Looking back, my old way of tracking quarterly taxes was a total mess.

I used to just guess and set aside a random chunk of cash, which meant I was always scrambling or short. About two years ago, I started using a simple spreadsheet to put away 30% of every single payment into a separate account the day it hits my bank. It sounds basic, but that one change stopped the April panic for good. Has anyone else found a better way to automate this, maybe with a specific app?

That separate account thing is key. My buddy tried the "guess and set aside" method and got a real shock at tax time, made KevinW94's old system look good. He switched to auto-transfers and sleeps way better now.

What app do you use for that separate account?

My old system was so bad the IRS probably felt bad for me.
