[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the replies!

DH doesn’t want to do an financial advisor right now, and I’m okay with that. He has spoken to numerous other parters at his firm, and they all are doing something different. Many have financial advisors, but many don’t. And the financial advisors we have spoken to don’t appear to be offering any advice we haven’t already considered (and much of it we are already following). Also, my issue has been taken care of with the free advice offered on DCUM (plus the idea of doing 529s at the end of the year!).

We do have an accountant, though.

We have an account with money we set aside last year to give us a financial buffer for this year, and DH said he’ll transfer all our extra money into that account each time he gets one of his bigger checks. So our regular checking account balance wont’ show any money we shouldn’t be touching. I think this is going to take care of my issue. I figured this had to be a pretty simple fix. [/quote]

Just fyi, there was no extra money from our quarterly draws after tax payments. Sadly. And make sure you understand how much medical will be. It was 4-5k per month for us, so a high chunk out of the monthly paycheck. Made it hard to save during the year. [/quote]
