Standardizing The Envelope for Bills - A Guide to Adulting

What is the American Standard?

The American Standard is a guide for creating and managing bills that adults should follow to avoid getting too confused or overwhelmed. It's like the adult version of a to-do list, but for money.

By following the American Standard, you'll be able to keep track of your expenses, save for the future, and even impress your friends with your adulting skills.

How to Standardize Your Envelope

To standardize your envelope, start by setting clear boundaries and expectations with your creditors. This might involve negotiating with your landlord or bank manager to create a schedule that works for you.

Next, set up a system for tracking your expenses. This could be a spreadsheet, a budgeting app, or even just a fancy notebook. The key is to find a system that works for you and stick to it.

Once you've got your system in place, start paying your bills on time. It's like sending a postcard to your creditors, saying "Hey, I'm here, and I'm on time!"
