From TikTok to Real-Life Success Stories
One of the challenge’s biggest success stories is Jasmine Taylor, the creator behind Baddies & Budgets, who’s completed the challenge three times and saved over $15,000 in total.
Her savings didn’t just sit around, either. She used them to pay off student loans, max out her Roth IRA, and put money toward a home. It’s proof that small, consistent habits — even the “cute” ones — can lead to major financial wins.
And she’s not alone. TikTok is full of creators who’ve turned this challenge into a ritual: some do it with friends, some with partners, others with their kids as a way to teach financial responsibility.
There’s also a big creative twist. People decorate their envelopes with stickers, glitter, or aesthetic binders. Some use mini cash trackers or transparent sleeves so they can see their progress. It’s savings… but make it fashion.
