I was reading another thread on this topic, and like many others, a lot of the headings are not relevany to me, and a few are missing!

Anyway, as suggested, i copied the sections i needed on to Excel, but the formulas have vanished!?!?

Anyone know what formulas were used?

Thanks!

Hello to everyone.

I'd like to know a little more about 'piggybanking' as mentioned in the budgeting article. I've performed several searches but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

How do I go about setting up several bank accounts accounts?

Do I do this with my current bank (Barclays) or do I go to other banks?

I feel confident that this approach would work for me.

If this has already been covered, then please forgive me - but I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

Thank you in advance.

Forget my last.

I think I found the answer.

I discovered today that I can add e-savings accounts through online banking. I now need to discover whether I can pay people from these accounts. They have account numbers and sort codes, so I can't see why not.

Then I need to see if I can work out how to give them a meaningful name, like 'Mortgage' or 'Electricity'.

I also need to read up on exactly how many of these e-saving accounts I can have. So far, It looks like I could easily use around TWENTY! Realistically I think I may have to lump a few categories into the same account.

Regards

Monty
