Bi-Weekly Budget

Bi-Weekly Budget – Same as the Monthly Budget, but this version assumes 2 pay periods per month.
Making a monthly budget should be like tying your shoes except for somehow this simple and critical skill is not taught and rarely discussed. If you don’t operate a household budget then consider this your wakeup call. Get off the couch and participate in your life. Be an adult. Cash – the very life blood of your personal freedom – flows in and out of your hands each month. It’s worth 30 minutes every 30 days to plan and document how you interact with such a vital component of our civilized society. This version provides an example of a single month budget – all income and outflow centralized into a single view for the month.

It’s pretty bad that many people don’t do basic financial planning. This stuff needs to be taught in high school or earlier. Hell, I didn’t even know what an IRA was until my senior year in college when some dude came into a class and told us all that stuff.

Budgeting is a life skill we kinda assume people know but never really teach. It should be required training. The societal payoffs would be astounding.
