Been there! Rollercoaster incomes can make it so hard to budget. But, on the other hand, those are the times you need to budget more. You’ve got this, girl!

I just noticed a feature on my online pay stub where I can look at trends. So I just printed out four months of pay. A big problem for me has been that my income changes every week. I know. No excuse. So I realize that I have been making that an excuse to not budget. I figure that I can at least average my pay to try and forecast a budget for the next month. Next I have to track all my expenses for the month and match it up. I know it’s not going to be pretty, but it’s a start.

I also login to my online banking every day! But merely just out of habit. I try not to on the weekends, because I think I start to over analyze my money otherwise!
That’s awesome that you manage all of your finances for your relationship. Props to you šŸ™‚

Once a month I let my hubby know how things are going. He likes that I take care of it all!

Writing it down on paper hurts more than entering a number into a spreadsheet. That’s awesome to hear that you guys are starting to roll with savings. It can be super draining, but if you take the time to map out a plan it can be a breeze!

Also my wife and I started doing our financed bi-monthly(pretty much the same concept you have here) and finally started saving money. And at the time we where not making very much at all. Between the two of us we where making less than 40k but still saving over 800 a month. (no kids). but with out dedicating that time to our finances we would not have saved a dime and even today while things are much better financially if we don’t take the time out to do our finances we don’t save anything that month guaranteed.
