This was what was necessary to get my budget back on track...pretty envelopes! Andy and I took Dave Ramsey last spring and really, really enjoyed his principles. We have been doing well, but could be doing better. It's kind of like dieting, you know how to eat healthy, you just need a good kick in the rear! That's how this course was, plus cementing a very counter-cultural principle; no credit cards, debt, etc. Anyways, I have always made envelopes for saving money. In the past I've had Christmas envelopes, baby fund envelopes and vacation envelopes. It just feels fun to put your money into something pretty :) So, let me introduce you to my new envelopes!
We'll go clockwise from the top left :)
- Christmas Envelope (I'm a little behind filling it!)
- Gas Envelope (Because if you have no gas you have to ride your bike!)
- Grocery Envelope (The apples are shiny!)
- Life Insurance Envelope (It's an annual premium that we save monthly for) It's all lovey dovey paper to remind ourselves that we love each other enough to make sure each other is taken care of if something happens.
- Prescriptions Envelopes (Allergy and asthma medicine so I have a flower one)
- Liscensing (That $100 for tabs every year always sneaks up on me!)
Of course it's important that they're pretty on the inside too! I know it's pretty silly to post my envelopes but they really make me happy :)

That is actually very cute:). I like your organization. Now how much did those envelope cost? And where is the envelope that the envelope money goes in?
