[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always check my bank info online.

My spouses pay is consistent, though may vary by 600 a month. Mine varies by 2000 a month at times. Depends on how much I feel like working.

I know how much I transfer into a savings acct. 
Also, how do you account for expenses like getting a new backsplash, window coverings etc. We have a new house and have been having constant expenditures for the house. Or getting a new computer etc?

So, tell me, what do you do? How do you guys track your money? [/quote]

I'm not a very organized person, so I just make sure I pay myself first. All bills are set to autopay twice a month on paycheck days. Also on paycheck days I have about a dozen Capital One 360 savings accounts that auto-debit my checking account. There's one for emergency savings, one for car repair, one for house repair, one for once-a-year insurance or tax payments, one for vacations, one for tech purchases, etc. When I need to pay for something out of a category I just shift the money back to checking. It makes you plan big purchases because the money takes two days to transfer.

This way I know whatever my online balance says I can spend, I can spend it without worrying I just blew the car payment. [/quote]

I like this idea![/quote]
