It's been three full weeks (I think) of attempting the envelope system and I have to say, it's actually working. I was NOT a believer and now I am, I've seen the light :)
Just being more money aware alone has saved me a ton, I just know. I have certain amounts set aside, I'm grocery shopping smarter and I have more money in my savings then I have ever had. It's a relief and has eased some serious stress that I was having.
I think by being in control of that area of my life, I am happily getting in control of other areas. Like working out for example, I'm on the a "team" at work and that has brought such positiveness and happiness that it is leaking into other areas, it's fantastic.
Moral of the story...try it. What's the worst thing that could happen?
