Which money wallets are right for you? (And no, they're not all the same!)

You might think: Money folders are just... folders? But trust me, there's more to it than you think! Whether you're just starting to budget, saving for a vacation, or finally want a clear overview of your spending—the right money folder makes everything easier.

You might have seen it before: cash stuffing is the trend when it comes to managing your money better. The idea? You divide your cash into different folders and use it only for the category it's intended for. Sounds simple, and it is!

At Vaye Amsterdam, we offer various types of wallets to help you manage your money wisely. In this blog post, you'll discover which type of wallet is best for you and how to use them.

Why use money folders?

Let's face it: digital banking is convenient, but it also makes money a bit... invisible. Before you know it, you've made that impulsive purchase again, thinking, "Oh, it's only a few euros!"

And that's exactly where money folders come in. With physical folders, you can literally see what you're spending and how much you have left. This makes you much more conscious of your money management.

Another advantage? It feels much more real when you see physical money disappear from a folder instead of a changing number in your bank account. That automatically makes you more frugal. And let's be honest, how much fun is it to watch a savings folder fill up?

Are you someone who often wonders, "Where did all my money go?" Then this is the solution for you!

1. Money folders for categories – perfect for cash stuffing

Want to keep your money super organized ? Then these categorized money folders are just what you need.

With these folders you can divide your money among different expenses, such as:
✔️ Groceries – never spend unnecessarily extra at the supermarket again.
✔️ Outings – so you know how much you can spend without regretting it later.
✔️ Savings goals – your vacation, a new laptop, or an emergency fund.
✔️ Fixed costs – to always pay your bills on time.

👉 Perfect for cash stuffing! This method involves setting aside cash in folders for specific purposes. If your "groceries" folder is empty, you know you can't spend any more. This prevents you from unknowingly withdrawing too much money from your bank account.

Want an overview of your finances and clear budgets by category? Then these money folders are perfect for you!

2. Money folders with savings challenges

Let's face it: saving isn't always easy. But what if I told you you could turn it into a game ?

With the money folders with savings challenges Saving becomes a fun challenge. No more boring "I'll just put money in my savings account" approach, but actually actively working towards your goals!

How does it work?

• Choose a challenge, such as the €5 banknote challenge or the 52-week savings challenge .
• Each time, put a fixed amount of money into the folder according to the rules of the challenge.
• Enjoy watching your savings grow!

Whether you're saving for a vacation, a new phone, or a financial buffer, these savings challenges will help you stay motivated.

Bonus: it's a great feeling when you open your folder after a few months and see how much you've already saved!

3. Money wallets for storing receipts – never lose one again!
