Direct deposit of course. I don't trust myself with anymore than a few dollars cash. One day when you are feeling "good" sit down and figure out how much you can spend out of your pay and put that percentage in one acct. The rest in the other acct for bills. Give access to some one that you trust. And they can take care of the other bills for you. Hope that helps.

I do have direct deposit. I can withdraw the money I can spend after I have drawn up a budget and place it in the account that has that debit card. I use online banking to pay the bills. No cash is ever used for the money I use to pay bills.

This is terrific, isn't it? All very good suggestions! I think I am beginning to feel better about being able to handle this situation because of your suggestions, and particularly because of all of your support. I do not feel alone because of this.
My mother has dementia. I take care of both her and myself. I handle everything, and I mean everything. I am also on disability because of my problem. So at times I can be stressed. I do now have a caretaker coming in for 5 hours a day that Medicaid pays for, which helps. So I hope this helps you understand my situation better. I have to set everything up where I can be reliable enough for my mother. And of course there are my needs to deal with and my mental health to consider.
