I have a bucket called "Bank Fees". I plop about $10 there a month to cover my known monthly checking fee and any ATM fees I might incur. I move and excess at the end of the month back to my main income bucket. > 2. Jewelry Insurance?

I file all my insurance allocation needs under an Insurance buckets with one exception, my mortgage payment includes this, so I just get that from the Mortgage bucket. > > 3. Stamps and other postage? I know Kevin will cringe, but I have a "Misc" bucket I put stuff like that in. Very random, I don't have a spending plan for it. I just make manual money flows when I need to cover an expense there. > > I have the following buckets set up: > > Automobile > Cable/Internet > Charity > Clothing > Daycare > Eating Out > Electric > Entertainment > Garbage/Recycling > Gas/Heating > Gifts > Groceries > Housing > Medical/Dental > Memberships/Subscriptions > Personal Care > Phones > Retirement > Savings > Taxes > Vacation & Travel > Water/Sewer That's pretty close to my bucket list. I have few more, but mostly they are for tracking something specific I'm saving for. I hope that helps.
