount in just one envelope. That way you can still do the challenge and save money at the same time.

[@wendyj.3858]

$5000 in 100 days? Maybe after a year or 2 for me...

[@wiccanloverkris]

I do two envelopes a month. Better months, i do more. It's not as quick, but it does work!

How to save money. What you’ll want to do is buy expensive crap from the over priced craft store 😂

[@bcwe1659]

Dollar store isn’t expensive

[@joannasarcamedes8191]

This video explains it the clearest.

[@mist4926]

Pk my thoughts is if you have bills. You dont have anything left to put in envelope. Maybe do the budget envelope system. You tag each envelope with the name of the bill. Add to it so when bill comes you have the money. Then have one envelope for savings

[@alizchan4500]

Before you start saving, you first waste money on envelopes and stickers. You simply need one jar + an app that helps you randomly draw from 1 to 100.

[@user-th3yt1ot4g]

Wish I had that to do it. I live paycheck to paycheck with nothing left over.

[@barbiemoyen]

Each day? Or how about every week?

[@LHS427]

I did this but my envelopes ranged from 100-200. Great way to learn how to actually save money

[@dot.dot.7578]

Who the heck has money to add to it EVERYDAY??

[@Uvvibes]

But constantly going to the atm and the store to break 20s into $1s seems daunting

Lol, each day??? I’ll do week 😭😭

[@HimWhoIs]

Most of you complaining in the comments just overspend and refuse to live below your means. The average adult can save $5k a year. Cmon!

Pull 2 envelope every pay period , I don’t have that each day ma’am 😂, must be nice, 🤷‍♀️. The goal is to fill 100 envelopes go at your pace. You can also do a 1-20 envelope that’s $210 or even a 1-50 envelope that’s $1255. Do what you can and make it fun. 💙

That's only possible if you earn enough. If anyone can't afford that they can put £/$1 per day. If this is too much do 10 pence/cents. MAKE SURE YOU PUT IT A SIDE EVERY DAY.

[@perfectlyimperfect2770]

If most people had $5,000 in the first place to stash away they probably wouldn't be looking at money challenges and besides it seems as tho it's more like a game you play with only you being player to see what the price of the envelope holds for you that day or week or whatever. It's almost like a pyramid scheme to me, but that's only my opinion. Good luck to those of you who try this and the method actually works. Guess ya gotta have money to make money, but us who are not so fortunate needs a challenge that you don't have to invest so much. I guess this would work if you number the envelopes from 1 to 20 or just whatever amount you can afford to put back at random.

[@sarabavota]

Hi, I have an important question to ask: can you advice methods to keep the saved money safe at home in case of theft? I really like the idea of the envelope challange but I am scared to save so much money and leave it at home

[@cunningtricksterrabbit]

I'm doing this challenge differently by filling each corresponding envelope with the money when I have that money to spare. It's more realistic for me that way. I can slowly fill the bigger number envelopes with money until it's full.

[@Uvvibes]

I’m gonna do this but for each week is more plausible

[@WuffskyArts]

I heard you can buy those card-sized envelops from the dollar tree, seal them and cut them in half. 50 envelopes turn into 100 smaller ones for your challenge :)

[@yumihimeart]

Or .. take you safing box and add one dollar on day first, two dollars on the second and so on an safe those 12,99 and money for Stickers. O.o

For those who dont need envelopes and stickers, just put away a little over $56/day or $1,680 per month for 3 months and you get about the same amount, some $5,000, which is the minimum that is recommended to have set aside for an emergency fund. Of course, for some people, that is close to an entire month's salary, in which case, you would have to get a second job or figure out a way to become a double income household.
