Monthly Money Merry-go-round

kimwp

I'm probably being cautious, but I allow five days for money to have gone into an account before setting it to go out (I think I based this on Easter weekend).

I used to do money shuffles for regular saver account access (a combination of hub and spoke and money passing through a few accounts), but I only have money going to Lloyds now as this is the only one (that I have) that has current account activity requirements. All these reward opportunities have passed me by.

Mine is a lot messier than this, but I check most accounts daily just to make sure nothing's going wrong - I find it only takes five minutes. 

I will simplify it all when I 'lose' the Halifax account in October. 

Also I always have payments which I KNOW are going almost straight out again going in at least one day before they're needed. I used to leave more time but I now seem to resent the fact that the account they're going out from pays interest, and most of the places they're going to don't.

Over the last year or so I've greatly simplified my money-go-round, mostly because falling interest rates make the game less interesting in both senses of the word! So I now have fewer regular savers and fewer "accounts with perks". 

But I have always run it all on standing orders. Can't be doing with the manual method!

I pressed the link to “What’s the secret to tasty home made pizza” and ended up here.  I tried it again 4 or 5 times but still no pizza 😢😢😢

And direct debits, bonus if you have a supply you can forage from.

Yup I wanted the pizza thread but it's not connected.

I have just seen the front page with the pizza link.

And I have also seen the caption on the next link for this thread.

Do you have routine for making the most of your money?


I think one of the MSE editors has very much missed the point.

I have to admit though, that was what I first thought. Something to do with monthly budgeting rather than recycing money through various accounts to maximise the benefits.
