>What about it? Is there a budget module? I had a pretty decent spreadsheet set up in Excel to do this, but the wife just started getting paid every two weeks while get paid on the 1st and 15th, and it was hard to keep those in sync.

You just pretend she's still paid twice a month, and then two months in a year she gets an extra check - nice surprise. Budget (budge it?) as if these two checks don't exist.
