    Yeah, I was gonna say I have 7 accounts. A lot of free ones labeled “vacation” “house projects” “emergencies”

      Exactly, and everything is automated so a percentage of my paycheck gets automatically sorted into each one. It’s great.

        grr, I hate you guys. You make me feel so disorganized! Why hadn’t I thought of this type of thing?

          It’s mostly out of laziness! I’m a big fan of “set it and forget it” approaches to life. It also helps keep track of finances and prevents splurges you can’t afford. If I have $300 in my “travel” account, I’m not going to go on a $1500 trip.
