We've had a few questions about the envelope system, and I cam across this link from MoneySavingMom (http://www.moneysavingmom.com/) and thought I'd pass it along.

Keep Your Spending Tidy With an Envelope System (http://simplemom.net/envelope-system/)

HTH!

Good explanation and I like how she talks about the practical aspects. I hadn't thought to put the category on the receipt immediately but that sure does make sense. I also like the pencil case for envelopes. My paper envelopes are awfully ragged after just a few weeks! Not to mention empty. :giggle:

I had a lady come to my garage sale friday that used a coupon organizer the size of a checkbook to keep her money in rather than envelopes. Each one was marked w/ what the money was for. I thought that was a pretty neat idea. Me I just carry cash and I don't like that b/c it's not marked for what it's for so I can't keep track as well.
