Re: Reward system
We reward ourselves every month! We are to the place where we both get $250.00 a month to "blow". We have our own individual checking and savings accounts and then we have a joint savings and checking account. Our joint account we use to pay our tithes, for savings and of course for bills. However, we do deduct the $500.00 a month right after the tithes are paid for ourselves. It makes it so much easier for us to pay our bills and to leave what is left in the joint account for the next month doing it this way. Our income tax refunds will stay in the joint account for house taxes and house insurance.
We were both heavily indebted when we married 8 years ago but we perservered and enjoyed the simple things in life like going to the riverside and watching the boats, going for an ice cream, reading and working on our genealogy. We still do these things now as they are apart of us. It's just good knowing that we are in the position finally to PAY OURSELVES FIRST.
