It's amazing how visualizing your budget helps, and I find that the physical act of putting cash back into the envelope after each purchase is a great reminder of the impact on my overall finances. It keeps spending in check and saves me from mindless impulse buying. It's satisfying to see the money grow (visually) too!

there's a satisfying tangibility to this old method! It's incredible how something so simple can make saving so effective and almost fun.

The old school system still works like a charm! We use a modified version of it - with digital 'envelopes' labeled for different expense categories - and it's so satisfying to see the funds grow visually, especially for the kids' allowances and pocket money. It encourages us all to stay on track and we have some friendly competition to see who can save the most!
