I don't use envelopes and rarely use cash. I take out cash once a week for anything the kids might need at school (pizza day, trips, grad sweatshirt order etc) but that's it. Dh keeps the Visa on him, and I have the ATM/debit card.
YNAB has been AWESOME. There is a learning curve, but the classes and website FAQ's and forums make it all very clear. I have put more money away for vacation and Christmas than I even thought I had extra. But once you assign every dollar somewhere you know exactly what you have and where it is going. I love it. I really can't recommend it enough. Just be patient while you learn and not afraid to ask questions. Best $48 dollars I have spent in a LONG time.
