She put the cash she allotted to food for the week into an envelope and limited her spending to that amount. “I could see when I had just 20 bucks left for the week, so it was really helpful,” she says. Popularized through TikTok videos, cash stuffing has brought back the old-fashioned envelope system of budgeting: You divide up your cash into different envelopes, each dedicated to a category of spending or saving. “It’s a tried and true method,” says Gonzalez, who also founded The First Gen Mentor, a money course where she promotes financial literacy. If you’re considering joining the cash-stuffing movement yourself, here are some guideposts: SET ASIDE PLANNING TIME Cash stuffing requires an upfront time ...

Bulega, 23, is hotly tipped to make the step up to WSBK next year on one of Ducati’s two factory V4 Panigale Rs alongside reigning champion Alvaro Bautista. That would leave Rinaldi needing to find an alternative berth to stay on the grid, something that current Ducati title sponsor Aruba.it is thought to be keen on facilitating. Rinaldi first stepped up to the works Ducati team in 2021 as team-mate to Scott Redding, scoring three race wins that year on his way to fifth in the standings, and was kept on for 2022 as Redding departed to make way for Bautista. However, the 2022 season yielded no wins and just a handful of podiums, a trend that has continued in the first half of the current campaign. While Bautista has won every race bar four this year, Rinaldi sits sixth in the standings following last weekend’s Imola round, one place behind satellite Ducati man Axel Bassani. Meanwhile, former Moto2 rider Bulega has been the standout rider this year in ...
