I’m trying to figure it all out and then really keep track on April 1. Do you also enter your expenses on your phone?

Yes, we completely agree and love that you utilize this as well! We’ve also used this method in the past to save up for big purchases, such as a car or vacation and it’s worked really well!

Just as you do for your auto-pay items, this is how I manage most of my normal monthly bills with the envelope system. The physical cash and envelopes are best used for me for the discretionary purchases in life. It helps keep me on track with my spending and most importantly, keeps me on budget.
