How to make your very own Wallet Style (super duper cute!) Envelope System It is also custom made, AND REALLY CUTE! But, I’m partial, I made it. There is also a coin envelope, which excites me probably a lot more then it should! I like being able to make exact change, but I do not want a bunch of coins running around in my other envelopes. I can just open up the wallet and I am greeted with a series of envelopes that are quite accessible. This envelope system is “wallet style” meaning all the envelopes are inside a wallet. I found it, and today I’m sharing it with you. So, I began dreaming up with a cash system that would meet my needs- not cost over $20, easy to use, and if possible look cute. I am trying to start using an envelope system to make it EASIER on myself to keep to a cash budget, not HARDER. I do not want to have to wrestle with a bunch of envelopes while at the grocery store. Most of them do not have a good way to store the envelopes. There were also tutorials, but none that really gave me what I needed. Then a plethora of Etsy ones that were cute, but not what I needed and were even MORE out of our price range. Store-bought ones that started at $20 were kind of ugly. There are a lot of different kinds out there. It’s a collection of envelopes to hold different categories of money. That is where the envelope system comes in handy. In order to effectively use a cash budget, you need to have a system of organizing the cash in your budget. Something, I did not even KNOW about a few months ago, but thanks to a post on Stacy Makes Cents, I now do. So, as much as I love the idea behind it, I have not been so hot on doing it. Not exactly an ideal way of keeping a cash budget. I’d make a mental note, and rearrange the money when I got back home. We would have cash with us, but it might be cash from the ‘groceries’, then I had to get something that would be under ‘clothing’. We would have envelopes of cash in our desk, and I’d try and draw money from there when I needed it, but it JUST WAS NOT WORKING! but, I have really struggled with being on top of it. I love using cash instead of cards for our budget.
