What it does

Learn how the envelope budget system works. Personal & household budget software based on the envelope budgeting method. Available on Web, Android & iPhone.

The cash for each month’s expenses is taken out and divided into envelopes for each budget category. Like groceries, eating out, debt payoff , and kids. Along the way, you take money out of an envelope to spend. For each category, spend out of the designated envelope — and only that envelope! Stop once you’ve emptied the envelope — or before if you’re really disciplined. Rather than figuring out that you overspent after the fact , you plan your spending beforehand and only spend what you have. The problem is, carrying around a lot of cash in this age of debit cards and credit cards isn’t really convenient orfrom goodbudget.com
