Envelope Budgeting
The concept behind an envelope budgeting system is quite simple. Traditionally, it involves using cash: when you receive your paycheck, you cash it and divide the money into different envelopes, each designated for specific spending categories. Whenever you need to make a purchase for a particular category, you take the necessary amount from the corresponding envelope. Once the money in an envelope is gone, that indicates you've reached your spending limit for that category. At that point, you have two choices: either refrain from making further purchases or borrow from another envelope, which can help reinforce the importance of sticking to your budget.
