it's not about knowing what/how i spend. it's about trying to set UP a budget...it's about anticipating what my needs are, what should go in there, and how to establish a system that handles it all. do you have separate accounts for gifts, and vacation, and house repair, and car, and hookers/blow, and bills? do you throw it all in one pot and dig in when you need it? do you have an account for quarterly stuff? i want a system that i can divvy stuff up into and have everything taken care of. is the answer two accounts? twenty? the old accordion file system under the mattress?
ugh.
ugh.
