Do you live in an apartment and want to get on a new budgeting plan that will allow you to keep track of your spending and your income to reach those big financial goals? Are you someone who tends to overspend when you have a debit or credit card on you and you want a way to reduce that and get ahead? Then the envelope budgeting method can be a good option for you to choose. It will require you to put a certain amount of money in each envelope and when that money is gone, then you are done spending in that category for the month.

There are a few benefits that you will be able to enjoy when you choose to go with the envelope method, especially if you are someone who struggles with spending too much and you would like to cut down on that a bit. Some of the benefits to consider here include:

# Many studies have shown that, for some people, it is easier to spend a lot less money when they go with cash rather than a debit or a credit card. There is something mentally about spending the money that way that makes it last longer. This can help you reach some of your financial goals a lot faster than before.

# This budgeting method is a good one because it is tangible and will require  you to only spend the money that is required. When the envelope is empty, you are out of money and will not be able to put it on the card or pull it from the next month. This can help you, especially if you have some strict financial goals that you would like to reach.

You can try this method for a few months and see how it works for you. You may need to adjust some of the categories because you find that a few are going through the money too fast and some are having leftovers to consider. You can make some of the necessary adjustments to ensure that you get the most out of your money and can stay on the new budgeting plan.
