[QUOTE="ksm, post: 752330, member: 12511"] Can you use the envelope system and let your husband give her the correct envelope each week? And then ask her to place the receipts in the envelope? Or get a refillable debit card and add money each week? I like the envelopes. I set up a system for younger DGD to put her money in several envelopes. She saved for a car, and in 6 weeks had about $1500. Then she would have her envelope that was for incidentals, fast food, etc. then one to save for car insurance. She liked seeing the money accumulate and it was a visual thing for her. If the money was kept all together, it was too easy to overspend. If she needed more money, she had to take it out of one of the other envelopes, and she knew she might not have enough for the necessities. Ksm [/QUOTE]
