I keep going back and forth on how to do this. I would love to get feed back on how others do it (and why).
I have a number of fixed amounts I pay every month: - Loans: Auto, Home - Debt: several credit cards (no longer in use and managed with Debt Quencher) - Utilities: Gas, Electric, Water, Trash - Services: Internet, Cell Phone, Auto Insurance Everything is set up for level pay (pay the same amount each month) and auto pay (automatic payment on the same date each month). On the one hand, I see benefit to bucketing based on use: - Housing: Home Loan, Utilities, Repairs, Household Supplies, etc - Transportation: Auto Loan, Auto Insurance, Maintenance, Gas, Bus Fare - etc. This allows me to see 'what' I am spending my money on, but it doesn't really focus on what I really have control of day to day. So perhaps I am better just throwing all the fixed stuff into one big bucket: - Fixed Expenses: all the auto pay stuff that does not change Then I can concentrate on how I manage everything that is left. I can always see how much I spent on my Jeep loan by using the Payee/Memo fields. I keep going back and forth on this, so any feedback is appreciated.
