• Envelope Budget Mobile?

I’ve been sitting on a tool for a while that I haven’t told anyone about. It’s a very simplified mobile version of EnvelopeBudget.com. From the beginning I wanted Envelope Budget to be responsive so it would work on any device. While responsive works OK, a dedicated mobile experience is better. While I don’t really have […]

If you are familiar with the system, many of you probably already know Catherine. Catherine Tenejeros has written the majority of the code you see on EnvelopeBudget.

Welcome to the EnvelopeBudget blog! In this post I just wanted to introduce myself as founder of EnvelopeBudget and explain what my intentions are for the software and this blog. As many of you know, EnvelopeBudget is a new project based on its predecessor, Inzolo.com. I hope to make this blog more personal than Inzolo’s […]
