Are any of you good at budget planning?
Do you have to do checkbooks and plan bills in advance?

I dont break down each bill.
I put $200 a week into the bank.
The rest I spend as needed.

I utilize a spreadsheet I created to manage my bills/expected deposits. Basically incoming funds (eft, deposits) across the top with dates/amounts and down the left hand side grouped by category are the bills or required payments. I have subtotals throughout and at the bottom it gives me a total of available balance after all bills/savings is paid. This is the plan week to week, doesn't always work out as listed but its a plan I try to stick to, to ensure the bills are covered for the month. I normally plan out like 2 months in advance.

I usually just have a monthly allowance and pay whatever is due.

I leave asside money for different things, but no I dont really go into intense planning. 60% goes to the bank. The rest is used as needed.
