re: Spinoff from the budget app thread. How do you handle accounts and payments with SO?

We have one checking account where all paychecks, bonuses, etc. are deposited. We also have one savings account. We pay all bills from checking. We move a set amount to savings. We then each take an “allowance” from checking. This is a fairly substantial amount. It’s used for gasoline, eating out at lunch at the office, whatever else that person wants. My wife uses a checking account with her “allowance”, I just use cash.

We started this about 3 years ago and it’s been great.
