The cash part I've already instituted, simply because (at least to me) hard cash makes it easier to live within than an amorphous debit card. We don't have credit cards to use (other than my Amazon, used only on Amazon). Passwords to the accounts are no problem. We can only check on the bank account thru my computer. And he can't remember any passwords, and can't get into my system, anyway. I'm against auto payments simply because I can't consistently depend on the dates they get deducted. With as little money as we deal with each month, it'd be way too easy for one autopay to step on another's toes. I do have some small streaming on autopay, but anything that deals with amounts over $50, I'll be paying myself. Grandson helps, in that he helps me keep track beyond my Excel spreadsheet. And all the tech is way over my hubby's head. So that, actually, helps.
