If you haven’t heard of the envelope budgeting system, you’ve got to try it. You put cash in envelopes for expenses that tend to get a little out of hand, and once the cash is gone, that’s it!

Are you into bullet journaling? If so, that may be the perfect place to keep track of your finances. Check out this bullet journal bill tracker for inspiration.
