***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!

Don you end up affecting your taxes or something? It’s like the bank think you’re earning double the same money if you withdraw and deposit the same money.

[@roxyfoxy1924]

@@Imkpopmom taxes are not based on what is put into a bank account. It's based on your you paycheck. So I could withdrawal and deposite the same $500 everyday and it wouldn't change my tax bracket.

Try only going out with cash and leave your card at home. Seeing bills going away may affect your more than just swiping a card.

[@randomperson-sy4di]

Kstepballa thx for the advice. I will try that. I always carry cash with me now but I always have my card with me so I end up using it all the time even though I have cash on me. Now I’m planning on just leaving my card home.

Okay. It’s settled. I’m making myself an envelope as well.

[@KayMizzo21]

My grandfather, who was born in the 20s, taught my mom this when she went to college and had to start budgeting her money. She has now passed down the envelope system to me and my sister and I couldn’t imagine doing my bills any other way. Everything I spend money on has an envelope and it makes it so effortless when it comes time to pay for something! It’s cool to see someone else doing it as well! Most of my friends thought I was weird for this lol

I love that you are saving for school and a new laptop. That is awesome!!! I have recently really gotten into using cash envelopes as well... and every time I go to the bank they ask me about it... I get paid once a month so I go after I get paid and take out around $800... in crazy bills. It’s funny.

[@alyssamakesamigurumi]

Thank you! :) Cash envelopes really are the best! LOL people really are curious about what we do! I basically take out my ENTIRE paycheck every 2 weeks and I get asked if I'm making a big purchase or something, and then I have to explain the cash envelopes thing. I like talking about it so I don't mind too much, but it's definitely a quick way to become "that girl" at the bank!

[@iuliacordus]

What are crazy bills?

[@ell040]

Iulia Cordus usually if you're taking money out of the bank, you can get it in 20's or 100's... getting your money in as few bills as possible. crazy money is asking to split the money you're taking out in different bills, say you want 8 1's and 3 50's or 11 10's, it's crazy because there's a big split up with money... i didn't explain that well but i hope you understand it a bit more

I’m living paycheck to pay check and really want to have this system. But as soon as I get my paycheck I have to pay the full bills with all my money. How did you get it so that you could set aside half of the bill each paycheck and then at the end of the month be able to pay from the 2 times you put money in. I hope that made since.

[@Laure_Travels]

How do you know how much to put in the “Fun” envelopes?( shopping,movies,birthdays,trips etc..)

[@nortiekeeks]

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]

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.

[@trinaybarra12]

This is exactly what I was thinking and wondering the same thing

Your budget planner looks like what I want who makes it and where did you get it

[@alyssamakesamigurumi]

It is a "Happy Planner" with a 6 month extension pack added. There is a separate video on my channel all about my budget planner!

[@withloveleli]

How can you spend 40usd in groceries.... I spend 50 every week!!

[@alyssamakesamigurumi]

I've talked about this before but I'm fortunate enough to be living at home while I'm going to school and working full time, so I can eat the food that is in this house. That's the only way I'm able to make that amount work.

[@khaedeenb1873]

Sk Scarlet great question

[@Journeylivin]

Buying packaged foods and not utilizing sales raise up the prices probably of your groceries if you do so. Produce is mostly cheap and fruit. The meat is the most expensive but I buy when I see a good sale and freeze the extras

[@blackgirlmagic6385]

I spend 30 every other week

[@velvetrosas9528]

99 cent store buying what you really need making your dollar stretch

[@desiraeramos7272]

This is so satisfying to watch. I always have separated my money for different savings! Glad to know I’m not the only one😊

[@pickleflavor]

Oh man. I need to do this. We’ve learned about in general financial literacy but actually seeing you do it makes it feel much more attainable for me. I have a problem with spending my money online or through my debit card when I really need to be saving it/budgeting for various things. I’m really glad I stumbled upon this video!

[@ivywarren9496]

I would love to know where you got your budget journal I start school next month and I need this in my life

[@jenniez4999]

What do you do that you have $1k paychecks and still go to school? Lol a girl needs to know!!!

[@alyboo2323]

My checks are a little over 1k and I’m a teller at a bank :)

[@susanajubileesjewelry2352]

@@alyboo2323 do you need a degree for that?

[@whovian7777]

Jubie Delvalle i work at a bank, i make 12.50 an hour. i don’t have a degree (when i first started i was also going to college) and my manager doesn’t have a college degree

[@TheMariahAli]

my paychecks range from 800-1000 and i’m a hostess 🤷🏻‍♀️ but it depends where you’re from / minimum wage

[@bobbyblues9330]

I have no job caz I’m 15 😂

[@itzyescobar6602]

Omg when you forgot toiletries I was DYING lol 😂😭💀

[@A_M868]

I can already imagine how stress free you are by doing this, it so smart

[@themerantis5014]

$40 on grocery’s?!?! God bless you 😂

[@raquelcuriel3945]

This was so satisfying to watch your envelopes are amazing I hope you can make them in purple 💜 I made mines already but yours are really pretty, you r going to sell good ;)

[@alyssamakesamigurumi]

I'm so glad! Thank you so much :)

[@Ahmarnie22]

I am SUPER happy I found this video, I don't have a lot of responsibilities but my dad just started having me pay Car insurance and my phone bill, so I need a good way to separate my money and give myself a little bit more control on how to budget.

[@MommaBird52]

I went to community back in the 80s and 12 credit hours were considered fulltime. I paid $36 and took 26 credit hours -- day classes, night classes and weekend!

[@leeb568]

Im sorry if this question is rude to ask but what do you work in?? Id pass out if i received a paycheck close to $1,000. Im living off of a $200-$300 paycheck every two weeks. Im definitely in the wrong field.

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

Lee B Do you work like ten hours a week?? Lmao she just works more hours than you

[@leeb568]

Rips and Rants this comment is so rude and uncalled for. I get paid minimum wage, as do many people, so even if we did work the same hours then she’d be making way more money than i would be making. Its funny how some people like you have never had to scrape up money to buy groceries for the week yet still have the audacity to open your mouth and make fun of people who work their ass off every single day to make enough money to stay alive.

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

Lee B I work two minimum wage jobs. Shut the fuck up because someone pointed out a minor detail. In no state do you work full time and make 200-300$ a biweekly check. I just pointed out that she works more hours, that's why she makes more money, don't be a whiny brat.

[@leeb568]

Rips and Rants I NEVER said i worked a full time job. If you really do understand how hard it is then why are you out here making shitty ass comments to something that doesn’t even concern you. Keep your ugly negativity to yourself.

[@dndnenejeeehehehe4754]

Lee B You literally started your comment off with “I’m sorry if this question is rude...” If you think it’s rude, then there’s no sense in asking.

[@corinne732]

That is a smart girl
