<prompt> Human: I am having issues with the simplest form of budgeting there is. And Im gonna have a rough time explaining what I do, so go easy on me.We are trying to pay all our bills obviously and not spend as much PLUS put extra money away to pay extra on my car. He gets paid bi weekly, I get paid weekly and I also get child support bi weekly on the same weeks he gets paid. So every other week we only have 400 coming in, but then on the alternating weeks, we have around 1300- coming in. I try to have most of my bills on auto pay:Weekly:Car payment 111I also have a babysitter that Im paying for the month of july, 100 a week Bi-weekly: Daycare 150Monthly:College 75Netflixhbo 25Insurance 80Thats just the stuff thats auto paid. I try to make envelopes for:1000 rentgroceries about 200 phone 45 - straight talk so it cant be autopay Other insurance 80Now these are mostly bigger amounts, so I try to split them up weekly and then pay once we get it all together. But we still end up with an extra couple hundred bucks one week and were in the hole on other weeks. Theres gotta be an easier way to do this, and I feel like Im just not seeing it. I probably forgot a few expenses but Im in my car on my lunch break. Can someone else just add some fresh eyes?  <response>: Budget for the month, or every two weeks. You dont have to budget weekly, almost none of your bills are weekly. Over x time, we can reliably make y, and we will owe z to other people. What is left over and what do we want it to do for us in the next x amount of time?
