It is much harder to drop $70 at Target with cash than it is to do it with the debit card or credit card!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cash-envelopes#post-1183859 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:39:44 +0000 looch 1183859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The video is blocked for me at work, but we don't use cash at all...I think I only pay our cleaning lady in cash....oh and the landscaper when he does a job for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cash-envelopes#post-1183858 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:39:41 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1183858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: we get paid twice a month but budget monthly anyway...this was a "5week" month for us (we pay ourselves every friday) and things got pretty tight...we ended up pulling from savings to buy extra groceries because we didnt plan well enough :( but, it isnt a perfect system (or rather, we arent perfect at following it) but it totally helps! I am definitely one who would tgo to target and just throw things in the cart, but when i have to use cash there is a different level of accountability for what we (i) buy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cash-envelopes#post-1183853 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:38:40 +0000 Boheme 1183853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's what we do too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cash-envelopes#post-1183826 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:33:59 +0000 mediagirl 1183826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like this and this is how we do it. It is okay to pull from one to give to another IF you are willing to make the rest of the month work for you. Thankfully I get paid monthly so, it is easy for me to allot all the money needed for the month at the beginning of the month. I love getting to the 30th and seeing how much I have left. It's not so much fun, though when what's left is less than a 5 dollar bill. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-cash-envelopes#post-1183777 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:23:50 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1183777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool article about making the cash system work! This is very similar to what we do and it makes such a huge difference in our home! </p> <p><a href="http://feedly.com/k/1ht9QmQ" rel="nofollow">http://feedly.com/k/1ht9QmQ</a> </p>
