I used to use this method to budget for my bills because it was suggested for people with irregular income (I was payed hourly and didn't have a consistent schedule). I fell off the band wagon over the last year or so, and let me tell you this method makes all the difference! It's so easy, and I never felt like I didn't have enough money to pay all my bills and still have a little fun. Seriously do this you guys! It's so worth it!!

@parristraylor 5 лет назад

I randomly found you and I been so obsessed. I started to cash envelope my money and got my mom into it too because of you! I don't really have a job because I'm focusing on school but when I do get money I split it up

@kitdubhran2968 5 лет назад

I've actually done this for years. I've fallen off the wagon and gotten myself back on again every once and a while, but I love splitting the bills so that everything comes out evenly and you always have the same amount needed from each check. Thanks for posting this!

Wish i knew to do this when i was first out on my own. I had no idea how to really budget. My parents were terrible with money and so all i knew was to pay when it was due or overdue. My husband and i follow this system of splitting up bills and it is awesome! We tend to be ahead on our bills and it is so nice to have that peace of mind.

@heatherbogle2003 5 лет назад

Instead of taking that second paycheck and going ham with it, set aside half of next months bills and you'll be amazed how good it feels to only have to pull out half. From someone who's paycheck are normally like $400, it killed me paying my car insurance out of that. Now I set aside half and then half the next check and pay it.

@kaylacorrine4139 5 лет назад

Heather Bogle That’s exactly what she suggested doing in the video? Going ham with the second paycheck would only defeat the purpose of trying to budget/beginning to split your bills.

I get paid twice a month. I take the bills that I pay online and pay them half the payment each paycheck. That way I don't spend it. On the other bills that are auto pay (which I hate) I put half the money in savings for each bill. Then right before it is due put it back in my checking.

@staciehorvath7843 5 лет назад

My boyfriend and I are trying to do a no spend month so we can pay 2 months worth of rent and 2 months worth of utilities to our landlord at once so we are always a month ahead. It will take us 1 month to save up the money if we do the no spend month and only use our money on necessities. So our rent utilities internet bill and car payment will be due on the 1st and it will be a month ahead every month instead of us paying our utilties on the 14th of the month and our rent on the 30th and the internet bill on the 9th and car payment on the 21st. Do you think that will work? Then everything would be paid by the 1st of every month.

How do you stay on track? I have lots of bills especially credit cards, none are max out. How do you split the bills with only making at least $840 every 2 weeks

@EVTD79 5 лет назад

I'm definitely gonna try this because I STAY BROKE and STRUGGLING. My question to you is when you are saving half, what do you do with it? Do you save half and keep it in the account for the total amount due or do you just pay the half every two weeks? Hope that makes sense.

@Nijilove78 5 лет назад

I don't know if you got your answer, but she will save both halves and pay it at the same time

@chinarain1167 5 лет назад

@bekah21091 5 лет назад

Hey, I subscribed recently and I love your videos, very helpful. I have a question, what would you suggest for me, I get paid 15 and 30th of the month, me car payment is due on the 1st and my insurance is due on the 15th, I like this method, but part of me thinks I should do it for everything except those two bills, they are about the same amount, and they are due on pay day basically, so should split my checks for everything except these two, or should I split everything including these two? Sorry it’s so long.

@watchmesave4912 5 лет назад

You can try allocatinh half of the amount of car payment on the 15th and the other half when you get paid on the 30th. This way when the 1st comes around the money is ready. Or you can use your paycheck on the 30th to pay the car payment on the first. You can pay your insurance using the check on the 15th. Check the cutoff times if applicable.

How should I split my bills if I get paid once a month?

@tracichristyhurt4955 Год назад

Biweekly budgeting has been so complicated, so splitting my bills like this should help tremendously. Instead of being paid always on the 1st and 15th the dates are ALWAYS changing every month… But it would usually operate like twice a month pay dates but with two additional paychecks per year right? 😂 Still learning!

@amartinez0913 5 лет назад

Great great video! One question though, how would you incorporate bills that are due bimonthly or quarterly? My trash bill is due quarterly and my water bill is due bimonthly.

@alyssamakesamigurumi 5 лет назад

amartinez0913 that would be a sinking fund then! 😊 I have a video all about sinking funds, but basically if your trash bill is $80 every 4 months you would set aside $20 per month for it!

@saraboutin2210 4 года назад

I do this. My husband and I were working the same shift so we both had pay every two weeks. He then got a new job where his pay was now semi monthly, well, we had bills (all of them) come out on our biweekly pay cheque’s (yes I’m Canadian). So how the heck did we do our new budget. Well, for our biweekly bills we added them up over the 26 payments then divided the total over the new 24 pay days. We have all that money moved to a different account we have just for bills. Now when the months (2 a year) come around with the extra payments we have that extra “saved” up in the Bills account. Key is to NOT take money from the Bills account LOL
