I have never been able to make the envelope system work, but this is very interesting. I might give it a try on a smaller level free product coupons’s last blog post..10 Indoor Tanning Tips For Beginners

There is another personal finance program out there that is very successful and which is based upon the envelope method. It is called Budget. I would highly recommend that you check it out at http://www.snowmintcs.com. I use this program now instead of Quicken and find it works much better for me.

My husband introduced me to the envelope method 30 years ago. We are still using it. It works, if you have the discipline to leave the money in the specified envelope until you need it. Sometimes that is for one whole year. For a time we didn't use the envelope method and I lost track of the money and never had it when those yearly, or bi-annual bills came. Thank you, Lynnae for posting this sort of blog. I wish all young people got this sort of information as they start out in life on their own.

The thing is…using cash actually ends up in your favor as you will spend less. It’s much harder to hand over the cash than to swipe a card. I know before I would add that coke for myself and snack for the ankle biter and not think anything of it…but on our cash system I won’t. It’s some mental Jedi trick I think! But supposedly there are stats to back this up – I don’t have them.
