Great job, Anthony! I always love reading your posts. You’re writing style keeps me going

I’ve been trying to set up a full-proof system to save up for a new phone, an external hard drive, a tablet and an adventure fund. I think I’ll start using the envelope system for these 4 things. I like getting the little bit of interest in my bank account and the ease of automatic payments. I think the envelope system can be a great pairing here.

The cashless version of this system is called The Bucket System: http://blogs.wsj.com/wallet/2009/06/01/tips-for-the-budget-phobic/. It’s the 21st century version of the envelope system and works better for those of us who prefer not to carry cash around.

Great thoughts! I’m definitely going to try that out. Maybe lumping my groceries/eating out/food stuff together…

And if u live in San Diego, get rid of the gym envelope, go outside and run, buy a few weights to keep in your room, and get an exercise ball to work your glutes, back, and abs…problem solved.

Nice work, Anthony! I used this system myself for many years, with great results. One trick I found – which you may categorize as “cheating” but… – was to lump more than one category together in an envelope. That gave me some flexibility about how I wanted to spend my money during any given month; my financial habits did shift around (e.g., one month I might go shopping a lot but eat out infrequently). Feeling like I had some “choice” in the process helped me to perceive the envelope system as being less strict, enabling me to stick with the system. I guess it comes down to trial & error – you have to work with the envelope system to make it your own!
