Uses the "envelope" method of budgeting
In CommonCents each category of your budget is represented by an envelope. Every paycheck will get distributed into these various envelopes. When you spend money on groceries, the money comes out of the groceries envelope. When you pay your rent, the money comes out of the rent envelope. This is a time-tested method of managing your money. It's an easy way to know at a glance exactly how much money you have on hand and what it is allotted for.

Familiar checkbook-style registers
