Now I may be new to the budgeting community but I have been wondering why didn't you just take all the money out and separate it in a cash tray then fill it like that. But that's just me. I have a 💯 dollar envelope challenge going but I'm stuffing each one with a hundred dollar bill it's going to take a long while but it will be 10 thousand when it's done.

I do something similar. 1-50 gets $50. 51-100 gets $100.

Same!! $100 for each pocket 🎉

Desiree, please don’t let anyone tell you how to run your challenges!! This is your channel and it’s up to you how to do everything. I found it very satisfying to watch you move the money up to the larger numbers no matter how you got there. I’m so excited for you. That’s a lot of hard work and dedication to get where you’re going. Thanks for sharing!! 💛

I’m on second 100 envelopes challenge run. My first the money come in so handy the moment I needed it. This is spectacular. I’ll keep doing this challenge for years to come.

That was SO satisfying to watch. So happy for you! 🎉

Thanks! It was so good to see all those large numbers filled in

I love the way you filled in your larger denominations! It is such a smart idea! 😊thank you for sharing and congratulations on your progress, I can’t wait to start this challenge!

After watching your video, I was thinking - As someone with a very low income, maybe a 25 envelope challenge would be easier for people like me to get started. Then, we can condense the 25 completed envelopes into a 50 envelope challenge starting with $50 (using the 1, 24, and 25 envelopes for the 50, then 4, 22, and 23 would go into the 49, etc). I think making challenges smaller to fit your budget is smart. I've also seen some budgeters who put a specific denomination, such as $5 into each of the envelopes, which is also smart, because 5 x 100 = 500, and for us penny-pinchers, that's a lot of money saved!

You do you Desiree, it was awesome seeing you knock out those big numbers!

I’m new to the budgeting community but this is a great idea to condense multiple smaller envelopes to fill the larger ones. It makes it more attainable!

I love doing the 100 envelop challenge this way. Taking the smaller numbers and filling the bigger numbers. Great job.

I just got this binder and started my 100 envelope challenge. I really get excited when I can fill one or more of the inserts with my extra cash. Love all your videos!

It’s great to see how the binder works for your challenge. Thank you Desiree for sharing your saving challenge journey and inspiring to start our own and also bring so open about it!

Great video and smart idea to move the smaller numbers to the larger ones, hopefully it makes it easier to complete

I loved watching this video. Strangely relaxing. 😊

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is a great idea. I haven’t thought about it before but I’ll definitely do it later on in my challenge as well. The smaller amounts are easier and less painful to fill

Glad to see you have moved to the 100 Envelop challenge book. I started in January and started at 1 and now I’m at 20 now. I’m going in order so I can stuff multiple ones on payday since they are small amounts FOR NOW…LOL It will be a different story once I get to the larger numbers but I’m excited to see the progress every payday. Great video.

Just double the cash in each until you get to an amount that's hard to double, like 25. So instead of saving x by the 25 mark you'll have 2x then fill the last 75 slots regularly

You could make place holders for them instead no. 1-100, to keep pockets under least amount of stress and thickness, put straight into savings account. Could have separate acct if necessary. Means less cash stored at home, not everyone has a safe. 😊

This is a great idea! I think I might do something like this the next time I do this challenge. but my goal right now is to have all the cash on hand, mainly for content purposes, so that way I can do a huge unstuffing video once I am done which I will need all the cash to count🤗

Love this idea!

I purchased the green version after you posted a whole bunch of budgeting items in a prior video. I didn't care for the small bin to put them in and when you found this one I had to jump on it! I love it, and not a bad size. I loved the three saving challenge options too. Thank you!

I bought and started doing a 100 envelope binder last month. So fun.

Unbelievable that you had saved that much. I have been attempting the 52week challenge but yet to finish. I been hoping to try the 100 envelope challenge but it seems very daunting. Watching you I think I will give it a try . keep up the good work.

Enjoyed watching this video!! Thank you for sharing with us.

I've been anxiously awaiting this video 😁!

I love every minute of this video!! So satisfying ❤

Wow 🤩 This was so satisfying to watch ♥️

So happy for you on your challenge and being able to move it to a different binder and taking your time doing it as you design. Thanks for sharing.❤

I think the box looks nicer. Just get 2 boxes if you need space.

I just love your content ❤

Loved the long video

I just got a pink one like yours that zips shut, and I LOVE IT.

I switched to that exact binder from Amazon. It makes it much easier! Now I’m going to go back and copy your idea of moving the smaller amounts backwards!

So impressive to see you making great progress with your 100 envelope savings challenge. I’m trying to complete my 100 envelope savings challenge too. Gosh, I hope my channel can be at least half as successful as your channel someday. Did you take a long time or how long did it take you to get this many subscribers? Amazing! 🙋🏻‍♀️💕

I’m investing it. Basically going to hand it over to my stepdad and let him choose what to do with it…he’s like my financial planner and very good at investing. I’ve had my channel for 4 years and I’ve actually seen substantial growth thanks to starting this cash envelope content. One thing that has helped is making shorts! I get a lot of subscribers thanks to that. So thanks so much for watching!

Aww I would have made you a custom binder if you wanted! Great video!

This was so smart, I can’t wait to do the 100 envelope challenge. 💜

Love it ❤

Amazing video, i dont think it is criticism when someone gives their opinion on how it could be done a bit faster . I dont see anything wrong with that . I really enjoyed the video though happy to see how far you are in the challenge im about to start mine . Keep up the great videos

You did a good job

You make this look so easy! Well done :). We don't have dollar bills in Canada so this will be a hard challenge for me to do.

😅 great thing about this challenge is that you can do it different ways. Personally I love the look of it in the envelopes and in the binder…it also is more aesthetic for content like pictures and reels/shorts 🤗

Desire baby your to hard on your self these people are not feeding or financing you, so who cares what they think you should do? You do you, and I'm going to learn from your journey & your mistakes You're doing great. Keep it going 💯

Every $325 (1-25), then take out of the Lower amounts and put into the large amounts.

Once a week! But I get paid every week so that’s why I am able to do that. If I was paid bi weekly I would do it every two weeks just to make it easier on myself.

You should have got the 100 Envelope where you don’t fold your money. Errika aka Black N Blue sells it in her shop. Dripped By E is her shops name, not on Etsy. Just so you know.
