Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]What is going on, guys? Welcome or welcome back to my channel. As you saw in the title for today's video, we're going to be cash stuffing our $5 saving challenge money. If you guys aren't familiar with what the $5 saving challenge is, it's basically this challenge. Each icon is $5 and I just stuffed it each time I got paid and the total is $300. So, now we have $300 to cash stuff into our categories. If you guys are new here, I'm a 20-year-old cash stuffer and budgeter working a full-time job while also a full-time college student in college. I'm currently studying finance with the minor in international business. And I just finished my second year in college.

[00:00:43]Like I said, today we're going to be cash stuffing this money into our three categories. Our bills binder, our high priority binder, and also our saving challenges. Let's get on to the cash.

[00:00:56]>> All right, guys. We are back to our regular setup. Here we have our money and our binders. We're actually going to start off by counting this money. I also do have to erase these because I am going to be doing this challenge again, but I don't have alcohol right now.

[00:01:15]So, we're going to be doing that later.

[00:01:17]But, we're going to count this money first.

[00:01:20]So over here we have 20 40 60 81 20 40 60 82 20 40 60 80. So 280 in fives we have five 10 $10 in fives and in ones we have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.

[00:01:52]$10 in ones which is the correct amount.

[00:01:58]So, 300's in total, which is correct.

[00:02:02]Also, guys, sorry for the glare. Um, it is really gloomy and just not nice outside today. So, I'm having to use my two ring lights. So, there might be a glare on like my hands moving like a shadow. So, just ignore that.

[00:02:21]Just stay focused on the money.

[00:02:24]But we are going to start off with our bills binder.

[00:02:28]And from our bills binder, we're actually only going to be cash stuffing our car insurance, which is going to be getting $20.

[00:02:42]So now our car insurance has $25 and our car insurance is 130 every month.

[00:02:51]And I just had to pay it off today.

[00:02:54]So, we're actually kind of ahead, but only car insurance will be getting my money today.

[00:03:06]All right, next on we're going to move on to my high priority binder, which is this black binder. This black binder, guys, has always been my high priority binder.

[00:03:17]Literally since I was 16 years old, I haven't switched my binders. All my binders have been the same. All the stickers, everything been the same since I started cash stuffing. Someone actually pointed that out the other day in a video and I was like, "Wow, you guys really like pay attention."

[00:03:36]But we're going to do our black binder next, which first is our emergency fund, which is going to be getting $20.

[00:03:50]All right. Now, our emergency fund has $100 in my high yield savings account.

[00:03:56]So, 150, 200, 220, 40, 60, 80, 300, 20, 40, 60, 80, 85, 90, 95, and 400. Wow.

[00:04:10]$400 in our emergency fund.

[00:04:17]All right.

[00:04:19]Next up is my college fund which is going to be getting $40 20 and 40.

[00:06:33]All right, next up is our Roth RA, which is going to be getting $10.

[00:06:44]Just going to do the two fives because it's just easier that way.
