Plan for irregular expenses

The bills that aren't monthly.

4 min read

Car registration, annual subscriptions, gifts and repairs can wreck a budget that only plans for monthly bills.

How

  1. List every cost that comes once or a few times a year
  2. Add up the yearly total
  3. Divide by 12
  4. Set that amount aside monthly in a separate account
