So from what I've seen people will physically save up for maybe sinking funds or their emergency fund and once they get to their goal point they will re-deposit it into the bank. I personally am too lazy to do this so that is why I wouldn't get into physical cash stuffings but I can understand why people do it. Some people need something tactile and in person to really get where their money is going and what they're doing with it.

I recently started watching people do cash stuffings on YouTube (including her! I've seen some of her videos). I don't do it personally because I don't really like carrying physical cash. I use YNAB which is basically a virtual cash envelope system. But with that said I think it's fun watching how people set up their cash binders, how they organize their money, etc. So I basically just watch them for inspiration.

Speaking of myself personally I am not really much of an Excel budgeting kind of person, I've tried it but I just have hard time staying motivated to use it. Admittedly I find having these aesthetically pleasing cash envelopes/binders and these elaborate set-ups a little extra but it helps people budget and get their finances together. Different things work for different people, so why not?
