Why budget by paycheck?

Monthly budgets quietly assume all your money arrives at once. It doesn't — and the rent that's due on the 1st can't wait for the check on the 15th. Assigning each bill to the check that precedes it kills the mid-month cash crunch that wrecks otherwise good budgets.

The “left unassigned” number should read $0. Not because you spent everything — because every dollar got a job: bills, spending, or savings. If it's negative, a bill needs to move to the other check or the spending line needs a haircut.
