After recently reading "The Rules of Wealth" by Richard Templar and a post from Tim Ferris of Automated Finances, I have been motivated to divide up my personal income into three categories:

1. Living expenses (40%) <- what I need to live on a day-to-day basis, small ticket (<$100) items.
2. Sunny day fund (30%) <- longer term, bigger ticket expenses (vacations, gadgets, etc).
3. Rainy day fund (30%) <- for when shit happens.

And have created three separate bank accounts for each of these. By having the online accounts visually labeled and my income automatically divided up and transferred between the accounts, I have found it releases a psychological burden of knowing how much I have in each area. The only question now is whether the %'s are appropriate, but I think I need time to figure that out.

Do other people here do something similar?
