UNSTUFFING - 100 Envelope Challenge $10k 12-21-23

[@Matty.G.Weights]

When I was 23 I saved 100k and I'll tell you what. I never knew what I needed to know back then. Because I had to goals. And now that I have grown a bit older and am a bit wiser I understand what I had so I will be doing it again and investing it and buying a home. And I think I might just start posting it on this account

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@Qrides]

What did u do with the 100k??? U didn’t buy a home?

[@greatfullincome]

Unstuffings are so motivating to watch 👜💸🫧😍

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

They are! I love them too… it’s what drew me to this community!!! I greatly appreciate you being here!!!

[@joanthomsen]

Awesome job I started my first 100 envelope challenge on Dec 1, 2023 just to get out of debt and I am also doing other savings challenges to set aside for what we need. I am almost 61 and I wished this was around when I was in my 20's better late than never. I have learned so much from these videos. I found these videos being advertised on Facebook passed it up until one day I started thinking about it and then I started watching these videos on KZbin. Best decision I made now my family is supporting my savings.

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Wow…this is SO awesome!! I’m so glad you found these videos… I share the same experience… I did my first 100 envelope challenge in 2023, but I found it December 2022… I’ve never saved this kind of money before, I literally was content with saving $1000 a year! These challenges have truly made a difference!!! Keep going, you will LOVE the result!!! I greatly appreciate you watching my video and sharing your experience!!

[@tashasmoneyandstuff]

oh my gosh! _oh my gosh!_ *oh my gosh!* $400 above the challenge itself!! 💙

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

It’s amazing how my brain can help comprehend that I was able to do this challenge, and it was very likely that I would complete it-BUT I vividly remember my beginnings and my struggles… I am so humbled that I was able to do this!! Seriously I was perfectly content with saving $1000 a year😳 but you know better you do better!!! I am so grateful for all of you who documented your journey because it has helped me accomplish what I did in this challenge! Thank you for paving the way, Tasha😍😍😍

[@NotBrokeForLong]

So inspiring! Congrats on finishing this challenge! I started mine in June and will be carrying it over into the new year. I would love to do a 10k version when this one is over

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thank you so very much… the timeframe doesn’t matter you were being consistent and when you get it done, it will come right on time!!! I’m rooting for you!!!

[@nineblossoms]

Another one! *in my DJ Khaled voice* Yay, Melissa! 🎉Less than a year, that is so great! I love to see when you complete these challenges and your plans to distribute the funds! 😊🌺🐝

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Yessss, thank you so very much Jeannine… I’m actually over here dancing a little!! I greatly appreciate you celebrating and sharing in my excitement!!!

[@budgetwithlove]

13:32 you are so inspiring! I'm starting a 100 envelope challenge next year and I'm excited about getting to the end. What I've gathered is that consistency and intentionality is the key. Thank you for sharing 💕

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Absolutely… consistency will get you to the end… of course we all want to finish within a year but if it took you a year and a half wouldn’t $5000 still come in handy🤔 I love this challenge and having a lump sum of money to be able to make bigger decisions!!! Thank you so much for being here!!!

[@sarahsulton7786]

Dang, she counting that money like a top bank teller!!!

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

😂😂😂I did work in the cash office at TJMaxx when I was younger!!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@ShannyH]

I love the spending plan!!! I started my savings challenge this week and I started budgeting a few months ago, but seeing your yearly expenses including self care is so helpful

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thank you so much Shanny!!! I definitely like to dream on paper throughout the year… I’m taking self-care much more seriously now!!! I greatly appreciate you being here!!!

[@datingmybudget285]

Yesssss Melissa! Where you are now, is where Im trying to go. I love thst you showed your breakdown of where your money is going. The last item in your list, has been at the forefront of my list. I would love to have gas expense prepaid annually, and as usual thanks for continuing to motivate me and this community! Enjoy your weekend and Christmas!

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Nita you just gave me an idea… I’m going now go back through my statements and see if I can see how much I spent on gas for the year, so I can know what I should be saving for!!! I love that we get ideas from each other in this community!!! Thank you for sharing in my excitement and celebrating with me!!! I greatly appreciate you friend💕💕💕

[@nicolenewman3453]

Congratulations🙌🏾👏🏾💪🏾

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thank you!! I appreciate you watching!!!

[@KatieoftheHouse]

This was so satisfying to watch, Melissa: this video and all of the videos along the way. You will forever be the queen of the 100 envelope challenge 👑

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thank you, Katie!! I really can’t express how grateful I am for your constant support!! I feel extremely blessed to be able to stay consistent with the savings challenges.!!!

[@angelbudgets]

Love it! I know it feels good to have all that money saved! with consistency comes great reward. Good Job!!

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

You are so right… consistency was definitely the key!! I’m hoping for the same consistency for this year as I save $15,000!!! I greatly appreciate you being here!! Thank you!!!

[@TheALMOSTOrganizedOwl]

Yesssss stacks of a $1,000...not $100s, but THOUSANDS!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 Get money!!! Melissa, I am SOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU, SIS!!!! And your channel is blowing up!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 You know I just absolutely love how organized you are with planning out your year....#goals!!!

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

It’s definitely a blessing!! if I’m being honest, I did not envision this in my life… I know it’s easy for other people to look at me and say, of course, you could do this, but I didn’t see it for myself!!! Finding these challenges has changed everything for me… it has elevated the way I think even!!! Community is so important and I was missing this in my life! I appreciate you so much, Nita!!! I’m grateful for your support!!! I’m grateful for you, sharing in my excitement and celebrating with me!!! my channel growth was such a pleasant surprise!! There really I s no rhyme or reason to how or why KZbin promotes certain videos… this is the main reason why I do videos that I wanna watch only!! I’m grateful when a video gets over 1000 views, but not upset when it only gets 200 views!!! 2023 has been an amazing year for me on KZbin and financially!! I am very excited to see what 2024 has in store!! I love you sis and I pray you have a wonderful new year💕💕💕💕

[@jessibudgets]

Melissa I just noticed you hit 2k subscribers!! Congrats!!! So amazing that you were able to save over 10k in a little less than a year! Love the detailed breakdown, I also did a similar spreadsheet for my sinking funds and monetary goals for each! It is so nice to see that you will be focusing money specifically for self care!

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thank you, Jessi… you’re the first one to notice that I hit 2K… this just happened in the last week… my last two videos, got a lot more attention from KZbin🤷🏽‍♀️ I wish I understood why but I’m grateful for it!! I am extremely grateful that I was able to stay consistent this year !! It’s a blessing to be able to fund so many things that I like to do for next year so I can focus on my next goal of $15K!! I think making the spreadsheet aware the money is going to go is in our blood because we are budgeters… we tell our money where to go because we know it will just go away if we don’t!!! Thank you so much for being here.!!!

[@mommytradertube]

Wow Melissa! I am blown away at what you saved with this challenge! Go girl!!

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

I am so happy that I finished!! I feel extremely blessed to have been able to stay consistent!!! Thank you so much for being here.💕💕💕

[@KnightLyfe]

Eeeeek! So excited and happy for you. I need to find a box and make envelopes for 2024. I like the idea of not having to fold the money. I watched this video twice.

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thank you SO very much Gillian!!! When I first started therapy, my therapist would ask how do I care for myself? I honestly couldn’t say…. fast-forward to now I practice self-care!! I treat myself how I want others to treat me… I give to myself as I would give to others… I wouldn’t bad and I to spend $50 on someone else but I had every excuse why I shouldn’t do it for myself… so I have to change that muscle memory too!! I greatly appreciate you being here!!!

[@armonnibudgets]

Everyone should pay attention to this! Saving for the NEXT year is brilliant! ❤you’re brilliant! I can see how this would help you save more the next year! Great demonstration ❤❤❤❤

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thank you SO much Lindsay!!! I greatly appreciate you being!! I tell you, friend obedience has truly paid off!! I remember in the beginning of my journey wishing I could have certain things, but I knew the Lord wanted me to be responsible!! I would feel guilty when I charge something and didn’t have the money!! of course I wasn’t charging the right thing either😂😂😂 I know this is God because I didn’t plan KZbin, I didn’t plan saving… I was content with $1000 a year… that really does give us more than we can even imagine or think!!! I am truly grateful!!!

Thank you Ro…I’m sooo grateful I was able to stay consistent…I greatly appreciate you cheering me on all along the way too!!! Have a wonderful day!!!

[@WhatMattersMostNow]

Melissa, great job saving!! That totally inspires me that I can do it too. I just started truly budgeting a couple weeks ago, so Ill have to watch your previous videos to see what method you used. I also love the break down at the end to show how you allocated the money!🎉

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

You absolutely can do it too!!! I think we should remove the timeframe and just be as consistent as we can be… it doesn’t matter when you finish it will come in handy!! I’ve been budgeting for over 20 years so I don’t have much debt… just my mortgage and my husband’s truck!! we are at the point in our financial journey that we have more discretionary income!! my husband and I both get allowance and I use my allowance for these challenges!! no matter what your situation is you can always save even if it’s a small amount eventually it will grow!! I greatly appreciate you being!!!

[@WhatMattersMostNow]

@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat We have our mortgage and a small loan on the home we built for my parents (attached to our home-they both have dementia). We used to have lots of discretionary income when we both worked, but I have stepped away from being a Realtor to care for momma and daddy full time, so we are down to one income, but it's all good! Thank you for your encouragement!!

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

@@WhatMattersMostNow you are truly a blessing to care for your parents the you are!!

[@pipes6414]

This is so awesome!! Im gonna do it for 2024! Thank you for sharing!

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thank you!!! I did the 100 envelope challenge for the first time in 2022… I stumbled across a video at Christmas in 2021 and I jumped in headfirst… the first time I did it. I did it the traditional way and save $5050. I’ve been budgeting for over 19 years, but I wasn’t great at saving…. This challenge has changed all of that. I would highly recommend for anyone to give it a try!! I’m not gonna lie after about three months it does get super challenging… I think we start off with a lot of adrenaline and motivation but it does take some mental capacity to stay consistent! Of course, I’ve I’ve had to make some sacrifices too… the second go round wasn’t so hard mentally, but it is still challenging to stay consistent of stuffing the envelopes! Thank you so much for being here!!!

This is soooo awesome! You have definitely inspired me to save for things I want in the next year. It sounds so freeing 😅 amazing job! Can’t wait to see what you do in 2024!

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thank you SO much!!! it really is freeing… I think the hard part is figuring out what we really want!! I have been on a journey to learn how to care for myself completely!! I could have saved like this years ago, but I didn’t see it… I still had a poor mentality… now that I can “have what I want.” The material things don’t have much value…. I can see more value in my husband and my children. I’m learning to be content and it’s a peace that I can’t explain. I greatly appreciate you being here.

Thank you SO much Barb!!! I’m so touched that you follow my journey so closely!!! It is truly a blessing to be able to stay consistent!! I didn’t really envision this for myself… I’m very responsible with my budget, but wasn’t that great with saving. Find this community open my eyes to how I could do better!!!

My 1st time watching your video & my 1st thought was… she must not have any debt!! Love your video, I will be subscribing!

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thanks for subbing! I greatly appreciate your support!! Yes, we have debt but it’s only my husband‘s truck and our mortgage! I found Dave Ramsey back in 2003, so I have been budgeting for over 20 years!!! Although I was great at telling my money, where to go, I wasn’t always saving as well as I could have!! I rested on the fact that we have 401(k)s and real estate!! But the closer I get to retirement the more cash on hand, I want to see!! I found the 100 envelope challenge Christmas 2021 and I completed it for the first time in 2022 for $5050!!! I was able to do it in eight months the first time and that made me realize that with more intentionality I could save more!! I’m enjoying the journey and (KZbin) has been very fun and supportive for me!! I have a $15,000 goal for next year that I’ve already started!!! Thank you so much for being here. I greatly appreciate you!!!

[@SummerSorrow]

@@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat Thank you for having me. I recently learned about Dave Ramsey & I am striving to be where you are! I recently started doing the 100 envelope challenge myself.

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

@@SummerSorrowremember, that the road will be bumpy at times, but you can do it…slow and steady wins the race. You’ll have to make some sacrifices (it’s the only way to change your muscle memory and mentality to spending and saving!) I promise it will be worth the sacrifices!!!

[@debrasjourney]

This was so much fun. I watched it while I was driving into the office and it was better than my cup of coffee. 😂 I loved the unstuffing and how you broke down what you’re going to use the money for. I am very happy you’re putting a decent amount towards self-care because you deserve it for all of your hard work. Thanks Melissa for showing all of us that we can do this too! 🎉🎉❤

Yay Melissa!!! I’ve been waiting for this unstuffing!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 love the no ones. Does the bank or gov tag you at all when you take a certain amount back to the bank? Also can you add the Etsy shop you got your envelopes from in the description?

[@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat]

Thank you Kay!! Yes, the bank filled out a currency transaction report on me because I deposited over $10,000… they asked to see my ID even though I had my bank card, they also asked me where the money came from, which was awesome because I got to share my KZbin channel with them… the teller says she would subscribe😂😂 I made my own envelopes… they’re not perfect, but I caught sales at Michael’s and Joann fabrics for the stock cart paper at a very low cost… literally at Joann, the sheets of paper, or as low as $.25! I greatly appreciate you being here today and celebrating with me!!!
