Mom: You need some motherly pearls of wisdom, Cathy...Here...At the start of each month, simply put cash in an envelope for each budgeted expense!...When the envelope is empty, you can't buy anything else! You'll save thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours, and live a happier, more peaceful, meaningful life!! Cathy: Have you ever done that once mom?? Mom: They're brand new pearls of wisdom! Never used! Even more special!!
