The “cash stuffing” trend popularized on TikTok instils discipline in budgeting, but experts warn against missing out on potential earnings and lacking banking protections.

Key Takeaways

  • Popularized on TikTok, cash stuffing involves dividing expenses into envelopes, promoting budget discipline and careful spending. 

  • Keeping cash at home forgoes banking protections and may lead to a vulnerability against theft.

  • By not utilizing high-yield savings accounts, individuals miss opportunities to earn significant interest, up to 5%.

  • Treasury bills, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts offer competitive options, albeit with tying up savings for a certain period.

  • Experts recommend seeking advice from credible sources like the National Foundation for Credit Counseling or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, cautioning against relying solely on social media platforms for financial guidance.

We know we’ve already switched gears into Mariah Carey season *ahem we meant, holiday season. BUT, New York City won Halloween.

Speaking of holiday season, the Queen of Christmas has defrosted!

Fun fact: Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is an original song (most people think it’s a cover) and the popular holiday tune shoots back onto the charts every year earning Ms. Carey a cool $2 million annually! 🤯
