All incoming money into savings account, all bills come out of savings. I pay myself each Thursday from my savings (amount is based on my budget) into weekly expenses and splurge account. This must last all week. Other people like to have heaps of accounts for all their different expenses ie. fuel, groceries, shopping, holiday accounts. If it works for you great, however it takes more work.
