How many accounts for budgeting & piggybanking

Hi folks,

I've been a member here for two years - on a DMP - and i was just wonderiing how many accounts other folks have to help budget and stay on the "straight and narrow"...Can you have too many accounts? :)

Any tips re. keeping down "other / miscellaneous" spending most welcome as I seem to keep track of the "big" bills but money seems to vapourise out of my account on "other stuff"
