I recently started the envelope system for tracking my budget. Not because I had major budget concerns - actually quite the contrary. I simply wanted to tighten my belt just a little more in order to save for some big, fun things coming up in my life.
So far, I have learned two things:
(1) It is helpful to have the envelopes with you when purchases are being made and
(2) If you are going to leave the envelopes at home, do not leave them on the same counter as your homemade lunch
---O---O---O---O---
Do you remember when I told you how talented my husband is?
Well, this weekend he decided he wanted to make us a headboard. Ya know, 'cause he has all that extra time on his hands...
Less than $50 later, we have a brand new (faux-leather) headboard...
(Don't mind the stripped-down bed. Everything is basically packed for the move.)
---O---O---O---O---
Finally, for the What's Your Song Link-up...
Enjoy!

Loving the headboard!!!!
And we try to use the envelope system...those are some great lessons to learn...I've been there too :)

I have an excel budget that I use for bills. In it you auto save money. I am working on instructions but it's simple and easy to use. You can add in whatever bills you want to, but it's up to you to track. You give yourself an estimate, then input actual. The difference you put in savings :)
