Save $5,050 in 100 days — and actually enjoy doing it. The 100 Envelope Challenge is the savings method taking over TikTok, now a beautiful app for your iPhone. Number your envelopes 1 to 100, draw one each day, and stuff in that amount of cash. Fill all 100 and you've saved $5,050 — one small, satisfying step at a time. No bank linking. No account. Just you, your envelopes, and a wall that turns green as your savings grow. 【Saving that feels like a game】 Draw an envelope, flip it open, and watch the confetti fly. Every envelope you stuff turns green on your wall, your progress ring climbs, and your total ticks up — a little hit of motivation every single day. 【Play at your own pace】 Draw a random envelope or pick any one yourself. Save one a day, several at once, or catch up after a busy week. Stuffed a little more or less than the envelope said? Adjust the amount. It's your challenge, your rules. 【Stay motivated to the finish】 Track your current and longest streaks, see your savings curve climb over time, and get a projected finish date based on your real pace. An optional daily reminder keeps your streak alive, and a Home Screen widget keeps your goal in sight. 【More than one way to save】 Beyond the classic 100 Envelope Challenge, take on the 52-Week Challenge, the Penny Challenge, a Double It run, or build a fully custom challenge with your own amounts and length. 【Pay once.
