If there’s one thing nursing students are familiar with, besides early mornings and endless exams, it’s a tight budget. Between juggling school, part-time jobs, and sky-high stress levels, managing your money can feel like one more thing on an already overflowing to-do list. In this episode, I’m introducing you to a simple, hands-on budgeting method that’s been trending on social media for good reason: cash stuffing, also known as the envelope system. Whether you're trying to make your student loan stretch, pay the rent, or just want to avoid those “how did I spend that much?” moments, this method can help you take control of your finances in a way that’s visual, satisfying, and even kind of fun! I’ll walk you through: Exactly what cash stuffing is and how it works A step-by-step guide to setting up your own budget, even with a variable income How to create “sinking funds” for things like NCLEX fees or yearly expenses Tips for using this system alongside online purchases (because yes, Amazon still happens) How cash stuffing helps reduce stress and curb impulse spending Whether you're a student looking for a smarter way to budget or a nurse wanting to be more intentional with your spending, this episode will help you ditch money anxiety and feel more in control of every dollar. 👉 Ready to make your money work for you?
