When I finally launched my cash envelope line in my Etsy store a few weeks ago, I had a lot of great feedback. One of the questions I was routinely asked was how to make a cash envelope.
Why Choose Cash Envelopes?
I love cash envelopes because they help keep me on budget. The cash envelope budget is easy to follow. It’s simply you putting the amount of money you have in a certain budget category in an envelope. Once you have your money separated into each individual envelope, you’ll know how much you have to spend. Once it’s gone, it’s gone!
Because the money is gone, I can’t spend anymore. It’s discouraged to borrow money from envelopes because it makes it harder to tell where you come under in a category. Knowing where your spending is in each individual category helps you make your budget for next time, so you can adjust it as you go.
I Love To Make It A Game
In this video on my channel, you’ll find out that I love to make using my cash envelopes into a game. How? I try to have extra cash in each category on purpose so that I can keep it and put it towards another goal I have coming up. I call it “snowflaking,” much like you would snowflake any extra money you had towards debt. Life is too short to put everything towards debt. That’s my way of putting money aside for fun with that in mind. Cash envelopes are definitely for me!
If you’re having a hard time staying on budget, consider using the cash envelope method. This method, along with money manifestation really helped me go from making over $900 per month to making at my highest, five figures. I’ve also managed my cash mindset better by using the envelope system, so I recommend it.
Let me know if you have any questions about how to make cash envelopes in the comments, or want to see more videos like this one.

My Aunt used this system. She just used an extra envelope. Much easier
and less time consuming. So this is nothing new.

I recently stumbled upon a video about the benefits of using cash envelopes for budgeting, and I have to say, I’m intrigued! The idea is simple: you put your allotted budget for each category into a separate envelope, and once the money is gone, you can’t spend any more. It’s a great way to keep yourself accountable and on track with your budget.
But what I really love about this method is how it can be turned into a game. The video’s creator talks about intentionally putting a little extra money in each envelope, with the goal of “snowflaking” it towards a fun purchase or experience. It’s a great way to motivate yourself to stick to your budget and to have a little extra fun along the way.
And let’s not forget the financial benefits of managing your money well, those who are skilled at managing their finances tend to accumulate more wealth. And for those who deal with a lot of cash on a regular basis, the Ribao Currency Counter is the perfect solution for quickly and accurately counting large amounts of cash.
