[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a special credit card, scheduled to pay off in full every month, that we use for the two budget areas where we went routinely over budget every month. So now we can check the balance regularly and we know instantly if we are on track for where we are in the four-week billing cycle. We can even set up alerts that tell us if we hit a certain figure. Before it was so onerous to regularly add up all the small transactions to see what we had spent, that we didn't do it often enough and often did it far too late. [/quote] I do something similar. $250 per paycheck (every other week) for all incidental (coffee, lunch, school stuff, birthday presents, random stuff at Home Depot, etc). All other money goes directly to checking for auto bill pay or savings accounts. [/quote]
