Cash Envelopes

    This paycheck we took out cash for our envelopes, this seems to be working much better in the restaurant area of our budget, as we haven't gone over it yet, but we are only a week in so lets hope!


    I have all our bills paid thru the end of the month except the mortgage which will be taken out with the next paycheck. We have cash in our envelopes for gas for both cars that should last until the end of the month and possibly into next month.  We don't have any trips/hikes planned as the weather is turning rainy and I'm back to working every other weekend, and well as my luck has it the nice weekends are the ones I seem to be working!


    We need to go to the bank and talk about refinancing our home as we'd like to rent it out if/when we move and I'd like to make the payments as low as possible before that happens, if not we'll attempt to sell it and the market for homes just is not selling here right now.


    I still have 13 days of vacation planned next month and at this moment it looks like we will be having a staycation for most of it, but it depends on the weather, we'd like to take a small weekend trip someplace, I'll need to look at groupon/living social to see if they have anything that looks good.
