If your employer doesn’t let you allocate (or allocate enough accounts to meet your goals) consider putting your paycheck into an account that is just a “holding” account and allocate from there. When I had an employer that only allowed a two way split, I did that and it worked great.

This reminds me of the book, The Automatic Millionaire. Automating as much as possible puts that mountainous-fire (or is it firery-mountain??) between your future and your urges to succumb to advertising and buy stuff.

Nice work, PT. A future side-hustle as an artist awaits you!

On my site, I advocate finding money within your current budget to “pay yourself” If you made coffee at home rather than buying it at the local coffee shop, “pay yourself” that $4 straight in to your savings account. Read my article (linked here) to read the rest.

And it works. By following the model you had up a year ago for bank-account seperations, we saved for a house downpayment.
