Set Up Two Different Checking Accounts - Deepstash

Set Up Two Different Checking Accounts

Set up two separate checking accounts — one checking account for all the bills and living expenses and one checking account for all the fun and bs expenses.

• Separate your spending — only pay for bills and living expenses out of the bills and life account, and only use the fun account for the nonessentials in your life.

This system only works if you make sure that you adopt this rule as a part of the operating process.
