About this episode

The episode discusses how to manage annual bills and simplify budgeting for unexpected expenses.

Curious? Take The Free Money Stress Quiz! Ready? Buy Our Simplified Budget System Now! Budget besties, today we’re talking about one of the least exciting—but most important—parts of budgeting: annual bills. Mary joined us to talk through a common sticking point. She had already automated her money, separated her spending accounts, and created savings buckets, but she still felt unsure about how much to save for expenses that only show up a few times a year. You know the ones: car registration, property taxes, memberships, quarterly bills, insurance premiums, and all those other “expected unexpected” expenses that somehow still manage to surprise us. In this episode, we help Mary simplify her system, separate annual bills from regular maintenance expenses, and create a plan that reduces stress without requiring her to constantly move money around.
