Default RE: budget - non-monthly items

Thanks, but my electric bill is already set up as every other month in the
Bills section. Are you saying I should try deleting it and setting it up
again?

Go to Bills, make sure you are in Advanced Bills (look at the upper right
corner of the Bills screen to see if you are Advanced or Essential; if not
Advanced,use Change Bill Settings to get there. Then set up your electric
bill using "New - Bill" and chose "every other month" as the frequency.

Default budget - non-monthly items

In Money 05, my budget has several items that aren't paid monthly. Mostly
there are every other month.

Money enters these into my budget as monthly bills at half the amount that's
due every other month. (e.g. it lists my $300 semimonthly electricy bill as
$150 each month).

So on months when I don't pay the electricity bill, Money thinks I'm
underspent. And when I DO pay it, Money thinks I've overspent.

Surely there's a way around this? Seems very basic but I can't figure it out.

Thanks.
