Money from each envelope is used just for what is was allotted for; when it is gone, it&#8217;s gone! You don&#8217;t overspend and you stay within budget. Those envelopes that don&#8217;t get spent can stay in there to build upon, or can be put into a savings account. Each pay period it starts over again and you replenish your envelope system.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #e06666;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\">It&#8217;s easy, effective, and a great way to be organized.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: small;\">For more on budgeting your finances with the envelope system, check out Dave Ramsey&#8217;s website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daveramsey.com\/home\/\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #e06666;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\">Here is to getting our finances together using the money envelopes!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><i style=\"color: #e06666;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\">What do you think about the money envelopes?
