I also will keep an account of my expenditures. I'm already pretty compulsive about saving receipts -- I just never do anything with them!

Good luck to you! October will be my 1st month on a budget in a gazillion years. I also will keep an account of my expenditures. I’m already pretty compulsive about saving receipts — I just never do anything with them!

I confess the envelope system scares me because I don’t know if I have the willpower to stay within the amount in the envelope. But I guess it’s really just one kind of budgeting system.

Good luck to you!
