We decide how much we can afford to spend, and then we don\u2019t spend more than that. So, why are so many people in debt?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though it sounds easy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/articles\/savings-center\/budgeting-to-save\">creating and using a budget<\/a> is hard.

More importantly, cash envelope users are forced to look at their budget every time they make a purchase. This forms what psychologists call a behavioral \u201ctrigger\u201d that reinforces the habit of checking one\u2019s budget before making a purchase.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other powerful quality of the cash envelope system is that it is updated instantly \u2014 after a purchase, the envelope automatically shrinks. The budgeter doesn\u2019t need to update and check a document in order to see how much cash they have left; they can just look in their envelope. When the envelope is empty, the budget is spent.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"how_to\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a id=\"how_to\">How to Organize Your Budget in 5 Simple Steps with Cash Envelopes<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/budgeting-sheets-mockup.jpg\" alt=\"Budget template laid out beside notebook and laptop\" class=\"wp-image-357511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/budgeting-sheets-mockup.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/budgeting-sheets-mockup-450x270.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/budgeting-sheets-mockup-600x360.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/budgeting-sheets-mockup-900x540.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/budgeting-sheets-mockup-1400x840.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/budgeting-sheets-mockup-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/budgeting-sheets-mockup-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to setting up your cash envelope system is creating your budget. You can do this using your own budgeting method or you can download our free budget template that\u2019s designed for cash envelopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Calculate your after-tax income. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the maximum you can spend in a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Write down your fixed expenses.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixed expenses are the things you pay the same amount for every month, like rent. Your fixed expenses don\u2019t need a cash envelope since it\u2019s the same each month and a place where you\u2019re not likely to overspend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Set aside your savings.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Professionals recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyunder30.com\/percentage-of-income-should-you-save-every-month\">saving about 20 percent<\/a> of your income, if you\u2019re able.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Choose your cash envelope categories.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make a list of other expenses like groceries, clothes, personal care, etc., and decide how much you want to spend in each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Create your cash envelopes.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve set your budget and chosen your cash envelope categories, it\u2019s time to create the envelopes you\u2019ll use. With these templates, all you need to do is print, fold and tape or glue along the tabs.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can carry the envelopes on their own or get creative with your accessories. Many people carry their envelopes in expandable coupon organizers, while others opt for specially-made wallets with built-in envelopes that are designed for use with this system.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/general-budget-template-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Monthly Budget Template (opens in a new tab)\">Monthly Budget Template<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/general-budget-envelope-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Cash Envelope Printable (General)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/food-budget-envelope-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Food\/Grocery Envelope Printable<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/entertainment-budget-envelope-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Entertainment Envelope Printable (opens in a new tab)\">Entertainment Envelope Printable<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"kids\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a id=\"kids\">Cash Envelopes for Kids<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/kids-budget-sheet-envelope-mockup.jpg\" alt=\"Kids-themed budget template and cash envelope printable laid out on a table\" class=\"wp-image-357477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/kids-budget-sheet-envelope-mockup.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/kids-budget-sheet-envelope-mockup-450x270.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/kids-budget-sheet-envelope-mockup-600x360.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/kids-budget-sheet-envelope-mockup-900x540.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/kids-budget-sheet-envelope-mockup-1400x840.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/kids-budget-sheet-envelope-mockup-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/kids-budget-sheet-envelope-mockup-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though younger children don\u2019t have any real expenses, it\u2019s never too early to ingrain them with good saving habits.
