Cash Organizer

Are you looking for a good way to organize your cash? If you were at the Savvy Savings class last night at St. Lukes, then you saw a few of the cash organizers that I have used over the past 13 years.

Here are some links to those organizers.

The Crown Financial organizer can be found here.

And my current favorite, Dave Ramsey's Deluxe Wallet Envelope System can be found here. Unfortunately it looks like it is temporarily out of stock.


























I like to use a cash organizer because it makes budgeting so much easier! When the envelope is out of cash - well you just can't spend!

If you would like an easy way to get started - get a coupon organizer from the dollar store and label it with your categories and amounts. It's not as pretty as the wallet - but it will work!

Savvy Saving Inteview with John Barnes

I was recently interviewed by John Barnes (no relation) of IMCPL for the "Between the Lines" program which runs on local cable television.

It was a real pleasure to meet John. You will recognize his voice if you frequent the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library. He is the voice on the telephone and any announcements you may hear at the library.

The interview will be airing on Channel 28 (Comcast) and Channel 17 (Bright House) throughout the month of April. If you are like me, and do not have cable, I have posted it for you here.

I speak in the interview about what you can expect to learn at the Savvy Savings Classes offered for FREE to you by the IMCPL. There are only 3 scheduled classes left, so if you have been putting off attending, do so no longer!

I have had a great time meeting many great people throughout the city of Indianapolis and sharing with them how to save $ and I hope you will join me for one of the remaining classes.

You can find the schedule and registration information for the Savvy Saving classes, brought to you by the IMCPL here.
