redoing the envelopes!

January 4th, 2009 at 06:40 pm

I have decided to check out my envelopes today. I have been doing my budget using the envelope system for over 40 years and it always works for me. Mostly because I never borrow from any of the envelopes. Of course, sometimes extra cash builds up in these envelopes. I am going to add this to my challenge money.
Right now, I have an extra $80 in my water and garbage envelope.

Prev. total $336.00
today 80.00
new total $416.00

    I was thinking about using the envelopes but never got around to it

    You must have willpower of steel! I know I wouldn't be able to resist borrowing from the envelopes!

    I was just curious about the $20 challenge. Do you actually physically move cash around or is this virtual money? When I look at your figures for the end of 2008 I'm astonished! If that's actual cash, you go girl! If that's virtual money, great job too! This sounds very interesting.
