Six envelopes and a ledger, both free to print. This cash envelope template printable works as a blank cash envelope system: page 1 holds 6 write-in envelope boxes, each with a category line, a monthly-amount line, and a spent-tally of 4 circles. Page 2 is the envelope log: 10 write-in rows with a date, the envelope the money left, the amount out, and what is left in that envelope. The sheets record; the amounts stay yours.
How to use this page: print both pages at 100% scale (the site chrome drops out on paper). Write your own category on each envelope box and the amount you plan to spend there for the month; those two lines are the whole setup. During the month, fill one circle on an envelope each time you spend from it, and add each withdrawal as a row on the page 2 log: date, envelope, out, left. A full envelope of circles and an empty log row tell you the same thing at a glance. Reprint both pages each month.

One envelope per spending place. The tally circles fill in pen: one per spend, and once the four are gone, the envelope holds nothing left to spend until next month. Need more envelope room this month? Reprint and split a category into two envelopes.

Copy the envelope name exactly as you wrote it on page 1, so the two pages read as one ledger. "Out" is what left the envelope; "Left" is what the envelope holds after that withdrawal. When a row will not fit the remaining circles on its envelope, the sheet is telling you the month ran long, not the pen.
This sheet records where cash goes and what each envelope holds. It holds no advice on how much to put in any envelope, no spending rules, and no opinion dressed as a number; the amounts on every line are yours to choose.
Fits A4 and US Letter at 100%. Grayscale prints fine.
A write-in record sheet for a cash-envelope month: six blank envelope boxes, a tally of four circles per envelope, and a 10-row log of what left each one. It organizes spending records on paper; it does not tell anyone how much to place in an envelope, which categories to pick, or whether cash fits a household better than a card. Nothing on this page is financial advice. What the sheets do is keep the whole month's envelope activity in one visible place, so the next withdrawal is one you write down on purpose.
Paper answers what left each envelope this month. The Personal Budget Tracker workbook answers the next one: what each month held across every category, what a category holds against its monthly amount, and what a savings goal still needs. Its Transactions sheet logs date, description, category, income, expense and method, and the Categories sheet sets a budget per category for the month. Verbatim from the product README:
A one-workbook personal budgeting system for Excel and Google Sheets: log daily income and expenses with dropdowns, read the month-by-month picture on a dashboard that computes itself, hold each category to a monthly budget, and watch three savings goals fill up.
