The envelope system people brag about doesnt work for everyone
I keep seeing folks on here acting like cash envelopes are the only way to save money. I tried it for 3 months back in 2022 and lost track of $40 when I forgot which envelope had the grocery cash. How do you keep from mixing up envelopes when you have multiple stores to hit in one trip?

Oh man, I feel you. The envelope system just turns my wallet into a disorganized paper bomb. I have better luck just using a single cash envelope for whatever category I splurge on most and leaving digital tracking for the rest.

Isn't it funny how we all end up making our own system that works for us, no matter what the experts say? I feel like life is just one big experiment where you try stuff and keep what sticks.
