Well, I now have a regular budget, and a few accounts that I juggle money between. With a theoretically fixed amount for frivolous spending per week, I should see money going where it needs to go.
I’ve been spending A LOT on flights to see friends over the last year, and one thing I’ve never really fixed in my head is ‘how much should I spend on fun stuff per week?’. I earn a pretty comfortable wage, but I’ve never really decided that.
Now, with (I think) less that I normally spend set as an amount per week, it actually feels like more, and I enjoy planning impulse purchases possibly more than spending them.
The last thing I need to do is fix up my debit card so that it’s hooked to the right sub-accounts, so I KNOW if I pull that card I’m spending on toys/fun stuff.
