For people who don't like budgeting, I can't praise this enough.

This system is great because you can change the numbers to cater to your current lifestyle. I've changed my accounts around based on my goals and income at the moment.

Update on accounts:

Necessities 15
Fun/MOTORHOME USA (goal to take a 1-month trip around the US in a rented motorhome) 6
Gifts/Charity 2
Glasses/watch-clothes (ongoing account now that I keep for buying new clothes) 2
Luxury SUV (saving for a slightly used Luxury SUV for when my lease runs out next year) 5
FFA (financial freedom account) & Taxes 70
Mattress 0 (This account is now fully topped up and sitting there for buying a new mattress... I was saving 2% so I took that and allocated to different accounts)

Have increased my FFA account quite a bit with my increased income to save for more investments. My necessities account doesn't need as much as last year as I'm still living a similar lifestyle.
