Could I save more money by cash stuffing...

BABABAM
About this episode

With inflation at the highest it’s been in 45 years, it’s no wonder people are looking for ways to manage their money more effectively. And the trend we’re talking about today has really taken off on Tiktok since the start of the year. The #cashstuffing hashtag had already reached 1 billion views on the platform at the time of recording.

There’s actually nothing new about cash stuffing; in many ways it’s as if we were going back in time a few decades to when bank cards didn’t exist. It consists of allocating a certain amount of money to an expenditure category, like groceries for example.

How does it work then? Does it actually work then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
