Hey Kalie, when I had a regular/steady income I mostly tracked expenses too. I did make a monthly budget, but I already knew exactly what would be coming in and what would be going out of my account every month. Irregular income makes it harder, but it can be done.

We focus more on tracking than budgeting, but we have a regular income and have most expenses in frugal mode. I’ve always wondered how to budget as a freelancer or other irregular income, and living on last month’s pay seems like the best approach.

That’s a great idea Steve! I’m glad you are on board with living off last month’s income. I think it’s a great way to do things too.

I keep a separate account that I have buffered for the year so I simply transfer over to my checking exactly what we need for the month. That way I won’t be lured into spending more than needed for a month.

Thanks so much Steve! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ve found that an irregular income doesn’t have to be scary, but you definitely need to budget off of a lower number than your highest monthly income that way you aren’t in trouble if your income is lower than expected.

I agree that the more irregular your income, the more important it becomes to know exactly where your money is going. At the very least it will help to normalize your expenditures by living your life on less than your best-income months. Doing this will also help you to save more than you probably otherwise would.

I just found your blog this evening – great work! I’m definitely going to be a consistent reader. 🙂
