I just simply divide my money in different savings accounts, like I have one separate for investments and emergency, one for every day expenses, and, one just for to keep the extra amount, a tiresome process but it keeps all my transactions separated based on accounts. And I just ensure correct account is used on same type of transactions.
I do this same thing. Further for expenses, Iโve got cards for each category of expense - shopping/travel/groceries. And demat accounts for each category of investment strategy - active/passive.
So the account statements kind of act as ledgers for budgeting and recon.
I have a simple hack which I have used since I was 25 after multiple iterations.
I have 8 credit cards. I spend only through them depending which offer is available. I have set up all the cards in Cred which gives me the bills pending every month.
I have an autodebit into stock SIPs every month of 60% of my salary. I keep the rest of my money for my credit card bills and Rs 5K-15K every month in my savings account. If any money gets saved at end of the month out of this 5k-15K, I sweep it into a 7 day FD . I repeat this process MOM.

Now I need your Credit Card acquisition story
Standard Chartered Digi Smart Is LTF?
How? Sc is asking for Rs.49 Monthly Fee.
Happy to help brother
@CarolinMerces As mentioned separately under asterisk,
Standard Chartered DigiSmart is not a straight LTF card, but we will get the Rs 49 monthly fees back (with a gap of 3 months) by spending Rs 5,000 in the running calendar month. I achieve that by transferring 5,000 to Paytm and takes that back to the Bank and invest the same in Mutual fund.
Okay Thanks Buddy
