<prompt> Human: Im a college student and get exactly 1,004 euros a month scholarship child benefit money from the government.My fiancé is self-employed and usually does big projects that can take months. He could get paid a big advance when a project is initially funded, then some more when certain milestones are completed, and then a percentage of sales once the project is finished. Basically his income is really irregular and I was wondering how people in similar situations budget?Im a pretty strict budgeter myself, and I think Im pretty good at it, but I have no idea what were gonna do when were married. We do know we want to merge our finances completely, other than a small allowancefun money of maybe 50, 75 euros per month per person.  <response>: I opened up a savings account that all of my big checks go directly into. I never see them in my day to day checking account, so there isnt ever a I have a lot of cash, lets go nuts! kind of purchase. Then I set up auto transfers that pay my bills rent, student loans, health insurance automatically, so I never can touch that money either.Then I pay myself a small salary out of that account for partying and fun, but by the time I do that everything else is auto-paid for.
