I have been thinking about how to organize my accounts. You have a good and simple setup. I tend to make things too complicated. Best of all it’s mostly automatic. I have been working on putting together my financial plan on my blog I may reference you.

@Jason

I understand about complicating things, I am now on a quest to simplify my life – I am trying to become fairly minimalist with everything – I would love to hear about your financial plan when you have it complete…

Thanks for sharing this post I picked up a couple great tips for banking and financial help that I will use.

I do things a lot like this. I only have one paycheck and it all goes into my bill account. My child support gets directly deposited to my other account which I use for child care, Ymca classes, my son’s lunch account, spending money, clothes and groceries.
What I do a bit differently and has worked great is to get a credit card for the gas station I go to. I charge all of my gas and get 3 cents back per gallon in the form of a gift certificate. This comes out to about 4 free fill-ups per year. When gas was at it’s highest price, I spent between 350 and 400 a month on it. So I categorize my bill account and set aside 400 per month for “auto”. I have the entire balance on the card automatically deducted from my account. Any amount below 400 for the month sits there to cover maintenance and repairs on my truck. I no longer have to budget around gas prices unless they go above $4/gallon. Yay!

If you really feel the need to help them out, budget it in. Let’s say after all your expenses, you take 25% of the remainder and send them a check for that amount every month.
