Michelle explains how it worked for her:
"By the end of the month, I'd spent less than two hours monitoring my finances, yet I'd invested 10 percent, saved 5 percent (in sub-buckets for the wedding and down payment), paid all of the bills on time, paid off my credit card in full, and spent exactly what I wanted to spend. I only had to say "no" once, and it was no big deal. In fact, none of it was."
Scroll down to the end of that blog-post - some of the Comments have some clever suggestions, e.g. valuable self-employed tax deductions posted by Jeff Nabers.
Would it work for you? Is he missing any key issues, especially given how Numberers might act?
