I receive bi-weekly paychecks, with the majority going toward rent and the remainder going toward groceries or gas. An occasional bill. Bills are paid with the next payment, but I never know what’s left over. The dates on all of my bills are dispersed.
I believe that having a monthly salary would allow me to pay all of my expenditures and see what is left over. I don’t know where my money is being spent.
I use a 2% cash back credit card, which I pay off in full once a month, to cover practically all of my expenses. Do this only if you have the self-control to ALWAYS make the monthly payment.
The book “I survived capitalism & all I got was this lousy t-shirt” taught me that opening a separate bank account is an alternative. Once a month, deposit the amount you would due on your bills, and then simply let them all deplete it. Less calendar monitoring 
if you don’t have the funds to deposit when you set up for the initial billing cycle, the only difficult part might be getting it started. However, I suppose you could also do deposits every two months. Perfect following that!
This. Profit from your payroll’s capacity to divide checks into several accounts. Add up all of your monthly expenses (phone, rent, insurance, etc.) and set up a different account for them to be deducted automatically. Divide your income such that any excess funds go into a play or discretionary account and the amount you need to cover is automatically sent into that account.
I carry this out. I have a savings account, one bill, and one expenditure. I deposit the necessary amount for bills during that two-week pay period. The remaining amount is put toward savings. I put tips into spending since I get paid for them too, and anything I don’t use within a day or two goes into savings.
I transfer money from savings if my expenses exceed what I have in my check.
i will try this thank you for your good advice
