This is really interesting, just yesterday I read a something about envelope budgeting and decided I would give it a try and perhaps will work for me. I’ve tried different ways to budget and none really helped me..I guess it’s still the discipline that really matters. But I will surely look into this, who knows if this is the answer I’ve been looking for. Thanks.

Thank you for the great review. We have been looking for an alternative to the cash envelope system (I like spending cash, my wife feels weird carrying cash and she likes to lose cash) so an online version is awesome! –off to go check it out–

Hey, that’s a cool idea. Although I must say I do like the hands on, real life approach to actually having your cash there and readily available. But I guess that is the point, it is all to easy to spend it then.

I do have a mint account. However, it just doesn’t provide us with the budgeting that Mvelopes does. Sure, you can set spending limits in Mint, but it’s just easier for us to use Mvelopes.

Have you used mint.com? We use that (since it’s free), but for the same purpose.
