On payday I check how much is in it, then I recalculate what I need to withdraw from the bank to top it up to the regular amount.<br />The money that wasn't used for petrol this pay is then half is put on the credit card if any is needed & half is put in the Emergency Fund account. If there is no credit card debt or other debts, then all that lovely money is put in the Emergency Fund.<br />That is what i do these days.<br />When I was a young mum a long way from my parents, I kept the petrol money in a special purse and when there was enough to cover the cost of a trip to visit the parents plus that fortnight's petrol then I would check the diary for any upcoming events, if none, then the bags were packed & off we would go to visit the kids' grandparents.
