This is related to Dan Ariely’s comments in “Predictably Irrational” about a credit card with preset spending limits on specific categories. Banks have no motivation to provide this service (some entities can be rational at times). This tool is provided by Mint.com. You can sign up for a free account and provide them with the userid and password for your bank accounts and credit cards. (There are trust issues here. Check out their safeguards before you sign up.) After accumulating some history, this application will suggest budget amounts for different categories. You can set your own amounts if you choose. When you exceed a budget amount, you can have alert emails sent to two different email addresses. If one of them is a list server, there is no limit to the number of people who can be notified.
