Here's the system I use: http://www.catholiccomments.com/2008/03/why-i-love-money-even-more-in-envelopes.html It has done miracles for my wife and me in a short time.

Although I haven't tried the new version. But I assume the old one is even more primitive. You're unnecessarily biased against the whole fixed amount idea. It's good to have goals. We make a certain amount of money each month and to live within our means, one has to work with what they have. ;) And yes, I make adjustments in PearBudget every month based on my current spending priorities. Basically, it is just a spreadsheet system, and I use my debit receipts to enter. I don;t want something downloading my transactions. I want to be intimately involved in entering and classifying and remembering what exactly I spent where. Takes a little longer but keeps me more aware. I use PearBudget.
