Does anyone have an Envelope for healthcare costs and how much is in it? I have a co-pay of $25 office and $100 emergency. I've been thinking of starting an "envelope," which actually would be an ING direct savings account for this. It seems like the more I think about it the more I need...

While I am not a big spender by all means I still somehow manage to run our CC bill up a little higher than I like by the end of the month. (I would like to see a -0- in the new purchases column- lol). We do pay our balance in full each month and others seeing the numbers would probably...

I am starting my envelope system with this payday and was wondering....do you stock your envelopes monthly or weekly? I get paid weekly and am leaning towards funding the envelopes weekly, but wasn't sure what works best for everyone else.

I saw that there is a sale on some of Dave Ramsey's products at his webstie with something like $4.95 shipping. Does anyone know if there is something similar out there for a lower price? Or have you just created your own system? Thanks!

DH and I are both self-employed and our income varies from $0!! to $10k(at which point lots of bills are piled up) per month(anywhere from 30k-50k per year). A few months ago I saved 1k e-fund and paid off 2 cc bills totaling another 1k and then had to use all that money in the e-fund to pay...

Really want to make this work, we just started the DR baby steps and already funded our EF within approx 2 weeks by selling some stuff on craigslist. Having just started this in Feb, we have divided out our bills into 12 months and are saving the according amount per month. Say car insurance is...

What all is included in the grocery envelope? I have somehow talked my wife into a set budget per month at the grocery store but I want to make sure it has enough. Do you include everything you buy such as TP, cleaning supplies, HBA's etc etc etc.

Has anyone made the envelope system for food, as in an envelope for dairy, meat, produce, beauty products, etc....I was thinking of allocating a certain amount for each one, I do a list of what I need but to better understand what I spend and what I may need to alter I thought this would be a...

I'm wondering what the consensus is for any overages on envelope items. Let's say you earmark $50 a month for car repairs. At the end of the month, you have $40 left over. Is that kept in the envelope along with next month's $50 addition or do people immediately take that money and apply it...

I can't bring myself to do the envelope system, it just makes me so nervous having so much cash on hand, and I don't have easy access to an ATM where I live now. So I started doing a reverse envelope system of sorts. For example, I have an envelope with "groceries" and the amount $200 written...

I was reading a few other posts where people mentioned not having the money to spend when needed on certain usual things in life. I do the envelope method (and the money in the closet and money in the vase methods also!---LOL) I have envelopes for vacation, chicken feed, hog feed, any special...

The envelopes suck. They just are not working for us. I still want to use cash, but recording it in a notebook was even less convenient. My husband just wants us to use the debit card and record all receipts on a daily basis and generate reports (my techie husband who loves Excel, etc). What...

The envelope system. Probably not going to happen here. We are not going to have that much cash in the house. Yes, I realize it is the best way and will help us achieve our goal faster, but it is probably not going to happen. I need another way. So let me hear your suggestions. thanks Russ
