Starting a freedom account...again

November 24th, 2009 at 02:41 pm

I had a freedom account established a few years ago, and though it didn't lost long, I liked having it. We're expecting a large reimbursement check within the month that will take care of Christmas plus a good amount to start up a FA. I've been brainstorming categories I need it for today and estimated $1000 for misc. for the year. I wonder, should clothes and home improvement monies be accounted for in a FA or in some other way? We've scrimped for so long, we've never had money for either category and bought only when necessary and then only very cheap.

    You should use your FA for whatever reasons you want. Here is a great link:

    We use ours for auto insurance, auto registrations, an annual gym membership, and life insurance. We now have a second account to hold our homeowner's insurance and property taxes.

    I agree with campfrugal to use it for whatever works for you. I would start slow however. Two many categories can be overwhelming in the beginning.
