We do notice the cash method helps when we use it. The problem is we tend to switch back and forth. Thanks for the encouragement!

For one reason, I seem to buy more in the first two weeks than the last two weeks of the month. So in May, I am going to try to take all of the money out of the bank at one time and see if that works. For the last two months I have tried your method, and it really has not worked for me.

I do really good on my groceries but I can't ever stay in budget on my fuel. I guess I haven't figured it well enough. My fuel spending is over $750 a month...
