Nicole divides her finances into two categories:
- Cash
- Investments
She tracks these two categories separately.
Her Cash is further divided into three:
- On-hand
- Bank
- E-wallets
Her On-hand Cash is further divided into two:
- On-the-go wallet
- Home wallet
She has several banks
- Unionbank (open an account online)

Her e-wallets include:
- Gcash
- Paymaya
- Coins.ph
- Grabpay (similar with Paymaya but probably has more points)
- Paypal
Nicole has excellent advice on How to be safe when online shopping using e-wallets.
