Which bill to pay first when your pay is short

Free sample

A one page decision sheet. You work down it, you stop when the money runs out, and it tells you what to do about the gap.


An order of operations, not advice

Eight categories in the order that keeps a roof over you and the lights on. Work down it. Stop where the money stops.

Two moves for the gap

What to cut and what to move to the next payday, and how to ask for it. Both of them are ordinary requests that people say yes to.

A worked example with real arithmetic

$1,540 came in. $1,867 was owing. Every dollar is accounted for and nothing goes to collections.

The full Irregular Income Budget is coming

A spreadsheet for people whose pay is different every month. Paycheque smoothing, a bills calendar, the short month priority list and a year view. We will email you when it is ready, at the launch price, and you can ignore that email if it is not for you.

Nothing here says you are bad with money. The sheet assumes the arithmetic is the problem, because usually it is.
