Thank you for your suggestions. I'll check into Mint.
I try to avoid putting as much as I can on credit cards. We carried serious CC debt & only paid them off when my wife got her payout for being laid off. There is some stuff that does go on but I'm hesitant to put our normal bills on it.
We couldn't do everything out at once. I get paid every 2 weeks (we're on 1 income) which means my pay dates change. I need more control to be able to pay things earlier or a little late if need be based on how much is due at once.
I try to over estimate our bank balance by about $100 to $150. We cut it close to the line with our regular bills, and the extra spending we do that we need to learn to cut back on. We're also trying to build a jewlery business for her, which means we try to take advantage of the sales when we can. We're still learning about juggling. I need to get better at sitting and dealing with the finances. The Mint email reminder sounds interesting, it might be something that will help me stay on track.
