Since my husband and I moved in to our first apartment I have been the accountant. It worked well for us when I was well but it's not so good when I'm in an episode. When hypo I'm unable to manage money and since my husband relies on me to tell him what we can spend it gets pretty rough.

I have found that using money tracking apps for your phone or programs for your computer can really help. The trick is you have to actually keep on too of entering your transactions. My husband and I use our debit card almost exclusively so everything can be tracked. Mint.com has apps that can access your bank account if you allow it to and download all your transactions and categorize them for you. That way you at least know where your money goes.
