Stop a yearly bill landing as a shock

Turn rego, insurance, and school fees into a monthly amount you already expect.

  1. Step 1

    List the bills that come once or twice a year

    Car rego, insurance, rates, school fees, Christmas, a domain, a professional membership. Use last year's amount if this year is not out yet.

  2. Step 2

    Divide each one by 12

    That monthly figure is what to set aside. A $720 rego is $60 a month, which is easier than $720 on the due week.

  3. Step 3

    Park that money away from spending

    A separate account named "yearly bills" is enough. Do not leave it in the account you tap for groceries.

  4. Step 4

    Add the due month to a calendar

    You still need the date. The monthly amount only works if the lump sum is there when the bill arrives.
