  My brain just does not compute budgeting that way. I budget on my fortnightly pay cycle, with monthly and yearly payments averaged out.

    Same. A fortnight is a fortnight, every bill or estimated bill gets divided into fortnightly payments even if it’s $3 per fortnight. Getting paid 3 times a month makes no difference at all to my accounting/budgeting…

    I just run a spreadsheet. Pay1 on X pay 2 on Y, reoccurring bills all colourcoded in accordance to what pay cycle purview they land in + half a mortgage payment = total for that pay. Subtract ones with PAID next to them from the total for a running idea of how much moneys I need to have before next pay rolls in

  I plotted this out in calendars when I got paid fortnightly as well. It feels good knowing its happening but I wish my bank account felt the difference more

      I managed to have one in February oddly enough. You can jam 3 pays in there if you pack them real tight
