Budgetting Using Multiple Bank Accounts 1 day ago

In order to track my money better and control spending I opened 3 bank account and split my paycheck among them and set up direct deposit from my work into the accounts.

Account #1: Debt Payment (49%)
Use online payment to pay all my debts from this
account.
Account #2: Savings (22%)
Never touch this account
Account #3: Monthly Expense (29%)
Used this account to get cash or to pay for regular
expense.

It’s working really well because, I only see the money in account #3 and stop spending when there’s nothing left in #3.

Once my debt has been paid off, I will change the direct deposit allocations and used account #1 to save for something else, maybe save money for my niece and nephews.

July 7 2 days ago

I’m hoping to just start saving little bits of extra money from my check because I know I won’t be able to save big chunks of it because of my upcoming bills. But I’m hoping to learn how to use my money more wisely and try to save a pretty good amount because its always good to have some money saved.

selicious is starting up with her 43things

in progress and happy 1 week ago

i’m so glad that i have been working on this goal and so far so good…i was able to keep in mind my goal…and overcome temptations that i face everyday :)
also it works hand-in-hand with another goal of mine which is to watch after my diet to get in shape…as i no longer buy desserts after lunch that make me fat and also adds up to my daily expenses…
i’m having that control now…last time my friend told me that she’s going to starbucks and i was able to say no…before i would easily jump in and have coffee…
also last tuesday my friend asked me to come with him to a store that has a lot sale items…i gladly accompanied him… and i decided not to buy anything…i just bought one shirt but not for me but for my friend as i’ll be meeting with her next week on her birthday…
last night i went to the mall and just window-shopped for clothes, as in i tried them on, but i did not buy anything…
so far so good :)
