RE: The road to forward finances

That’s a good system you have.

My banking app allows for 20 digital ‘piggy-banks’, which I use to allocate money to certain expenses.

Some examples of the categories are groceries, car, taxes, presents, emergency fund and general savings.

I would like to have more than 20, but that’s not allowed unfortunately.

Sort:  

I noticed my bank has started a new app which permits lots of bank accounts like that, basically little piggy bank's as you say. It's probably not something I'd use myself but if it keeps a person on track then that's great. I have a holiday account that gets a sum put in there monthly, hopefully I get to use it again one day, but other than that just my main account where my pay goes into and from where I transfer from to pay my VISA off each month. This, and the envelopes, has worked for me for many years.

I don't think it matters what system a person uses, what's important is that they have one that works and they stick to it.

Thanks for your comment and well done for taking control of your finances.

I agree, you should have a system and be committed to keep using it.

This is much much better than not having a system
