Evidently there is a money saving hack which has been trending on social media, in which you label 100 envelopes with numbers, ranging in sequence from 1 to 100. The number on each envelope is the dollar amount which you are supposed to put in the envelope. The idea is that you would place money into an envelope every single day for 100 days, and at the end of those 100 days, you would have $5,050, which is quite impressive. The envelopes are picked at random each day, so the amount you place in the envelope will be a surprise.

However, for people like me who are always cash poor, it would be difficult to gather up actual cash and physically place it into an envelope every day. It also seems rather challenging to try to come up with $100 cash when the 100 envelope is pulled, so a couple of variations include numbering the envelopes from 1 to 50 twice or 1 to 20 five times. You could as another option use an online banking or cash app and add the money that way.

Who’s up for the money saving challenge?
