<prompt> Human: Hey PF, my wife is changing jobs and will get paid on the 15th and 30th or 31st of each month, while we both used to get paid on the same day, every other Friday. Right now I have half of each monthly billsavings transferred out of our checking account on paydays. This was simple and left us with cash in our account for variable expenses that we could spend until its gone. So how are we going to handle this new pay schedule? Its going to be weird getting a paycheck on a random Tuesday. And Im not sure how we will break out which billssavings come out of which check yet. Anyone else have an income schedule like this and how do you budget for it? ThanksEdit: heres what I think is throwing me off - I have automatic transfers into sub accounts for bills and savings every other Friday. Most of our bills get charged to my CC and I pay that out of the bills subaccount. The mortgage gets paid out of its own sub account, emergency fund has its own account, etc. This keeps things straight in my head and makes it easy for us to glance at our checking balance and know that only debit card transactions will be coming out. Those transfers are what are confusing me but maybe Im making it overly complicated.  <response>: Are you living paycheck-to-paycheck? If not, what does it matter which dates you get paid as long as you get paid for the month?
