More than one bank account

[Kazz]

Okay never dawned on me till today but am I the only person who has more than one account I have one main one where wages paid into this also becomes my spending account ie whats in there after bills/food is for me.:-D
A direct debit comes from main one to another one for direct debits/bills to come out of and a direct debit goes to another account for food/petrol etc.

Just speaking to a friend today who thought I was odd.

Seems practical to me, although I just have one checking account. I have direct debits go on one of my credit cards, which are paid off in full every month. That works for me...

See I used to be a bit of a flybynight regarding money ie forgot bills coming out etc. And got irritated by myself paying charges for direct debits not paid etc so decided to have an account with enough money paid in to cover bills. Then this graduated to an account for food when I flat shared a year of hell and never changed it but it works very well for me.
