    Default I got a new wallet and...

    my new envelope system! I love it. There are lots of slots for membership cards and my debit card. There are lots of sections for my envelope monies. The change pocket on the side has an accordion fold on one side so I can get my fingers in the pocket.

    The only thing I don't like is the tiny embossed lettering that gives the category for the section. Too small, Too dark... really not functional for my aging eyes, so I put large labels over top on each section.

    Deluxe Envelope System

    My first DR system was the starter and though it lasted over a year... I needed tape to hold the paper envelopes together.

    I'm so thrilled!!! I can't wait to run errands today to put it to functional use. And my old system will now be used for the envelopes that I don't carry with me... (hair cuts, gaming, exercise class, etc).

    Christmas comes early in our house - and we get weird gifts...
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    Apparently, I buy weird Christmas gifts too because I ordered DR's Generation Change for my teen.


    How much we enjoy what we have is more important than how much we have. Life is full of people who have more than they know what to do with, but cannot be content. It is the capacity to enjoy life that brings contentment.---Unknown

    Are the envelopes made out of something other than paper? I had the starter system that came with our FPU kits and the envelopes that were most heavily used (gas, grocery) tore within days. It would be great to have a durable system.

    Yes, the deluxe system that we got has leather pockets.
