Can I Side Hustle My Way to Vegas? | Side Hustle Challenge

side hustle challenge

I did something very out of character recently. I booked a trip to Las Vegas knowing full well I don’t have the funds to pay for it. Not only that but (since I was clearly already having some kind of existential crisis) I decided to extend the trip by another week and pop in to visit my friend Lindsay in LA too.

In for a penny, in for a pound, I suppose!

Now I’d like to point out that I’m usually a regular Scrooge McDuck. I count my pennies, I stick to a strict budget…heck, I share my spending pie charts every month on YouTube! The point is, that booking a big trip like this when I don’t have the money set aside to pay for it is terrifying.

Like…how am I going to pay for this?

How Cash Stuffing Saves Me Money Every Month

A few months ago, the TikTok For You Page really said, “For you, Aimée” when it started bombarding me with cash stuffing videos. I had no idea what I was looking at but I was immediately taken in by the pretty pastel binders, the labels, and the weirdly satisfying way people divided their money into piles with all the notes facing the same way.

Everything in my little OCD brain lit up. 

I needed to be a part of this new world!

So I ordered myself a cash stuffing binder, overhauled my budget, and gleefully jumped into applying this new money-saving technique.

And friends, it’s working!

Low Buy Year Rules 2021

In 2020 I challenged myself to a no buy year. I had no idea what to expect or whether I’d make it out the other side with my sanity still in tact. Good news – I made it! Not only that, but I actually enjoyed it. So this year I’m tweaking things slightly and embarking on a slightly less restrictive low buy year. How does that work? What does that mean? Well, let me share my low buy year rules.

Happy new year y’all! We made it! 2020 was a lot of things (most of which were not so great), but it was also my first ever no buy year. Way back in January I set out some rules for my no spend challenge and embarked on a year without shopping. Today I’m sharing an overview of my 2020 no buy experience including all the highs, lows and satisfying figures.
