I found your videos today, and love the stashing for holidays and things like 'auto repairs that sneak up on you rather than just lumping them together under savings. Keeping the items categorised is smart. I wish banks would let you create mini-savings lists. 😅 My toxic trait is buying books I know I won't read.

Another one of mine, is I do not like odd numbers. I will fight with the volume to get on an even number and having $21 in an envelope is not okay, gotta make it $22!

Ooo my toxic trait started during COVID - it’s buying more than we need. Like, let’s say I’ve got half a bottle of laundry detergent left - I’ll add it to my target list and pick it up even though it’s not in the budget because “omg what if they don’t have it?!” It was literally the worst feeling ever going to the store during COVID and not being able to get my kid’s specific brand of milk (my one will drink anything, the other was really fussy and needed special milk) and that feeling of not being able to get it anywhere for awhile really stuck and did a number on my finances. I’m getting better about it now and cash stuffing actually helps - if I want the money to roll into my savings challenges at the end of the week, it’s like a game to see how little I can spend and so I only get what we truly need that week.

Hi Rochelle, I just discovered your channel today. I love your savings challenges and after reading about the coin challenge, I emptied all my purses, looking for $ and went through all my pockets and my car--to the tune of $3.61! I also added 2 challenges for myself. I make my living as a writer, so I am saving one penny for every word I write in an article or story. I also started Intermittent Fasting and for every mail I do not eat, I save what I might have spent on a meal. That savings challenge is adding up fast! (Much faster than the $3.61 I found at the bottom of my purses!). Keep up the good work and thank you!

Thanks for sharing your toxic traits! I also make mistakes managing my cash stuffing savings when it's the bank, I'll spend it or forget which goal it was for. Keeping it in an envelope at home is so much easier. One of my other toxic traits is buying soda cans or sparkling water and then not drinking the whole thing. Then it goes flat and no one wants to drink it then! lol

My toxic trait is having to do everything in 25$ intervals. Which ends in me thinking I have more money to spend than I actually should. example if I have 149$ left over that to me means I can save 125$ and spend the extra 24$. It’s a bad habit that leads to me never being able to save anything 🤦🏻♂️

My toxic trait is that I don't care whose house I am in or anywhere for that matter, if the toilet roll is not facing the correct way, I change it. As far as finances are concerned, my toxic trait is that I always think I have plenty of time to save for something but I don't but I have wasted the money i could have saved in the meantime on stuff I didn't really need, so that is why I started cash stuffing to stop all of that happening.
@blknubian Жыл бұрын
Omg, this is me. I truly need to value and appreciate $1 and $5 bills more. You spend "pocket change" on little things, $3.50 here, $5.40 there and next thing you know it totals $60..... HOW??? Like you said, cash stuffing helps you to see your money and appreciate how fast that pocket change can accumulate and contribute to your financial goals in a positive and productive way!
