...#80....

Use cash envelope system for 1 month! 

We have successfully done this... and are almost finished with our 3rd.  I was hoping that this would help us stick to certain budgets (i.e. groceries, dining out, "entertainment", and clothing), which I think it has for the most part.  I also wanted this to help us figure out if my budgeting for those items is actually realistic.

I've figured out that my budget was lacking a couping bills... hmm... go figure...

I think we will eventually get rid of the cash system, but for now it's helpful!
