You should be funneling income into a separate account and moving it elsewhere after.

I do this as well.

This reminds me to look into a long standing request of mine. I want Chase to give me an account that has no external bank access allowed. Money can only be moved into/out of it from the other Chase account under my ownership. My immediate look a few years ago did not reveal any built in way to make this possible.

I have a friend that is extremely wealthy. He can pretty much buy whatever he wants.

He does this all the time. He has a "cannon fodder" bank account that gets just enough for the expected payments.
