I'm not going to do a literal envelope system because I'm a little too skittish about losing my envelopes full of cash... but I'm going to be very strict with myself about marking every amount spent under the appropriate "envelope" I have on my spreadsheet at the end of the day. Things gotta change.<br /><br />We still really need to have us a coffee and catch up sometime soon.

So I just scrapped it. Maybe I'll get motivated again but I always feel like my to-do is so long, I dont want to stress myself out.<br /><br />That said - I like hearing about everyone elses list so keep it coming.mrslimestonehttp://www.brooklynlimestone.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349208638436838307.post-36748667223454099702011-09-02T09:29:57.569-05:002011-09-02T09:29:57.569-05:00@shannon thanks lovely. in college i was super ded...@shannon thanks lovely. in college i was super dedicated w/ a spreadsheet that auto-filled etc. i created a little sheet this go 'round not nearly as intense. but i'll let you know! xo.<br /><br />@amberleigh and @jen - awesome thanks for the suggestions. i'll have to pick up all 3.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13406942188344860183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349208638436838307.post-40747305910961811322011-09-02T09:27:05.329-05:002011-09-02T09:27:05.329-05:00ok I LOVE the envelope tutorial!!!! you always ha...ok I LOVE the envelope tutorial!!!! you always have the greatest links!<br /><br />also, I read both of those books last year, pretty much in the same kind of quest - I want to catch up on all the classic literature no one ever made me read!!!!

I haven't set a deadline for myself, but I hope to read them all someday.<br /><br />My favorites so far have been "Rebecca", which is a bit of a spooky murder mystery, and "On the Road" because I love stories about road trips. <br /><br />Since a lot of these have been made into movies, I like to watch the movies after too. Rebecca is an old black and white film that really does the book justice and a new adaption of On the Road is coming out this year. :)AmberLeighnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349208638436838307.post-44124148749582678042011-09-01T18:48:09.088-05:002011-09-01T18:48:09.088-05:00So I've actually had a super detailed budget f...So I've actually had a super detailed budget for about 3 years now. (I'm an early bloomer). But I don't like having cash on me, so I just keep track of everything in an excel spreadsheet. I usually only update it once a week and that's enough for me. I try to use my debit card whenever possible to make it easier to track everything (with online banking), so this might not be the way to go if you like cash. But if the envelope system gets old, I recommend this approach. Am happy to share the template I made if you're ever curious!shannonrhallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463625529263759343noreply@blogger.com
