When bills come in they go to the "IN" pile. On payday anything that is in the "IN" pile gets paid. I also make up a list that goes along with the bills for stuff I need; toiletries, household cleaning stuff, etc. I then take it shopping. Fill the car with gas, and see how much money I have left, and divide it by the 14 days until the next payday. Then act like I'm broke until a couple of days before payday. Then if I have extra cash I buy stuff that I want.
Of course there are things like mortgage, tax, insurance that are on automattic withdrawl.
