💵 Is cash making a comeback?

On this episode of Cash and Coffee, hosts Quinn Stahr and Emily Zimmerman explore the surprising return of cash stuffing, an old-school budgeting method that is gaining new attention among younger consumers on social media.

From budgeting binders and labeled envelopes to savings challenges and spending limits, cash stuffing is changing the way some people think about their money.

Quinn and Emily discuss:

💰 How cash stuffing works
📱 Why the trend is gaining attention on TikTok
🧠 How physical cash can change spending behavior
☕ How small purchases like coffee and fast food can add up
📊 How reviewing your spending can reveal unexpected habits
💳 The difference between cash and convenient digital payments
📋 Whether the envelope method could help you stick to a budget
