Digital envelope method: cash stuffing without the envelopes

Cash stuffing works because limits are visible. Digital envelope budgeting brings the same clarity to cards and online spending.

Three steps every month

1. Plan: assign income to envelopes before spending.
2. Record: log purchases against categories.
3. Repeat: carry balances forward; adjust next check.

Why paycheck timing matters

The digital envelope method fails when your app assumes income arrives evenly. Pair envelopes with paycheck-month planning so each deposit funds the right categories and bills.

Getting started
