The Tiller Money team is pleased to announce the inaugural winner of our Winning Workflow, a monthly contest recognizing user-created finance tools & workflows.
Our February 2020 prize goes to community member Rich Scott with his Envelope System, an envelope-budgeting solution built for Tiller Money-powered spreadsheets.
Envelope System
In Rich’s solution, three powerful and intuitive actions drive the budgeting process: “Fund Envelopes”, “Clear Values”, and “Sweep Envelopes”.
Funding events are logged (and annotated if the user chooses) in the “Funding Transactions” sheet for a budgeting history ledger.
Further, the workflow introduces the concept of “funding templates”, where multiple user-configured funding allowances (configured in the Categories sheet) can be manually applied to multiple envelopes.
For example, when a paycheck is cashed, the user can apply a paycheck funding template that splits the paycheck to fund their envelopes. A separate template could fund envelopes (differently) based on a different income event.
As with any envelope budgeting system, there is a bit of a learning curve. That said, if you’re interested in envelope budgeting, we encourage you to have a look at Rich’s solution.
With his winning workflow, Rich wins a free year of Tiller Money and also a $200 Amazon gift card.
