The envelope experiment has been pretty interesting. Despite my initial resistance and paranoia about carrying my grocery money around, I'm actually starting to enjoy the change. It feels much more immediate to pay with cash than swiping a little plastic card. And then there's the extra coins left over at the end of the week. I don't know that I'm spending less or more than I would otherwise-- it's just different. I do like knowing exactly how much I have left without having to do math-- I just peek in my envelope and that's that. So we'll see, but I may just continue with this cash thing, especially if I can make it to the end of the month without losing any of it.
