Comments on: Setting up a cash system- Part 2 http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2007/11/setting-up-a-cash-system-part-2.html Naturally inspired living for the Christian homemaker Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:59:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Ebonyhttp://www.keeperofthehome.org/2007/11/setting-up-a-cash-system-part-2.html/comment-page-1#comment-75413 Ebony Sun, 01 Jan 2012 12:41:31 +0000 http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2007/11/setting-up-a-cash-system-part-2.html#comment-75413 I happened upon your page after a friend recommended a few essential vitamins and oils for me and my family. I'm glad she did because after reading your cash system and grocery list I've been blessed. As a divorced mother of 3 girls it's been a struggle over the years. Yet God's grace and provision has kept us. While, my girls are older now 18,17&14 and the eldest just started college this fall(2,000) miles from home my prayers are a bit different now.For example, yesterday I started looking at my income, expense and realized I need to change this quickly, since the middle girl goes to college next. So reading your blog on how your family manages your budget was a Godsend. Thank you so much for sharing and being so detailed. I could really see the process your family uses.

Budgeting was a nightmare--never knew if we were going to make $40 or $200 on any given night. We followed your "worst case scenario" plan and made a budget based on the minimum we could hope to make over a month's time and put all the extra towards debt (once we were debt free it went to savings.)

We use cash for groceries and entertainment, check card for gas, and medical bills (for better record keeping) I agree that those envelops are way over priced. I use a small expandable file (like a coupon file) We use a "hybrid" cash system.

But then we had to use every last bit of it to move, and sales have been so bad that if we took out 10% we wouldn't be able to pay the rent. Hopefully the economy will start to turn around.
