Very nice. We have just begun an envelope system as well but it has not gone well. We had a minor disaster with the bank and pulled all of the cash out of our dear little envelopes to cover unexpected charges from the bank. It was a two day nightmare. I was very sad and discouraged at first that all of my hard work at figuring out how much to put into which category had all evaporated. After a week's perspective, however, I realize that the system can still work, I just need to tweak it a bit. Best of luck to you! I'll check back in to see how you're doing.
