For years we tried the envelope idea – but when you are on the “run” and stopping at five different places from the food store, to the drug store, get a haircut, etc, it can get out of hand – now with years of grown-up discipline we KNOW out budget for the month – Pay ouselves first (All retirement accounts, savings, vacation funds, etc.) then we have an account that we deposit to every month for property taxes, all insurances, yard care, all subscriptions, and a misc. expense amount (for car repairs, dentist, doctor co-pays, etc) – all this is based on the previous years expenses and I add 10% for the new year. Then the balance is for utilities, food, gas, and whatever. Since you really do have a household spending pattern and only you know what it is for your house – I think you don’t need the envelopes – because if you need envelopes you probably rob peter to pay paul anyhow….
