My envelopes saved me!
I have recently started the TMMO and using the envelopes. Well I was expecting to get paid today (and get my year-end bonus) and neither happened for a variety of reasons, so I will have to wait until Monday.
But anyway, I have PLENTY left in my "grocery" and "entertainment" envelopes to get me through the weekend, so I'm not even sweating it. A month ago, I would have been out of cash and the bank account would be dry and I'd have to overdraw to get through the weekend. HA!!
It is the simplest idea in the world. Any five-year-old can do it. Somehow, it took me 37 years to figure it out.

It's kinda like how Ramsey says "it seems like you get a raise" when you start "doing the deal" - great, huh?

LOL! Yeah! I was a bit skeptical at first, but I'm on board now!

That's great! It's nice to have that little reserve on hand, just in case you need it.

LOL, it's so darn simple, and you think it can't work. But it does, and you're like Duh!
Congrats!
