Wife manages checking account. She tries to keep 1500.00. We are pretty much cash only, now. Use of credit tends to be online only. Can always move $$$ from savings to checking.

Her pay, my retirement and 1/3rd of what I earn goes to checking, bills and the likes. 1/3rd goes to savings. 1/3rd I use for fuel, personal care items, date nights, spending money as I see fit to give (children, grandchildren, etc).

Start each month with $1,000
+Income
-Expenses

Whatever amount is left at the end of the month over $1,000 goes into savings/investments. If that amount is under $1,000 ( ) then we transfer back from savings.

Repeat.
