By the way, five months later, it's still holding up very well, which kind of surprised me, since it was such a basic little project. I'm really glad I used such a loud fabric -- it tunes me right into the good feelings that come from following Dave Ramsey's advice. I think about him every time I use it!

The one envelope is much, much slimmer than any wallet, and when paying with cash I don't need to haul out any ID or cards, so I just pull the envelope out. I do carry a small card case with ID, debit card, health insurance card, etc., but keep it in a different pocket. Combined, they are still take up less room than my smallest previous wallet. Occasionally I do need an additional spending category, but instead of adding another envelope, I just paper clip the bills together to keep them separate. Coins are the rub. I put them into the envelope and spend them as quickly as possible. Mr. Noile always needs quarters for his trips to the city, so all quarters get dumped into his 'parking bank' as soon as I get home.

And just the right size, unlike my stupid DESIGNER wallet with bill slots made too short for dollar bills. I've been meaning to make my own wallet. I am familiar with the concept of envelopes, but if you only carry one envelope, why not just use a wallet? Or do you not use a wallet? What do you do with the coins when you get change?
