Stealing Every Ones Idea For Next Month

Since I know I've been spending a bunch of money on food the past few months, I'm going to do the Dave Ramsey, Fighting Foreclosure method of sticking some cash in an envelope and using that exclusively for my food shopping in July.

I figure as I get back on board with my budget-spending plan, I figure this is one way for me to not over spend....

Steal away!!!

I am really, really surprised that this is working for me. I thought it would be easier to spend, but so far it is going really well. (*crossed fingers*) Be sure and let us know how it goes for you. I would like to know, since I am not sure if this is just a fluke month or if this would work full time.

Sometimes our tried and true methods just get a little stale. Hope it works!

I did the cash envelope system when I was unemployed. OK I probably cheated a little, I had no financial sense at the time. So don't be me!
