DITCH THE ENVELOPES & FIND WALLET PEACE
Bella Taylor offers a solution for busy budgeters looking to get their spending under control so they can build their emergency fund, start their debt snowball, and smash their financial goals.
It’s the cash envelope budgeting system - without the envelopes!
Keeping your cash in envelopes is messy. Ever forgotten an envelope at home? Or have you experienced the anxiety of shuffling through envelopes at checkout? The last thing you need is a system that makes life more complicated!
We can’t give you more hands, but we can give you a solution to streamline your cash envelope budgeting.
Simplify your Cash Budget in 4 Steps:
1. Plan your Budget
Review your monthly spending, then create spending categories.
What amount of money will you budget for those categories each week?
Will you refill your wallet every week, or every two weeks?
No matter what amount you choose, your cash will stay hidden in the wallet’s deep envelopes.
2. Set Up Your Wallet
Label your spending categories. Use our 10 pre-printed labels, or create your own!
Add your checkbook and budget ledger.
Organize your cards, IDs, and coins.
3. Give Every Dollar a Name
At the beginning of each budgeting period, fill each labeled slot with the amount of cash you decided on for that category.
As you make purchases in each category, only use the cash from that section. Try not to borrow from other sections.
When the money's gone, it's gone!
4. Begin your Debt Free Journey
Build better habits.
Control your spending.
Watch your savings grow!

The most secure way to budget with cash
Nervous about carrying around a lot of cash? Bella Taylor budget wallets are designed to be discreet and secure, keeping your money and cards contained, hidden, and close at hand:
*Cash Stays Hidden - The envelopes are 1" taller than US bills, meaning that the cash in other sections won’t be visible when you’re pulling out money at the register.
*Zippered & Secure - The cash section zips up, leaving no chance that your money will fall out or be seen by prying eyes.
*Stays closed - Whether you opt for our turnlock or zippered closures, the wallet won’t fall open, unsnap, or pop open when pulled.
*RFID protection - Choose one of our RFID wallets for added protection from data theft.
*Hands-free security - Use the optional wristlet attachment to keep your wallet close at hand, without actually having to use your hands.
Great Buy!
“If you do a cash envelope system this wallet cannot be beat. It is so practical, it is good size so everything fits, design is lovely and worth every penny.”
