I think this is the best method. Figure out how much you take home, then figure out how much you want to save each month. The rest you can spend! Figure out what goes to recurring bills, and whatever is left is "fun money." Then, all you have to do is track fun money and things that are potentially variable such as groceries. Literally all I track is groceries and fun money - the rest is already taken care of automatically (including savings).
