I pretty much use my credit card for everything.

Who has that much extra cash lying around? I hardly use cash for anything.

This is based on the assumption that you earn enough to save and pay your essential expenses.

If you save the money on payday before you start paying for your expenses then you will ensure that you reach your saving goal.

The money envelopes are sealed with a specific sum in each one which makes it more difficult to “borrow” from them. When you save money in a piggy bank or a box that can be opened then it is easy to take out money when you need it.

Money-saving envelopes are a good way to save since you can seal them which makes them less accessible.

The challenge is perfect for those who use the cash envelope system.

If not, there are more money-saving challenges on this site.

Since the fun challenge lasts for relatively long, it is enough time to build a savings habit that will hopefully last after the challenge is over as well.

You probably land up saving more than you would have had you not done the challenge.

Cash stuffing envelopes somehow makes saving more enjoyable.

This envelope money challenge is a fun way to save money.

You can also use less than 100 envelopes. If you are paid weekly then the challenge will continue for 100 weeks (just under 2 years).

Take out one envelope each time you receive a paycheck.

Simply put the money in a sealed piggy bank or savings jar each day or create automatic transfers to a separate savings account.

You can also do a 100-day money challenge without envelopes.

Pull out two envelopes each day and you will have $10,100 at the end of the challenge.

Use 200 envelopes and make two sets of numbers from 1 to 100.

You could also do this variation over one year and draw two envelopes per week.

Decide how much you want to save in 100 days and divide that number by 100.

Pull out two envelopes per week and then you will save $5,050 in one year.

Carry on for 100 weeks and not 100 days and you will save $5,050 in just under two years.

If you like this money challenge but it isn’t totally for you as-is, then you might prefer to try a challenge variation: If you do change the amount, then check the chart for the amount you need to insert into the envelope each day.

You can change the 100-day challenge money amount in the Excel chart above. The total saved will automatically be updated to include the sum of all envelopes closed. Each time you fill an envelope you mark it as complete. The Excel spreadsheet keeps track of how much you have saved.
