52-Week SAVINGS Challenge and $1 Challenge UPDATE l 6 MONTHS DONE
Hi y'all! Today I'll be counting out the money I've saved with the 52-week and $1 SAVINGS challenges. We're about halfway through the year, which is CRAZY to think. It really has flown by.
Hope y'all enjoy! Much love, Alex. :)
MINI BANK SAFE ALTERNATIVES: (Mine is from 5 Below. They don't sell them online, but check your nearest store!)
Amazon alternative - www.amazon.com/Mini-Combinati...
Another Amazon option - www.amazon.com/Mini-Lockers-M...
PEN USED:
12 pack on Amazon - www.amazon.com/0-35mm-Extra-F...
JOURNAL USED: (I bought mine at TJMaxx. They sell the size I have at TJMaxx for sure, but online they only sell the smaller size with spirals. Check your local TJMaxx for the large one! They're a lot cheaper there also! Here's the brand though.)

It’s because the powers that be don’t want the masses to be in the know. It’s in the interest of the one percent to keep the masses ignorant...More money for them!

If you have a hair straightener and have the time it would be SOOOO satisfying to straighten all your cash and make a video from it (it can be like a relaxing crinkly asmr video without voiceover or any talking). Ive straightened my money before like that and they look so nice

I think as an adult it’s ok to want plastic surgery on a reasonable level. Self esteem is important and it’s ok to contribute to positive self esteem once in awhile! By the way you have mad cash counting skills! Lol I could never be a teller at a bank. I’m terrible at counting money especially counting back money!
I'd suggest if some of it's just purely for savings - long term, buy some silver bullion, even if just 5-10% or your savings, start with 1 oz coin. Precious metals hold their value over time a lot better than cash or cash sitting in the bank

And also if one more person asks about your nose job I may go insane on them lol! Peeps mind your business! Keep doing you and being real! You’re so well respected in the planner community with you being so authentic

Wow!! You're loaded in money!! Loved watching!! Thanks for sharing!!
I love your videos I Know you wonnt be able to post as much because you have your baby now and when you do post can you show us a day in the life like what you do when you film and If you’re comfortable with showing us your baby can you love you bye🌊❤️
Nice video mam. God bless you and your family members .
Investing in stock market should have been a sure option. Recommendation is not a problem.
I love your pink safe I’m have to visit 5 below to see if they still have them
Omg I’m the same way with my nails if I paint them myself I’ll chip them off . Baby Jericho sounds so cute ❤️🥺

I really enjoy watching your videos! I was wondering why you use cash enveloppes instead of just a banking account? No judgment at all, i'm just trying to understand is all 😊
@budgiebug8097
4 жыл бұрын
Thank you! 😊 The reason I personally prefer cash over debit is because I have a very impulsive brain. It’s easier for me to carry the cash and run out of money and just stop spending. With a debit card, I will transfer from my savings if I run out of money, which I have done plenty of times before I started the cash envelope method. I have drained my savings account more times than I can count over the years. It’s really just preference. I know some people would probably have enough self control to track spending with a card and be very successful. Unfortunately, I don’t. ☹️ I do use my debit card for bills though! Those all stay in my account and get deducted as they’re due. I hope that made sense!

CASH ENVELOPES ARE THE BEST BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY SEE THE MONEY COME & GO. YOU TEND TO SPEND LESS THAN YOU WOULD WITH A DEBIT CARD. GREAT JOB YOUNG LADY!

Hey! I want to share that I live in Pakistan, where children don't work until they are graduated. All the expenses are paid by their parents and even that they don't allow their children to work , so that they can focus more on their studies. In this situation, students face financial problem because they get a fixed amount of money monthly, that's just for their transport, food and stationery stuff. They don't have extra money to spend on every weekend outings and parties etc. I want to buy iPhone but I don't have extra money to save up for phone. If you have any tips or tricks please share.
Hey I am new to your channel thank you for sharing with us❤❤❤❤❤

I have a sort of question that kinda relates. So I am 17 and I’m going to be a senior and I have a pretty good part time job so I have been able to save. I have quite a bit in my checking and I only spend from that and I always try and put a little in my checking I have almost 1k. So I have decided to save 10k for college weather that be a car or for school (preferably a car since I would most likely have to drive a lot since I live in a rural area) and I am also saving about 1k for a MacBook Air which is the computer I want to use which I may or may not get right away. Would you think this is enough? I have about 5k already and I would like to save both of those amounts by the end of senior year.

Even though I like the big bucks like the $20, $50, and $100? I still have respect for the low bucks like the $1, $5, and $10.
DAAAAANG DATS THICK
So you’re saying no more going to the club with all these ones 👍🏻
Omg my sis has the same safe she stores stickers and money in ther
Beautiful

Last thing cash rules.
ITS MUCH EASIER TO ELECTRONICALLY DEPOSIT INTO AN ACCOUNT. I JUST CREATED A NEW ACCOUNT SOLELY FOR FINANCIAL CHALLENGES AND IS CURRENTLY ON WEEK #14. AT LEAST I DON’T HAVE TO MAKE A TRIP TO THE BANK.
Nice💕💕💕👍💕💕💕

You said the smell of money smells good and my mind went to an artificial I read. It has been scientifically proven that just touching cash or change makes you feel relaxed and when you have to buy something with that cash and change, you feel really sad. It’s pretty interesting.
