At least I think it's called sinking funds. Anyway, we're at the point I want to make saving categories. What are some of the things you have separate "accounts"/"envelopes" for? Here's what I know we need. Vehicle New To Us Vehicle Repair Household Repair Mini Emergency Fund Still working...

Could you help me list any and all budget categories you can think of. So far I have, Rent Cell Life ins Car/tenant ins Education fund Bank fee Car repair Christmas Gifts Out Clothes Weekend Groceries Saving Dd activities Gas What am I missing.

Just curious how other people who use an envelope system or other cash-only system handle it when you have an expense in one of your cash categories that you can't pay for with cash. I had to write a check that I hadn't anticipated this week, for example, when the recipient wouldn't take cash...

So after reading 'My4littlebuffaloes' thread about unexepected expenses, it got me to thinking about what other people's budget categories consist of. I thought it would be a good learning tool for all of us, if everyone will list their categories. You don't have to list your amount, but how...

I know what ones we have, but curious as to what ones YOU have? I'm thinking of making some fabric envelopes for my family members that are going through FPU right now, and I'm wondering what categories most people use.

I didn't know if this should go in off topic or frugality, so I went with off topic. DH and I are celebrating our 11th anniversary on 11/10. I want to do a celebration of some sort, but we are really trying to cut our budget way back. So I really don't want to spend much if any to celebrate...

Some new forums have been requested. We now have a single moms and divorce forum, a photography forum, and a drawing/painting forum. Forums here on FV are on a "use it or lose it basis". If you have an interest in these topics, please share discussions. Empty forums aren't fun. I always want...

What category titles do you use for sorting coupons. I started making mine up but I have way too many. I also have weird items that don't fit in. Like cereal, buy this/get that, pickles, syrup, etc. Any suggestions?
