Expense Envelopes

If you pay a lot of your bills with cash, you may want to consider using Expense Envelopes.

You can use the Making Every Dollar Count expense envelopes by clicking here to print sheets of expense categories. Select those expense categories that you will use, cut them apart, and paste them on an envelope. Or you can just use blank envelopes and write one expense category on each envelope.

Here are some expense categories you may want to make up envelopes for:

  • Rent
  • Telephone
  • Groceries
  • Insurance
  • Credit card payments
  • Child care
  • Utilities
  • Cable
  • Food eaten out
  • Car payments
  • Other loans
  • Savings

You may have other expenses. Make an envelope up for these expenses too.
